Foundation Degree Electrical & Electronic Engineering

... United Kingdom
... South and City College Birmingham

Course Overview

The programme provides a progression route to Higher Education which supports the regional skills agenda, including widening participation and increased female participation in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). The core academic disciplines are Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE) and Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering. These address a regional core skills gap, and will include development of quantitative, digital, knowledge transfer, wellbeing, personal development, problem solving, creativity, reflection and employability skills. The curriculum will include access to facilities across all partners, so that students are integrated into the study communities of all teaching partners; this is crucial to supporting the transition from South & City College to the University of Birmingham.

The wrap-around provision from University of Birmingham (including academic and employability skills support, intervention workshops for mathematics skills, and online content) and the mathematics support resources from the University of Birmingham are key elements missing from existing progression pathways.

The programme will provide a parallel path to the first two years of the traditional degree programmes at the University of Birmingham. The innovation here is the teaching and learning strategy, and wrap-around support will be geared towards the student cohort, with the longer terms at South & City College providing the opportunity to do this. Support for summer industrial placements will be built into the programme as "value-added" rather than credit bearing; the experience will connect to the project work through the academic years, for which the syllabus, learning objectives and assessment methods are professionally-focussed.
