Engagement of academic staff with UK-SPEC

This case study has been developed as part of the Engineering Subject Centre Teaching Awards 2010, from data gathered through interviews with the tutor and departmental colleagues. Motivated by a forthcoming accreditation visit, Jane Horner, Departmental Teaching Co-ordinator in the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering at Loughborough University, introduced a series of structured departmental meetings to develop the module mappings to the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) and in turn encourage colleagues to review module content.
