  14. Introduction to Course • Website • For first visit it is easier to open David Palin’s home page. • data.bolton.ac.uk/staff/djp1 • Then follow quick link to “BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering Main Page” • Then bookmark and re-visit on a regular basis

  15. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Professional Body Accreditation • The course is accredited by • The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) • The Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) • The Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) • The Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) • You should join both as a student member • Via website @ http://data.bolton.ac.uk/staff/djp1/BEngCivil.html

  16. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Professional Qualifications • Degree + Experience (2 or 3 years) means you can apply for the Incorporated Engineer assessment/examination • Degree + Further Learning* + Experience (2 or 3 years) means you can apply for the Chartered Engineer assessment/examination • * (i.e. an accredited “non-technical” MSc)

  17. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Assessment and Progression • Pass mark is 40% (35% in a component may be accepted). • You should pass all subjects at a Level before starting the next. • Decisions are made at Exam Boards.

  18. Assessment and Progression • Near-misses may be allowed a REFER, a second attempt at the work with a capped mark. • More serious failures may result in • RE-TAKE. Do the module again without attendance, mark capped. • REPEAT Do the module again with attendance, mark capped. • Only THREE attempts are allowed • Re-assessments have a capped Mark of 40% • Again, decisions are made at Exam Boards. These decisions are PROVISIONAL until final board which is held in June.

  19. Assessment and Progression Marks for Late Assignments are reduced using a standard tariff. Up to 5 calendar days late: 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment. Up to 10 calendar days late: 20 marks to be subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment. More than 10 calendar days late: 0 mark to be awarded

  20. Assignment Submission Please use the correct cover sheets. Please hand in coursework to Room B1-11b It is your responsibility to ensure that the assignment is submitted to the marking tutor. No responsibility will be taken for assignments left with colleagues, given to friends to hand in, left on desks or slid under staff room doors. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ENSURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED BY WHATEVER METHOD.

  21. Assessment and Progression • Statements of Mitigating Circumstancesmust be submitted in writing within 5 days of the assessment. • May lead to a DEFER decision, a re-sit without mark cap.

  22. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering Award Class Determined using the “ACM20” calculation "A weighted average of the marks from modules worth a total of 200 credits at Levels 2 and 3 combined, including the marks from modules worth no more than 80 credits at least at Level 2 (weighted 30 percent) and marks from modules worth at least 120 credits at Level 3 (weighted 70 percent), which represent the best marks achieved by a student at those Levels."

  23. Course Committee Meetings: Student Representation There is a Course Committee meeting each Trimester; see Academic Calendar. Two Student Representatives from each year i.e. One Full-Time One Part-Time Representatives are nominated & elected by cohort

  24. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Advice and Support: • Personal Tutor • David Palin (DJP), Course Leader and Tutor • Room G2-06 • djp1@bolton.ac.uk • (01204) 903423 • keep me informed about sickness or other absences, or changes in address/employer. • Student Liaison Officer – Debra Elliott • Student Centre, in The Mall • Student Union

  25. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Course Notice Board: Upstairs in G-Block • Advice: Administration • Student Programme Office: Room B1-11b • THIS IS WHERE YOU HAND IN YOUR COURSEWORK

  26. The Student Portal • Each student has web access to their own personal information via the Student Portal. This includes: • Student Record (i.e. Results transcripts etc) • Change Password • Username Lookup • Exam Timetables • Timetable

  27. The Student Portal is accessed from the University main page thus: Go to www.bolton.ac.uk then select (located in top right-hand corner)

  28. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • Want more resources? • ·Ask the Teaching Staff. • ·Ask the Library Staff (Steve Crimes) • ·Make friends with the Technicians. • ·Build your own list of favourite web-sites. • ·Build your own technical library. • ·Join the ICE, IStructE, IHE or CIHT • ·Organise something (eg site visit, works visit)

  29. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • General advice: Read New Civil Engineer each week. Buy a textbook for each subject (but not yet). If you are already employed in the construction industry, keep a comprehensive diary! If you want something, ask for it. Enjoy the course.

  30. Finding the Course Too Difficult? • Year 1 entrants may transfer to the Foundation Year • Year 2 entrants may transfer to Year 1 • You must transfer BEFORE the 2nd week of attendance, otherwise wait until next Session. • After 2 weeks of attendance, students are officially registered on a module. At this point, there is no going back!

  31. Avoid Plagiarism! • The rules are very SIMPLE! • Treat the completion of coursework as if you were doing it under examination conditions i.e. No help from anyone! • The source of ANY information used in the completion/support of a piece of coursework should be referenced. • Do not help others with the completion of their coursework. • The university has a policy to deal with any detected use of unfair means. • If detected, the maximum penalty is expulsion from the course.

  32. BEng(Hons) Civil Engineering • You should have from me • Course Handbook which includes • Course Calendar for 2012-13 • Please do not book holidays during term time! • Copy of Signed Module Choice Form • I should have from you • Signed Module Choice Form • Completed Part-Time Student Details Form • Completed Module Exemption Form
