ABSTRACT

This resource pack covers the six units that make up the GCE in Engineering programme. One section is devoted to each of the mandatory units and each begins with a brief introduction to the unit before going on to explain what students should learn. Detailed information is then given relating to assessment and grading. It is important to note that copies of current assessment materials (such as test specifications and supporting resources) must be obtained from Edexcel. A sample teaching scheme is included for each unit together with information on the resources required to successfully deliver the unit. However, it is worth noting that many other schemes are possible and tutors should consider their own context and pattern of teaching before modifying or extending these schemes to their own situation. A selection of masters for use as the basis for handouts and/or overhead projector transparencies is provided. Samples of external assessments are also included as well guidance and solutions relating to the activities provided in the course book. These materials are produced as a guide and, once again, tutors should consider the applicability of these materials before incorporating them into their own teaching programmes.
