PROGRAMME STANDARDS: ENGINEERING & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
MODE OF DELIVERY
Appendix 3
ENGINEERING
Whilst it is not possible to prescribe the most suitable delivery method for all programmes, this
Programme Standards document emphasizes the need for HEPs to ensure a variety of delivery
methods that will facilitate the development of the learning outcomes associated with individual
courses/modules. The delivery methods adopted must clearly demonstrate incremental
achievement of learning outcomes of courses/modules offered in different semesters and at
different qualification levels.
The delivery methods can include:
a. lectures with active learning
b. tutorials and group discussions
c. laboratory work with collaborative learning
d. field work or relevant industrial training
e. site visits
f. group projects with co-operative learning
g. individual projects
h. directed self-learning tasks
i. problem-based learning (PBL)
HEPs must also ensure that the various delivery modes adopted are accompanied by
appropriate assessment tools so that the achievement of the various learning outcomes
associated with the course/module is attained. Appropriate performance criteria (assessment
rubrics) must be developed to assess the learning outcomes associated with a particular
assessment tool.
