Working with you to enhance the student experience
The Higher Education Academy (HEA) has funded a study to obtain and interpret data in order to review the discipline of ‘materials’ from a higher-education perspective. The study will focus on the experiences of students and graduates from materials and materials-related programmes at UK Universities, at both undergraduate and postgraduate (taught) levels. The UK Centre for Materials Education (UKCME) is conducting the review, and is one of three national HEA Subject Centres undertaking such a study in 2007.
We believe there are many potential benefits of this study, for a wide variety of stakeholders. For instance, by identifying and sharing successful approaches, it will provide a valuable resource for the organisation and delivery of materials teaching. It will provide hard evidence for departments to use in dialogue with industry, and will help the IoM3 in presenting the discipline to the public, government and industry.
The identity of participants who contribute information will be protected and will not be disclosed. Any information you provide, when included in the final report, will be discussed in general terms, and will not be linked to any individual or individual institution.
Please take time to fill in the questionnaire - your opinion is valued.
