Year 3

Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
ACS395	Year in Industry	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 60 or above at Level 1 and Level 2 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the Departmental Director of Learning and Teaching. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering (ACSU15).

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take ACS395 Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Departmental Director of Learning and Teaching. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of BEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering (ACSU15).

ACSU43 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Departmental Director of Learning and Teaching. The Year in Industry will be assessed using: (a) a short written report; (b) a post-placement presentation. No grades will be awarded for the Year in Industry which will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering (ACSU15)
