Programs : PG Dip Project Engineering
The Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE) is aimed at engineering projects at both tactical and strategic level (when Postgraduate Certificate Project Engineering (PG Cert PE) is aimed at engineering projects at a tactical level only).
Project engineering at a tactical level includes scope definition, schedule preparation, pre-planning, resource forecasting and negotiation.
Project engineering at a strategic level includes integration of project engineering into system and global engineering, risk engineering, project portfolio organisation, knowledge and quality systems.
Students develop ability to design and to organize project governance for a variety of projects:
- review project risks and mitigation,
- integrate applicable standards, conventions and practices,
- integrate engineering environment,
- organise et sustain communication for effective and efficient project governance.
Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE) is delivered by IX Academics:
- 150 contact hours (taught courses)
- 450hours tutored individual work
- 600 hours tutored team work
Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE) is awarded by University of Chester:
- 120 British Credits
- 60 European Credits (ECTS)
Partnership between IX Academics and University of Chester recognizes that IX Academics is the delivering hall for PG Dip PE.
Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE) integrates Postgraduate Certificate Project Engineering (PG Cert PE).
Postgraduate Certificate Project Engineering (PG Cert PE) is a prerequisite to apply for
Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE).
For each module of the Postgraduate Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE), student is expected to:
- attend contact hours (presentations, labs, team works, discussions and case studies),
- conduct personal research on application of the tools, techniques and methods taught or reviewed during the course,
- develop an individual case where the various tools, techniques and methods taught or reviewed during contact hours,
- review other individual cases and develop critical analysis,
- develop a team case with other students,
- review other team cases and develop critical analysis,
- prepare submission of assessment documents.
Individual case is designed with and by each student to match one’s background and expected professional future. Each student keeps the same case is taken all along the three modules PG Dip PE.
The three specific modules of the PG Dip PE are not necessarily taken sequentially:
For each module of Diploma Project Engineering (PG Dip PE), assessment is similar to Postgraduate Certificate Project Engineering (PG Cert PE)
All assessment is done by coursework (i.e. there are no exams).
In order to achieve an appropriate mix of assessment of knowledge, understanding and skills, a blend of assessment methods is required: Knowledge, understanding and application.
There are clear assessment criteria and a marking scheme for every assessment. Marking schemes identify levels of performance against specific learning outcomes.
They indicate how the final mark will be derived, and are designed to facilitate second marking and constructive feedback to students from the tutor.
