Aims of the Programme
This programme aims at developing graduates competent in the fundamentals of
both electronics and computer science. The programme described in this
document builds upon the Department’s well established Electrical Engineering
and Electronics BEng (Hons) programme and provides additional specialised core
modules which cover the fundamentals of computer science. In addition we aim
to produce graduates with wider transferable skills (communication, team-
working, organisational awareness, project management etc.) who are able to
meet the needs of a wide spectrum of employers both within and outside the
electronics sector. This programme has been designed to meet the educational
requirements of a BEng degree accredited by the Institution of Engineering and
Technology (IET).
We also aim to provide an intellectually stimulating, rigorous, challenging and
rewarding experience for the students on this programme along with an exposure
to the state of the art tools used for developing electronic systems.

34. Industrial placement/work placement/year abroad:
Year 3 will take place in an appropriate industrial engineering environment e.g.
electronics company, electrical utility company, engineering consultancy, etc.
Careers Employability Services will work with the department to assist students
in gaining a placement. All such placements and the programme of work to be
carried out as part of such will be approved by the Director of Studies. Students
on placements will be assigned a supervisor within the Department except
where the placement is on Suzhou Industrial Park in which case supervision may
be delegated to an appropriate academic staff member of XJTLU. Supervisors
will provide a point of contact for the student within the University and will be
involved in assessment stages of the placement year
Preparation for the year in industry will begin in Year 1 through ELEC171
“Experimental and Software Skills with Sustainability” which is 15 credit module.
This preparation will be continued in Year 2 through module ELEC222 “Project,
Problem Solving and Industrial Awareness” which is a 7.5 credit module.
Following the year in industry, students will undertake project work which forms
25% of the final year mark. Projects will be relevant to the industrial partner
with whom students have spent the previous year. Normally students and their
industrial placement partners will be expected to agree a project for the
student’s final year of study. These projects will be subject to the approval of
the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
35. Liaison between the Level 2 Schools/Institutes involved:
We liaise with the Board of Studies of Department of Computer Science.
Part E: Learning, Teaching And Assessment Strategies
36. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies:
These programmes comply with the University’s Code of Practice on Assessment
http://www.liv.ac.uk/tqsd/code-of-practice-on-assessment/
and with the Department’s Learning and Teaching Strategy.
The Learning and Teaching Strategy for the Department is geared to support its
Aims and Mission Statement. It seeks to provide a structure and environment
that is consistent with the provision of high-quality engineering degree
programmes and for the development of knowledge, understanding and skills
that professional engineers are expected to attain. The content of the different
undergraduate engineering degree programmes is, to a large extent, prescribed
by the appropriate Professional Institutions. The Institutions also expect
engineering graduates to have a wide range of knowledge, understanding, skills
HG6L Programme Specification UG

and awareness (more details available in the student handbook).
The first two years of the undergraduate programmes are intended to give a
broad foundation in the basic principles of electronic engineering, computer
science and to provide a broad foundation across the discipline as a whole. In
the final year of the BEng programmes, the studies include an in-depth
treatment of a selection of subjects that is coherent and appropriate to the
particular specialism. Assessment is through traditional written examinations
and continuous assessment exercises. Many of the modules require students to
develop skills in independent learning. Most teaching is carried out by academic
staff and University-recognised teachers. Experimental officers, research staff
and trained postgraduate students undertake some teaching (particularly
laboratory classes) under the supervision of academic staff.

Code of Practice on Assessment
The University has a Code of Practice on Assessment which brings together the
main institutional policies and rules on assessment. The Code is an authoritative
statement of the philosophy and principles underlying all assessment activities and
of the University's expectations in relation to how academic subjects design,
implement and review assessment strategies for all taught programmes of study.
The Code of Practice includes a number of Appendices which provide more detail
on the regulations and rules that govern assessment activity; these include:
The University marks scale, marking descriptors and qualification descriptors;
The model for non-clinical first degree programmes;
The system for classifying three-year, non-clinical, undergraduate degrees;
The system for classifying four-year, non-clinical, undergraduate degrees that
include a year in industry or a year abroad;
Information about students’ progress, including guidance for students;
The procedure for assessment appeals;
Regulations for the conduct of exams;
The University’s policy on making adjustments to exam arrangements for
disabled students.
The code of practice relating to external examining (see also below)
HG6L Programme Specification UG
TQSD/14.15
12 of 12
The Academic Integrity Policy, which covers matters such as plagiarism and
collusion and includes guidance for students;
The policy relating to mitigating circumstances which explains what you should
do if you have mitigating circumstances that have affected assessment; and
The policy on providing students with feedback on assessment.
Please click here to access the Code of Practice on Assessment and its appendices;
this link will also give you access to assessment information that is specific to your
cohort:
A summary of key assessment information is also available in the ‘Your University’
handbook.
Marking criteria:
Assessment of Projects
Each department provides detailed guidelines to students on the planning,
implementation and assessment of major projects (those worth 22.5 credits or
more). Staff use standard mark sheets for each assessment element (one or
more of: report, log book, oral presentation, viva) at each stage of the project
(typically Proposal, Interim and Final). The weightings of each element of each
stage are tabulated. Descriptive criteria are provided that indicate the features
of an excellent submission. Each mark sheet lists assessment features for each
element; the examiner selects a descriptive grade (eg. ‘Very Good’) and/or
writes a short descriptive evaluation before arriving at a mark for the element.
Administrative staff collate the assessment elements to arrive at the module
mark. If the overall project mark is a marginal fail, the examiners and
moderator will carry out a detailed review before approving the mark (since a
failure means that the student’s degree may be unaccredited by one or more of
the professional institutions).

38. Student representation and feedback:
The departmental Staff-Student (Undergraduate) Liaison Committee has been
established in accordance with the University Code of Practice on Student
Representation (a copy of the code can be accessed at:
https://www.liv.ac.uk/media/livacuk/tqsd/student-enhancement/student-
representation/cop_on_student_representation.pdf
The committee normally meets twice per semester. Its membership, terms of
reference and the manner in which it conducts its business conforms with the
Annex to the Code of Practice on Student Representation. Elections to the
Committee will be carried out as necessary within the structure determined by
the University Student Representation Steering Group, and Programme
