Engineering Further Education (EFE)
Programme Overview
Support from BP has allowed the Academy to launch a
three-year programme called Engineering Further
Education (EFE) which supports teaching and learning
on engineering courses in general further education
colleges.
The overall aim of the programme is to
increase progression rates by supporting students to
remain committed to the subject and take the next
step on the path to a career in engineering, be it
on to higher level study within further education,
on to an apprenticeship scheme, on to employment as
technicians or on to degree level study.
The three
programme priorities are:
To better support
individual students in the transition into
engineering Further Education (FE)
The programme
achieves this through ementoring for Level 2 and
Level 3 engineering students and contextualised
maths support resources to support the learning of
mathematics at Level 3.
To help FE colleges in their
delivery of a more attractive and more engaging
engineering curricula
The programme supports FE
colleges through the development of contextualised
maths resources to support practitioners in the
delivery of mathematics to Level 3 engineering
students.
The programme also supports FE colleges by
using in-house expertise at the Academy to develop
and deliver free Continuing Professional Development
(CPD) sessions to engineering practitioners.
To
influence national policy on engineering FE
By
demonstrating interventions in engineering FE that
are proven to work through evaluation, the Academy
will work with the Engineering for Education (E4E)
policy group to see its interventions adopted by
Government and other large-scale funding
organisations.
