9. ASSESSMENTThe IC aims to provide you with relevant, high quality, practical training which is integrated with andcomplementary to your academic studies. The training programme for each course is different.Training is conducted on a modular basis and each training module normally lasts one week. In mostmodules, you will spend the entire week in a single IC workshop. Some modules may, however,require you to attend more than one workshop in the week.Apart from workshop training, studies in Engineering Drawing (both manual and computer-aided),Computer Training and Industrial Safety may also form part of your IC programme.Depending on your academic programme, you may be required to participate in a Team Project(Manufacturing/Construction/Integrated Project). This is also an essential part of your IC training.The assessment of your performance in such projects is carried out separately from that of yourmodular training.IC training is an important and integral part of your study programme. You are advised to payserious regard to your training assessment. Failure in any one of the assessed elements may result inyour degree, diploma, or other academic award being withheld.9.1 Principles of AssessmentTo prepare for progression through your study, you should fulfill the curriculum requirements ofyour IC Training, and know the assessment method, assessment criteria, grading system, anddetailed requirements for academic progress in IC e.g. requirement for continuous assessment etc.,all of which are set out below.9.1.1 Training ModulesAll training modules are continuously assessed. The following elements are taken into account:-(i)Skills Acquisition (Assignment)While your IC training is not intended to make a craftsman of you, during your training youwill naturally pick up various manual or task-oriented skills. You will be rated on these, andon the quantity and quality of your work output. Normally a mark grade from A+ to F will begiven.(ii)Technology Appreciation (Test)In most workshops, at or near the end of your training you will be given an AppreciationTest, usually in multiple-choice format, to assess your understanding of the technicalprinciples underlying the training. Normally a mark out of 100 will be given.(iii)Workshop ReportOn almost all IC training programmes, to your supervisors in every workshop in which youundertake training you must submit a short but thorough technical record of the work youhave done.
