Skills Framework Levels
The purpose of this Skills Framework is to evidence your acquisition of important engineering skills. Thus, it combines a combination of technical and transferable skills in ten broad categories. It is designed so that the final portfolio can be used as a showcase of your skills attainment.
To reflect the differing levels of skills attainment, each of the skills in this framework can be demonstrated at three different levels:
Knowledge: Achieved when you follow instructions to demonstrate the skill.
Application: Achieved when you demonstrate the skill at request without instructions, and you have reflected on the skill’s success.
Synthesis: Achieved when you have demonstrated the skill without guidance or instruction for a specific project, justifying your choice of using the skill and you have reflected on the skill’s success.
Each skill will have specific requirements for the skill to be satisfactorily endorsed. In addition, there are
overarching requirements for all pages of your ePortfolio. If any page does not satisfy these requirements, the page will
not be considered in any further detail.
- The page comprises an introduction that summarises all the digital artefacts on the page.
- Every digital artefact must clearly show your username in such a way as to authenticate the intellectual ownership of the artefact.
- All the skills being claimed are arranged below a 'Skills Mapping' block at the bottom of the page, as per the template.
- The page is of sufficient quality to present to people external to the University.
- The page has fewer than 5 errors such as spelling mistakes or other typographical errors.
