Developing a New Diploma in Engineering

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study tackles the themes of curriculum development, progression through STEM subjects and careers. By Hartlepool College of Further Education, the case study looks at the development of an engineering diploma and issues relating to timetable, resources and personnel. It reflects upon the difficulties of lecturing staff and school staff teaching in different environments.

The case study also identifies how the engineering diploma was marketed and how this led to support and advice for further career choices. It illustrates how studying at this level could lead students into local or national employment in engineering. It concludes that collaboration, led by senior management, has benefits for all involved.
