Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
To enable the student to combine previously learned course material with their individual talents in order to solve real-life industry projects. To develop in the students the ability to organise and direct their own work and to present this work in written and verbal format in a proper manner.
An 8 week industrial learning placement will form the core element of this model. Participants unable to secure an 8 week placement will be facilitated through participation in a UL Practicum project or an individual project or series of activities deemed appropriate by the course board.
Assessment will be based on a report or portfolio of experience from the activities of the 8 week placement.
Syllabus:
Each student is required to obtain a suitable project during the industrial learning placement period. Under the supervision of a member of staff and guided by the industrial supervisor, the student will progress along a logical path to resolve the specified problem. The student will integrate the content of their industrial skills stream into a portfolio to record their progress through the project.
