- 19. Graduate case study Andrew Dodd - MEng Electronic & Electrical Engineering Graduate Engineer at HORIBA NIRA in Nuneaton “I completed my Year in Industry at Mercedes and found this year extremely valuable. It made me more organised and as a result, more professional when returning to University.”
- 20. Graduate case study Kermit Sibindi - MEng Electronics with Computer Science General Electric’s Aviation Graduate Scheme “I completed a Year in Industry at GE Aviation and it was extremely valuable. I was offered a graduate role; it was professionally accredited and gave me a fantastic experience. If I was to give students some advice, it would be to make sure you take every opportunity to network with companies. Swansea University put these on and they are really worthwhile!

Notes de l'éditeur
- I explain that the research done, including previous examples which are just a snapshot of some of our work, has projected us to be a Top 10 UK engineering College. Research environment for engineering is ranked 2nd in the UK – beaten only by Cambridge University. I joke here that they’re a not-bad university. Emphasise that we are outperforming the likes of Oxford, Imperial College and Russell Group universities such as Sheffield, Exeter and Nottingham. I explicitly mention these. If you’re presenting in a market that is predominantly PG focused I’d sing and dance about this, it’s critically important for PG and research students. Research environment assessment criteria includes: research strategy, staff strategy and support, research students and outcomes, income, infrastructure, facilities, collaboration and contribution to the discipline.
- This is where I explain that the focus and rhetoric of the University is becoming more and more student-centred.
- Student experience and quality of teaching & learning is very important to us in the College. So much so that we have a group of approx 20 members of academic staff who, as well as their respective engineering research and work, research and investigate the best ways to teach engineering.
- Student welfare and wellbeing is also critically important to us, that students have a great experience and are able to fully commit and focus on getting a good degree whilst making the most of their university experience. Most universities have a personal tutor system, where one of your lecturers is assigned as your personal tutor and you’d meet with them every few weeks to cover all things including personal, welfare and wellbeing points. We used to have this structure at Swansea, but based on feedback from students, and to make sure the people with the right skill sets and expertise are dealing with the right sorts of points, we changed to have academic staff as academic mentors who deal with *as above*, a dedicated College student information team who manage *as above*, and trained specialist staff and teams in MyUniHub to manage *as above*
- On top: Year-2 students 2-3 days trip to Gregynog, where the “micro-mouse” module is assessed in addition to sports, games, etc. On bottom: Year-3 trip to Germany to visit Rohde & Schwarz manufacturing site. (both trips are free).
- Key theme that I emphasise is that our pathways can be flexible. Students can enter onto Foundation Year and end up with a MEng. Students can transfer from BEng and onto MEng after Year 2 (with a 55% grade average from years 1 and 2). Students can transfer the other way from MEng to BEng. A Year in Industry or Year Abroad can be added on if selected by mid-Year 2 (and a 55% grade average achieved), and completed between year 2 and 3 (or year 3 and 4 if doing an MEng).

- Getting a good job and career is the main driver of everything we do as a part of our degrees. As well as the University’s employability academy, we have a College of Engineering employability team (organise guest industry speakers, industry mentor programme, careers fairs and skills day, organise and manage Year in Industry, advertise and promote placement and job opportunities), and each course has an Employability Champion (for example, Dr Grazia Toddeschini helps the EE Engineering student with the skills and work to be done to get EE Engineering jobs, she’s an expert in that field and has lots of industry links to help students)
