Setting the paper
- Questions should aim to examine the current year's work. This may encompass not only material in the specifications for taught modules, but also generic topics covered in other elements of the course such as project work and industrial visits.
- The first checker for each question will be nominated by the Board of Examiners, the second checker will normally be the Examiner, or, when questions are provided by the Examiner, another Lecturer.
Further information about the assessed elements
- Two written papers will be set. Each will normally comprise six questions and candidates will be required to attempt four:
Paper 1 will consist mainly of questions on technological aspects of Manufacturing Engineering.
Paper 2 will consist mainly of questions on managerial aspects of Manufacturing Engineering.
Credit will be given for answers which draw on relevant knowledge gained from experiential aspects of the course such as projects and industrial visits.
- The assessment of the Robot Lab takes account of team-working, together with an individually assessed component. The exact criteria and mode of assessment will be notified to the students at the start of the project.
- Group industrial projects are assessed according to criteria published in the MET IIB Handbook. Project marks are subject to normalisation by the Project Coordinator in discussion with the Chair of Examiners and the Course Director.
- The individual Long Project is assessed according to criteria published in the MET IIB Handbook. The report is marked independently by the Academic Supervisor and an internal Assessor. Any discrepancies in marks awarded are discussed and a single mark agreed. Where the discrepancies are more than 10 marks, or there is a failure to agree a mark, the Project Coordinator is consulted. The Chair of Examiners and the Course Director may also be consulted.
- Also see the project, coursework & exam credit notice for Part IIB MET.
Prizes
The Morcom Lunt Prize and the Institution of Engineering and Technology Manufacturing Engineering Student Prize should be awarded, at the discretion of the Examiners, to the most outstanding student in MET IIB, taking into account both examination and project performance.
The Prize for the best performance in projects should normally be awarded to the candidate with the highest aggregate mark in coursework (industrial assignments and robot lab).
