Level 3 - Engineering Technician
Metallurgical Science 3
Course Overview
Course Outline
Certificate in Metallurgy - Optional Module 1.
Course Objective
​
The student will develop their subject knowledge and application skills and use the learning resources to a greater depth, supporting development of theory, practical, or other project-based activities to support and develop their own learning requirements.
​
Students will further develop their independent study skills and associated evaluation, along with improving their research skills. They will use e-Learning and M&C learning materials along with their own research and resources.
​
This will extend the student's knowledge in the metallurgical sciences, linking to their academic programme and vocational field within the Higher Education setting.
​
​
Course Content
Students will choose from Modules already completed:
​
There are 3 Options to choose from in the Metallurgical Science 3 Module.
Choice Options:
​
Option 1:
An assignment developing more depth and breadth which is designed around the indicative content for the student to demonstrate the use of scientific principles covering the indicative content in the module.
​
The appropriate Learning Outcomes will be chosen by the student to be inline with their assignment and taken from the above-mentioned Modules.
​
Option 2:
​
This will include an assignment linking this to a Mini Work-Based Project (MWBP).
The student will go through the planning, studying and organising phase linking to the creating a Major WBP designed around the indicative content of the 3 modules mentioned above where students can demonstrate the use of scientific principles.
Students will choose from a combination of indicative content taken from the Metallurgical Science 1 & 2 and the Research and Independent Study Modules.
The planning, studying and organising will be undertaken within 4 weeks to create a MWBP format, with the Major WBP taking an additional 9 weeks to complete. The student will use their workplace to apply the subject knowledge and application skills.
Three Learning Outcomes to be chosen by the student from the above-mentioned 3 Modules.
Option 3:
​
