work, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in specialist
technologies.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology are internationally employable in one of the pathways of
Engineering practice. Graduates may also follow a number of paths in research and development, technical
support and application, education and communication, sales, quality and general management, or technocratic
roles in local authorities and government. They will be employed for their ability to assess, select and apply
generic and specific engineering technology in their practice area, and for ability to work in multidisciplinary
teams.
Graduates from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology could progress to a four year Bachelor of Engineering
(BE) or other relevant level 7 qualifications such as graduate diplomas, and to post graduate study in Engineering
and related areas.Programme Outline

The programme is offered using mixed modes of delivery as follows:
• Face-to-face delivery:
This may occur on campus in lecture theatre or classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated environment,
or may involve visits to industry based environments where appropriate.
• Industry Practicum:
The programme may include integrated industry learning experiences.
• Flexible ‘blended’ delivery:
This may include on-site component as well as block courses, drop in sessions, distance delivery supported
by a range of current technologies.
Integrated Practical, Field-based and Industry-based Components
Learning Activities Developing Applied Practice
A Project Based Learning (PBL) approach will enable graduates to be work–ready through the use of real world
examples that require a problem solving approach. The programme will include learning activities designed to
replicate the ongoing professional career development of an engineering technologist through application of
knowledge to authentic tasks. This aligns with the IPENZ specification for the initial education of an engineering
technologist and will be applied as appropriate across all courses. Activities will include interactions with IPENZ
practising engineering professionals, industry and other agencies employing engineering technology professionals.
PBL will be scaffolded throughout the three years of the degree culminating in the compulsory Level 7 course
Engineering Development Project. The assessment activity for this course is a research and/or design project
requiring the learner to integrate theory with practical application using problem solving skills in an engineering
technology and industry environment. The learner may interact with members of staff in an industry environment in
the role of client, supervisor and advisor. They will also be supported by an academic staff member in the role of
academic advisor. This integration of academic content with the industry environment ensures graduates have the
capacity to enter employed industry practice and begin the ongoing process of applying and extending their skills
and knowledge leading to professional competency.
Assessments
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology assesses learning using an achievement-based methodology.
The programme includes a variety of assessments to test engineering technology knowledge and application as
follows:
• The programme will use a variety of assessment activities to generate an indication of the developing
attributes of the engineering technology graduate. These will include “realworld” activities such as analysis
of a case study, review of an article, production of a laboratory report, keeping a journal, preparing a
portfolio, completing a project, reflections on practice, and many others. The Level 7 course Engineering
Development Project has much of the assessment using close links with industry.
• Formal open book examination when the intention is to assess applied engineering technology knowledge.
Students may be given the nature of the assessment activity in advance of the examination and the
opportunity to select the appropriate “engineering technology knowledge tools” to bring to an examination
room.
• Formal closed book examination when the main intention is to assess engineering technology knowledge.
The programme recognises the value of formal examinations as a means of determining individual student
learning.
Information on the assessment policies and procedures can be found in the Student Guide
Progress through Programme
To complete the programme takes 3 years of full time study. It may also be studied part-time. The maximum
number of years for completion will be ten (10) years from the date of first enrolment with any provider.
Learner progression must comply with the pre- and co-requisites for each course.Timetable

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.
What You Need
