Abstract

I supervise the Employment Experience Module with the semester 1 stage 2 Mechanical Engineering Ordinary Degree class. The Module MECH2039 is a voluntary module that if the students pass successfully, they receive an exemption from the module MECH2002 Professional Development in semester 2 stage 2. This module was initialized by a recommendation from Engineers Ireland to incorporate more employment related activities into the module. Also, it has noted through student attendance that a large part of the mechanical student cohort is engaged in part time employment, and it was agreed at departmental level that some academic benefit could be aligned with this. This module was set up as a pass/fail module where the students must complete an Employer/Employee Questionnaire, submit a detailed Professional Employment Experience report and make a PowerPoint Presentation to a panel of Mechanical Lecturing staff.
