Programme Aim The aim of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering is to provide skilled and competent engineering technicians specialised in mechanical, civil, electrical or electronic engineering for the New Zealand engineering sector. Graduates will be capable of operating at a technician level scope of practice as outlined by the Dublin Accord (International Engineering Alliance, 2002). The aim of the Programme of Study is to achieve the qualification outcomes of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering endorsed in a specialised strand of mechanical, civil, electrical or electronics.

Graduate Profile Graduates of this qualification will be able to:

• competently perform technical operations to the standards, ethical and professional responsibilities required by the engineering profession, as per the Dublin Accord 2002.

• work collaboratively within team environments to provide a comprehensive engineering service in the relevant specialist area

• apply the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Resource Management Act and Health & Safety in Employment Act while carrying out engineering activities

Civil Engineering strand graduates will also be able to:

• apply engineering theory to practice working within well-defined* engineering problems relevant to their specialist field of civil engineering

• use their engineering knowledge to make informed problem solving decisions in civil engineering and to implement these decisions

• identify, evaluate and manage risks within well-defined* engineering problems relevant to the field of civil engineering

Electrical Engineering strand graduates will also be able to:

• apply engineering theory to practice working within well-defined* engineering problems relevant to their specialist field of electrical engineering

• use their engineering knowledge to make informed problem solving decisions in electrical engineering and to implement these decisions

• identify, evaluate and manage risks within well-defined* engineering problems relevant to the field of electrical engineering

Mechanical Engineering strand graduates will also be able to: • apply engineering theory to practice working within well-defined*engineering problems relevant to their

specialist field of mechanical engineering • use their engineering knowledge to make informed problem solving decisions in mechanical engineering

and to implement these decisions • identify, evaluate and manage risks within well-defined* engineering problems relevant to their field of

mechanical engineering

*Well-defined engineering problems can be solved in standardised ways, are frequently encountered and hence familiar to most practitioners in the specialist area, have consequences that are locally important but not far-reaching and can be resolved using limited theoretical knowledge but normally require extensive practical knowledge.

Pathways Education: Graduates of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering will be able to study towards a technologist degree such as Bachelor of Engineering Technology, or a professional engineering qualification such as Bachelor of Engineering.

For those employed within the industry, the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering Practice [Ref: 1714] (NZDEP) builds upon the academic learning gained in the N ZDE, and can enable graduates to become a certified Engineering Technician and gain Associate Membership of the Institution of Professional Engineering of NZ (IPENZ) and/or apply to the Engineering Associate Registration Board to become a registered engineering associate.

Employment: Graduates of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering will be able to gain employment as engineering technicians in workplaces that have a technical/engineering basis relevant to their specialist engineering strand (mechanical, civil, electrical and electronics). For the civil engineering strand roles include working on roads, buildings and utilities; for the electrical engineering strand roles include working in power and building services infrastructure; for electronic engineering strand roles include working in telecommunications and electronics manufacturing; for the mechanical engineering strand roles include the design, manufacture and maintenance of tools, engines, machines and systems.

Programme Outline Common compulsory courses have to be taken in order to meet the requirements of the NZDE. The common compulsory courses are the same for all strands of the qualification. Strand compulsory courses have to be taken in order to meet the requirements of the NZDE (strand). There are different strand compulsories for each strand (civil, electrical or mechanical). Within some strands, there are specialisations which also have different compulsories. Electives are chosen from the relevant strand elective list. Electives need to have a coherent relationship with the strand subject. Electives can be chosen from outside of the strand, with the approval of the Head of School. In exceptional circumstances, an elective from outside the engineering discipline may be selected with the approval of the Programme Committee/Head of School but this will be limited to one 15 credit paper. To support the selection of courses, the following section provides structure diagrams that indicate which course are compulsory, and which are elective. These are guidelines only and providers may deliver differently to what is indicated in these structure diagrams.

Teaching and Learning Methods Delivery and learning methods should be consistent with the needs of the learner cohort to ensure that learners gain a practical understanding of the New Zealand engineering environment.

The NZDE produces graduates who can work in engineering based workplaces as technicians. Technicians deal with well-defined engineering problems and activities that are solved with limited theoretical knowledge but require extensive practical knowledge.

Teaching and Learning methods therefore need to include activities that are appropriate to the engineering discipline (strand), the relevant learning outcomes in each course and the resources of the delivering institution. These should enhance the extensive practical knowledge required by the graduates.

Typically this would be a blend of:

• Practical laboratory work • Group work • Computer simulation • Project Investigations • Web technologies • Lectures • Visiting guest lecturers • Tutorials • Videos • Formative assessments • On-line resources • Student Learning Systems

Teaching and learning strategies should include those that can foster professional attributes deemed to be important for a professional engineer in practice.

These include personal attributes such as having self-awareness and being able to regulate self; being decisive as is applicable to a professional engineer; and being committed to their endeavors (these align with Dublin Accord Attributes 6, 8. 9 and 12 – see Section 5). Interpersonal capabilities include being able to influence a team and have empathy for others (which align with Dublin Accord Attributes 6, 7, 9, 10, 11). Cognitive capabilities include being able to determine the appropriate strategy or action that is fit for purpose, but enabling flexibility as well as being responsive to needs. These align with Dublin Accord Attributes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 12.

The NZDE is a practical based qualification that aligns with the Dublin Accord. As such there is a requirement for assessment to be focused on the practical application of theoretical knowledge.

It is therefore expected that all courses will contain practical-based or applied assessment that contains well-defined engineering problems that can be solved in standardised ways using limited theoretical knowledge.

Practical-based or applied assessment will be assessed at a minimum weighting of a 20% of the summative

mark. Any course that is assessed with a final examination will have a weighting for that examination no more than 50% but no less than 40% of the final summative mark.

Within the 11 point assessment grade system, assessors are required to have a shared understanding of expected performance. Students who pass the courses therefore show that they have met the required proficiency in the course assessed, and students with higher grades show a greater understanding or capability in the material assessed. The required standard in each grading references or is derived from the learning outcomes in each course.

All learning outcomes and expected assessment guidance as well as contribution toward graduate attributes are outlined in the Course Descriptors.

Assessments The NZDE is a practical based qualification that aligns with the Dublin Accord. As such there is a requirement for assessment to be focused on the practical application of theoretical knowledge. It is therefore expected that all courses will contain practical-based or applied assessment that contains well-defined engineering problems that can be solved in standardised ways using limited theoretical knowledge. Practical-based or applied assessment will be assessed at a minimum weighting of a 20% of the summative mark. Any course that is assessed with a final examination will have a weighting for that examination no more than 50% but no less than 40% of the final summative mark. All courses contribute and progress the student towards the graduate outcomes and attributes even if attributes are not directly assessed within the course’s Learning Outcomes. Evidence of graduate outcomes will be assessed and collected from the two Level 6 compulsory courses Engineering Management and Engineering Project. The Project is a Capstone project which is required to have external industry feedback. Information on the assessment policies and procedures can be found in the Student Guide

Engineer Technician Attributes and Professional Competencies Engineering is an activity that meets the needs of people, economic development and provides services to society. It is the purposeful application of mathematics and natural sciences along with a body of engineering knowledge, technique and technology. The NZDE is recognised as being aligned with the Dublin Accord which provides mutual recognition of engineering technicians. Educational and professional accords enable mutual recognition of qualifications and registration and so have developed graduate attributes and professional competency profiles to guide programme design. Problem Solving

Engineering technicians are required to be able to solve well-defined engineering problems that cannot be resolved without extensive practical knowledge supported by theoretical knowledge.

These well-defined engineering problems may have some or all of the following characteristics: • Involves several issues, but with few conflicting constraints • Can be solved in standardised ways • Are frequently encountered and familiar to most practitioners in that practice area • Are encompassed by standards and/or documented codes of practice • Involve limited range of stakeholders with differing needs

• Are discrete components of engineering systems • Have consequences that are locally important and not far-reaching

Knowledge Profile The NZDE programme of study aligns with the Dublin Accord by providing a programme that:

• Is descriptive, formula based understanding of natural sciences applicable to the discipline or specialist area

• Has procedure mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics applicable to the discipline or specialist area

• Uses coherent procedure formulation of engineering fundamentals applicable to the discipline or specialist area

• Provides knowledge that supports engineering design that is based on the techniques and procedures of the practice area

• Enables codified practical engineering knowledge applicable to discipline and specialist area • Provide knowledge of issues and approaches in engineering technician practice: ethics,

financial, cultural, environmental and sustainability impacts. All courses within the NZDE work contribute towards the skills, knowledge and attributes of the NZDE qualification and the Engineering Technician as recognised by the International Engineering Accord.

Differentiating Characteristic Dublin Accord – NZDE Graduate 1. Engineering Knowledge Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science,

engineering fundamentals, within specialist discipline to wide practical procedures and practices

3. Design development of solutions Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural and societal and environmental considerations

4. Investigation Conduct investigations of well-defined problems, locate and search relevant codes and catalogues, conduct standard tests and measurements

5. Modern Tool Usage Apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools to well-defined engineering problems with an awareness of the limitations

6. Engineer and Society Demonstrate knowledge of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to engineering technician practice and solutions to well defined engineering problems

7. Environment and Sustainability Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of engineering technician work in the solution of well-defined engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts

8. Ethics Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of technical practice

9. Individual and Team work Function effectively as an individual, and as a team member in diverse technical teams

10.Communication Communicate effectively on well-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and society at large, by being able to comprehend the work of others, document their own work, and give and receive clear instructions

11.Project Management and Finance Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles, apply these to ones’ own work, as a member or leaders in a technical team and to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment

12.Lifelong Learning Recognise the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent updating in the context of specialised technical knowledge

Tips for success Keep in touch. If you think you are going to struggle with something or you feel you are struggling please ask for help as soon as possible. Do not leave it until you feel like your only option is to stop coming to class or withdraw from the course or programme. Your tutor wants you to succeed, so please don’t be afraid to talk to them we have lots of support options to help you succeed.

Attendance matters. History shows that the chance of passing a course is much higher if you come to all the timetabled classes.

Ask questions, there are no “dumb” questions. Rest assured there will be at least three other people in the class thinking “good question” when you ask it, but don’t wait for them to pluck up the courage, take the lead.
