Tell me one place you visited over summer and one thing you learned over the summer.

How do you feel before this year in engineering?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

Summary of Assessment for this Module

• This unit is assessed by a set task of 60 marks provided by Pearson and completed under

supervised conditions. Part A is given to learners one week before Part B is scheduled. Learners are
advised to spend no more than 3 hours on Part A. Learners will be given a case study and produce
independent research, no design work should take place at this time, the perimeters of the design are
contained in part B.

• The supervised assessment period is eight hours and can be arranged over a number of sessions

within a two-week assessment period timetabled by Pearson, once the assessment has started the
learner must complete within five days. During the supervised assessment period, learners will
complete a task that will require them to follow a standard development process of interpreting a
brief, scoping initial design ideas, preparing a design proposal and evaluating their proposal.

• The assessment availability is December/January and May/June each year. 

Have you checked your access to the college platforms (eg, emails and CANVAS)?

Yes - I have and they are working fine

No - They are not working and I cannot access them at all

No - I haven't made any attempt to check if they have worked
