This course provides the means for students to accomplish the non-academic requirements for the BE(Hons). The requirements are for 800 hours engineering work experience and first aid competency.
Students who pass this course will be able to:1. Practice basic first aid in an emergency situation. 2. Understand the rights and duties of workers and engineers under the Health and Safety at Work Act (2015), and the implications for own engineering discipline. 3. Contextualise an engineering discipline in an industrial context with 800 hrs work experience covering different types of engineering work: Development of practical problem-solving capability which may be applied, manual, or to well-defined tasks; Development of professional capability to undertake complex engineering activities. This includes: Reflection; Critically evaluating their own knowledge; and the practices of industry.This course contributes towards specific graduate attributes:WA: Washington Accord graduate attributes per Engineering NZ: WA6 Health and safety, WA9 Individual and Teamwork, WA10 Communication, WA12 Life long learning.UCGA: University of Canterbury graduate attributes (UCGA 1 Critically evaluate issues in their discipline, UCGA 2 Students will develop key skills and attributes sought by employers, UCGA 4 Students will have observed and understood a culture within a community by reflecting on their own performance and experiences within that community)
Acceptance into a professional year of the BE(Hons) programme. RP: Completion of Engineering Intermediate
Completion of Engineering Intermediate
