Missed snippets
Just tidying up my e-mail and finding things that got missed in the mix, e.g.
Wondering whether we should keep an eye on the outcomes of the following: Graduate Employability - Employer Responsibility: Higher Education Academy national online survey
The aim of the research is to find evidence of the impact of employer's ethical, social and environmental responsibility on the graduate job market, the career choices made by students about employers who are socially and environmentally responsible, the gaps between the values, culture and competencies of new graduate recruits and the requirements of employers, and the feasibility of bridging any gaps through university education. The Higher Education Academy is asking for input via the survey which is being run on their behalf by StudentForce for Sustainability.
Student employability profiles - The Higher Education Academy and its Subject Centres have compiled the Student Employability Profiles with the Council for Industry and Higher Education (CIHE).
Engineering Benchmark Statement 2006 - The QAA has published the revised subject benchmark statement for engineering which defines the academic standard expected of graduates with an engineering degree. The defined learning outcomes are those published by the Engineering Council UK (ECUK) in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC): The Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (2004). These learning outcomes, also described by the engineering community as 'output standards', have evolved from the first edition of the Subject benchmark statement for engineering (QAA, 2000) and the Engineering Professors' Council (EPC) Engineering Graduate Output Standard (published 2000). By using the latest published learning outcomes from the ECUK in this revised subject benchmark statement, programme providers can now use a single set of learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are expressed for the threshold level that engineering students would be expected to have attained upon graduation. It is anticipated that there will be many programmes where this threshold level will be exceeded.This subject benchmark statement covers engineering degrees at the honours level and at the integrated master's level (MEng), as defined in The framework for higher education qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FHEQ).
The Scholarship of Assessment articles available in Issue 1 of Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (LATHE) a peer-reviewed journal published by The Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT) at the University of Gloucestershire. ¶ 11:15 am
