Studies
Introductory Lecture
Assignment A
2018-19
B81PI
Assignment A - Part 1
• Demonstrate professional engineering competencies
mapped to UK-SPEC criteria
• Maximum 3 pages with suggested format:
– ½ page introduction to the experience(s) being reported.
– ½-¾ page on two of the UK-SPEC competences related to your experience(s):
• A – Knowledge and understanding
• B – Design and development of processes, systems, services and products
• C – Responsibility, management or leadership
• D – Communication and inter-personal skills
– ½-¾ page on UK-SPEC competence E related to your experience(s):
• E – Professional commitment
• Diagrams are not required unless essential to illustrate the discussion.
• References should be listed appropriately if used, but will count towards
the page limit.
13
Studies
• The experience(s) you write about can broadly based, for example:
• University project(s)
• Work experience
• Internships
• Sports, even hobbies
• One experience may give you enough material to write about all three
competences.
• Or you may want to write about a different experience for each
competence.
• Or you may even want to write about a number of experiences to help
demonstrate each competence.
• And don’t get buried in the technical detail - the background is fine (what
the project was, what the problem was etc.), but don’t need to dwell on the
technical specifics.
14
Studies
Assignment A
Part 1 Competences
• You do not need to demonstrate each of the subcategories (for
example, B1, B2 and B3) for the various competences.
• However, these are useful to give you a guide to what you
could write about.
• The focus of the assessment (and hence marking) will be on the
broader competence, for example:
• For competence C, how have you demonstrated accepting
and exercising personal responsibility.
• If you want to be more specific and refer to the subcategories
feel free to do so – but there are no extra marks for doing so!

15
Studies
• Summary of industry guest lectures.
• Three summaries required
– One from your discipline.
– One each from two different disciplines.
• Maximum 2 pages
– ½ to ¾ page on each speaker.
• Summaries should reference the particular UK-SPEC
competences the speakers discuss in their lectures.
– Where these are not be specifically mentioned, you will need to
determine these yourself.
• You should also list the guest lectures you attended and briefly
describe why you have selected the ones you have written
about. 2018-19 B81PI: Professional & Industrial
16
Studies
• Speakers come from a range of backgrounds and
industries.
• They are coming to share their experiences, so will
focus either be on a specific topic, or on their career
and development.
– Speakers have been requested not to make their talks too
discipline specific, although it may be unavoidable in places.
– However, just because someone has a background in
chemical engineering does not mean that their experiences
are not relevant to an electrical engineering student.
• These are not company sales or recruitment pitches.
17
Studies
• When identifying the competences discussed by the
guest speakers, keep it at the overall competence
level, for example [A], [B], etc. rather than the
subcategories.
• Not all of speakers will clearly identify which
competence they are talking about… you will need to
determine this.

18
Studies
• Lecture slides
– Where the guest lecturer gives permission for their slides to be shared, these
will be made available on Vision either before the lecture (if sent ahead of time)
or shortly afterwards.
– There may be one or two guest lecturers who will not make their slides available
and these will be advised at the start of the class.
• Recording
– All guest lecturers have been asked if it is OK for their lectures to be recorded.
– Unless otherwise advised, you can record the lectures.
– However, there may be one or two lectures where you will be asked not to
record them.
• Note: where slides are not provided, or permission is not given to record the
lecture, this has normally been requested by the speaker's employer's legal
department and not the individual speaker or the University.
19
Studies
Assignment B
2018-19
B81PI
Assignment B - Part 1
• Demonstrate responsibility, leadership,
communication and interpersonal skills.
• Maximum 3 pages
– ½ page introduction to the project.
– ½-¾ page on each of the following UK-SPEC competences:
• C – Responsibility, management or leadership
• D – Communication and inter-personal skills
– ½ page conclusion on key lessons you have learnt and how you will use
these to continue your professional development.
• Diagrams are not required unless essential to illustrate the
discussion.
• References should be listed appropriately if used, but will count
towards the page limit.

• B49CB groups will be asked to provide peer assessment
feedback on each ‘supervisor’.
• This assessment will focus on, but is not limited to:
– Your attendance at meetings.
– Your participation in meetings.
– Value of your contributions.
– Your demonstration of professional behaviours.

22
Studies
• You will be asked to provide peer assessment feedback on
your B49CB group which will influence their final mark.
– This does not contribute to your course mark, but you will
be penalised if you do not participate.
• This assessment will focus on, but is not limited to:
– Their attendance at meetings.
– Their participation in meetings.
– Value of their contributions.
– Their demonstration of professional behaviours.
23
Studies
Assignment B - Notes
• The Course Leader for B49CB is Assistant Professor Dr Koh Kai Seng.
• B49CB has a portfolio of projects based on the Engineers Without
Borders ‘Engineering for People Design Challenge’.
– Sample EWB projects from previous years will be uploaded on Vision.
– Students can also register to EWB website using their HWU e-mail to find
more information - https://www.ewb-uk.org/
• Rooms for meetings have been booked and will be advised shortly.
– LR2 will be available on Tuesdays and LR3 will be available on Thursdays
from week 7 onwards in the B81PI slots.
– Groups and supervisors are free to meet elsewhere if that suits everyone
better.
• B49CB students will contact you to arrange meetings.
– If there are timetabling issues, then please try and resolve these first with
your group.
• Academic staff may sit-in on some group meetings!
24
Studies
• You are not expected to assist the groups with technical

advice or offer solutions.
– Your task is to oversee their behaviour, assist in giving them
effective direction, and make them take responsibility for
completing the tasks in their project.
• Any urgent or important issues/conflict which cannot be
resolved quickly by the group and supervisors MUST be
reported to both Ir Choo Chee Ming and Dr Koh Kai Seng.

25
Studies
• The word ‘supervision’ correctly reflects the context
within which the project is carried out.
– Advice is provided when requested and direction is given
when the supervisor considers it necessary.
– The role of the supervisor is to support and advise the
group, while the group is expected to be well motivated
and organised.

26
Studies
• Some key aims as supervisors are:
– to identify and develop personal attributes that enable
students to manage their project to the correct standard
and to complete it on time;
– to enable students to plan and organise their project in
order to successfully reach their full potential in their
chosen degree;
– to enable students to apply appropriate time
management skills to the planning of their project;
– to identify study skills and resource management
strategies that can benefit students to effectively
organise and research their project;
– to develop team work skills within the group.
27
Studies
• Working style
– Identify the attributes you consider to be strengths and those you
consider to be weaknesses.
– How you can develop the group (and your) self-discipline to improve
personal strengths and try to off-set any weaknesses in order to
improve time management.
• Time management
– reduce time wastage;
– be properly prepared for meetings;
– allocate the appropriate amount of time to a particular task;
– monitor the progress of the project;
– effectively plan each week;
– realistically plan the work to meet the deadlines.

28
Studies
• Resources
– Identify the resources that are available and endeavour to use them
efficiently in order to maximise their usefulness.
• It is essential that the group plan priorities, tasks and

deadlines for action on a daily or weekly basis.
– A priority is a task that must be complete before all other tasks. It is
usually not the quickest and easiest thing to do.
• Tasks can be allocated descriptors to identify them in order

of priority, urgent, important, not urgent, or not important.
– However, some tasks can be important, but not urgent.

29
Studies
• It is common that activities will take longer than previously
expected and that the initial order in which groups hoped to
complete them might have to change due to certain
resources becoming unavailable.
– The only way to combat these problems is to redraft the original plan
to take these issues into consideration.
• As tasks are completed and certain goals are achieved,

revising the plan will be necessary and will result in changes
to the initial goals list.
– Certain activities will be broken down into greater detail and some
may be lost, while others may be added.

30
Studies
Assignment C
2018-19
B81PI
Assignment C
• Encompasses all five competences.
• Plan and deliver group poster on an 'Engineering

Challenge' .
– Poster to be A1 size.

32
Studies
Assignment C
• Multidisciplinary groups will identify and
assess a possible project or opportunity
within their allocated challenge.
– The Groups will be formed by combining two
Assignment B Supervisor Groups.
• This assignment focuses on the first stage
required in any project – scoping it out and
understanding the problem you are aiming to
solve before jumping into the detail.

33
Studies
Assignment C
Engineering Challenges
• Nine Engineering Challenges based on key issues
identified by Royal Academy of Engineering:
1. Living without electricity
2. Sustainability of liquid biofuels
3. Wind energy
4. Future ship powering options
5. Electric vehicles
6. Designing domestic technologies to achieve greater efficiency and
less waste
7. Additive manufacturing
8. Industrial Systems: capturing value through manufacturing
9. Connecting data: driving productivity and innovation

34
Studies
Assignment C
Points to Cover
• Groups should aim to work on the following
points:
– Determine the current state of the technology
and/or industry.
• Intellectual property should be reviewed as part
of this.
– Define the project or available opportunity.
– Agree what 'success' looks like.
• What is the vision for when the project is up and
running and how will it be measured?
– Agree what drives the 'value' of the project.
• Might be economic, might be something else...
35
Studies
Assignment C
Points to Cover
• Groups should aim to work on the following
points:
– Define the boundaries of the project.
• You can't do everything, so what is realistic?
– Who are your stakeholders?
• Who can influence the project and by how much?
– What are the key risks and uncertainties?
• And how would you aim to resolve or mitigate
them?
– What are the possible (innovative)
alternatives that should be evaluated?
36
Studies
Assignment C - Poster
• The final poster should be a concise but
informative summary of the work the group
has done.
• Staff from all four disciplines will be invited to
view the posters, ask questions of the groups,
and then assess what they have seen.
• All members of the group are expected to
contribute to the discussion of their poster.
