5 Health, safety and welfare
The Zambia Health and Safety at Work Act makes it the responsibility of eachindividual to prevent harm taking place to themselves and to others within a work
place. In other words, everyone is liable for each others health and safety and can
be prosecuted for causing injury or harm, not only to others but also to themselves.
Students are expected to adhere to the requirements of the Health and Safety at
Work Act at all time when they are performing tasks and are present within
University laboratories or workshops. They are required to wear appropriate safety
clothing and use all necessary protective equipment when performing tasks.
5.1 Use of Computers
General guidance on the safe use of computers will be given to you as
appropriate at induction and you should at all times follow this guidance. In
particular you must:
Not use the computers for longer than 90 minutes at a time without a15 minute complete break from the screen;
You should preferably plan your work to enable you to have shortersessions such as 30 minutes followed by 5 minutes of change or 60minutes followed by 10 minutes of change;
You should plan your work so that you do not use the computer when
your eye sight is strained. Always have a break.
5.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
( )

The School will provide adequate supplies of disposable gloves, ear
plugs, safety glasses / goggles, Hi Vis waistcoats and safety helmets
(for the large scale laboratory) in addition to suitable forms of sanitisingspray (or similar) for the glasses / goggles and helmets. Again, staff will
enforce the appropriate safety PPE for the workshop being used.
Notices will be displayed outside each affected area indicating the
minimum PPE to be worn within that area.
5.3 Student Welfare
If you have something on your mind that is worrying you or causing you
concern it is often better to talk to someone about it. You may choose to talk
to a friend, a relation, the Student s Union Representative or a member of
staff - one of your lecturers or tutors. However, if you feel the need to speak
to someone who is not involved in your personal life or academic work, you
can arrange to see an experienced University Counsellor located in the Dean
of Student s Office.
The University Chaplains and Pastoral Assistance are also available to offerpastoral support to all students. Details of their drop-ins sessions and contactsmay be obtained from the Student Union Offices or from the Dean of StudentOffice.
6.0 Programme committee and student representation
For the programme, formal discussions and liaison with associated parties are
done through the Programme Committee that is answerable to the Departmental
Board and then the School Board of Studies This committee comprises the

Programme Committee is also an important forum at which elected
Student Representatives can speak on behalf of their peers. Student
representatives are requested to convene student meetings where issuesfor the Programme Committee meetings can be raised and discussed. All
Student class representatives receive some training from the Dean of
Students.
7.0 Teaching and Learning
7.1 Teaching and Learning Methods
A variety of teaching and learning methods are employed throughout theprogramme in order to ensure the acquisition and development ofappropriate concepts, knowledge and skills. Some of these you willexperience during formally timetabled classes with a Course tutor. Othersyou may adopt personally to facilitate your own learning.
It is important to realise that the time spent with a tutor during formallytimetabled classes is only a small part of the learning time identified for acourse. In addition to the contact time with lecturers, a significant amount ofpersonal study should be undertaken. This personal study time should bespent, for example, engaging in general background reading, preparing forseminar activities, working on assignments or revising for examinations.Early in your studies guidance will be provided as to how you can make bestuse of this time. As you progress through your programme however, this
guidance will become less structured and prescriptive.
The methods described below are the ones most commonly employed bytutors during your time in the classroom However individual course tutors

Seminars: Seminars involve groups of students who meet with a tutor to
discuss further reading, issues and problems arising from lecture material, orto undertake case studies or problem-solving exercises. It is common for
further reading on a particular topic to be assigned, and one student may berequired to present an oral synopsis to provide a basis for discussion.Seminars play an important part in encouraging students to think criticallyabout the subject, to analyse theory and information in a systematic fashion,and to enhance understanding of conceptual issues.
Workshops: Workshops are also employed in some modules and may
involve the development of skills, e.g. research methods, the application of
statistics, presentations etc, as well as problem solving through theevaluation of case-study material. Workshop sessions are also an importantelement of the preparation for the work placementperiod.General assistancewith assignment work may be offered in workshops, and they play animportant part in increasing students confidence in dealing with the subjectmatter.
Tutorials: These are usually individually based but may be shared with
students who are studying a similar area/issue. Students should prepare fortutorials, which are usually associated with an assignment, by bringing anyplans for discussion.
Informal Group Study Sessions:Students are encouraged to hold informal
group sessions in locations that are conducive. Study rooms found aroundthe Campus can also be booked for meetings and/or presentation practice.
Private Study:In addition to class contact time, you are expected to engage

Engage fully in activities, even if at first sight they do not seem particularlyrelevant. Often the significance is not apparent at the outset, and can onlyemerge if the group approaches the activities positively.
Reflect upon your experiences on the programme, identifying your owncontribution and those of others. Keep a log book/reflective journal in whichyou can record your reflections, even if your programme does not require youto.
You will often be exposed to views and ideas that challenge your own. Weask that you respect the views of others and be prepared to listen to them,consider them, and analyse them objectively.
Avoid racist, sexist or ageist remarks and other offensive language orbehaviour.
As a secular institution the University expects its students and staff to displaytolerance and respect toward each other regardless of their religious beliefsincluding those who have no religious beliefs.
7.3 Study skills, communication skills and use of English
If you have not recently undertaken academic work of the type required byyour programme, your study could be a particular challenge for you.Depending on your subject specialism, you might be unfamiliar with thedemands of writing extended essays or discursive dissertations. You willreceive study skills support throughout the programme from your tutors asyou develop and as you undertake activities. An Open University set book(Northedge, 2005) is very readable and helpful. The library is also availableto help you.
The library gives advice on Study Skills on basic writing skills, essay writing,report writing, presentation skills, study skills and preparing a dissertation.

Essay: For a number of courses, students will be required to produce a
coursework essay or essays. Essays assess understanding of the thrust ofthe question set, whether you have introduced and appreciate the relevance
of appropriate material to the topic in hand and understand its implications,whether you can analyse and evaluate information and whether you cancommunicate your ideas clearly. Coursework essays are typically set toassess the learning outcomes related to understanding key concepts,demonstrating critical evaluations, and demonstrating the capacity to thinkindependently. The required length of coursework essays can varydepending upon the purpose of the assignment for which the work isassessed. You will be given guidance by the lecturing staff on any specific
requirements.
Reports:A number of courses require the student to write reports, which are
sometimes based on a given case-study. These reports identify publishedbackground research and rationale for their study, the way in which the studywas carried out, and the results and analysis of information. Usually, astandard format is used to aid clear, precise and unambiguous expression.Students are given explicit guidance on the format required for the report.
Presentations:Students are required to make oral presentations (e.g. from
notes or from an essay, using presentational aids where appropriate) in anumber of courses. Some courses may specify such a presentation as partof their assessment, whilst seminar presentations in other courses may notbe part of the formal assessment.
Project Work: Many courses make use of project work for assessment.Project work may be undertaken by individuals or groups of students workingtogether. Project briefs may be set by the tutor, an external company or bystudents themselves, depending on the requirements of the course. Liveproject work is a key feature of this programme, with some project briefsb i t b t l i dd i l lif bl d i

7.6.3 Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission ofAssignments
Assignments should be word-processed in Arial 12 point font, bedouble-spaced, on A4 size paper. Writing should be fully justifiedand with each page being numbered in the footer, numbering tobe centred.
There should be a title page detailing the programme, coursetitle, assignment title, student number, marking tutor and date ofsubmission. Do not put your name on the assignment. It is
good practice to put your student number in the top left hand sideof the header of each page, and the date of submission in the topright. Blind marking is fairer.
The word count for any piece of work can vary according to thenature of the assignment. The course tutor will give specific upperand lower limits for the word count.
All written work must be referenced using the Harvard System,full details of which are available from the Library in the MinglingCentre.
Unless otherwise notified by your course tutor, hard copies ofassignments should be placed with a white general cover sheet,in the Assignment Post-box next to the Head of DepartmentOffice.
Please note that all assignments are date stamped by the Head ofDepartment Office once they have been taken out of the post-box. It isthis date stamp which is taken into account (rather than the date stamp

Penalties for late submission of coursework are:
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 lowerthan the pass mark for the assignment.
Up to 10 calendar days late: 20 marks subtracted but if the assignmentwould normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lowerthan the pass mark for the assignment.
More than 10 calendar days late: 0 marks awarded.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the assignment is submitted to themarking tutor. No responsibility will be taken for assignments left withcolleagues, given to friends to hand in, left on desks or slid under staffroom doors.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ENSURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF ANYASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED BY WHATEVER METHOD
7.6.4 Procedures for Examinations
Examinations are normally held during the final week of the academicyear (Please consult the academic calendar). Resit/Deferredexaminations are normally held at a chosen time (Please consult yourCourse Tutor). Examination timetables are posted on the UniversityWeb pages and on notice boards well in advance of the exam period.
It is your responsibility to note the dates of any examination,phase tests, including resit/deferred examinations and ensure that

7.7 Mitigating Circumstances for Poor Performance in StudentAssessment
Sometimes circumstanceshappen outside your control that may affect yourperformance or your ability to submit assessments or sit examinations. It isimportant that you read the procedures for submitting requests forconsideration of mitigating circumstances.
7.8 Moderation of Marks
There is a robust system of moderation in place for ensuring the quality andconsistency of marking both within courses and between them. For eachassignment submitted the identified marking tutor first marks the scripts. Asample equating to approximately the square root of the coursee cohort (e.g.
5 scripts selected from a cohort of 25 students) is selected, representative ofthe range of marks awarded. A second tutor then marks this sample. The twosets of marks are then compared and, if in close agreement, a finalmoderated mark determined. If the two sets of marks are significantlydifferent then further action is agreed which may require the whole cohort ofscripts being remarked.
A similar sample of assignment scripts is made available to the external
examiner for further moderation. In most cases this sample would be thesame as that which had been internally moderated. However, where time islimited internal and external moderation may have to occur in tandem. In thiscase, two samples would be selected, one for internal moderation and one

assignment. The referral assignment may be different from the original,failed assignment.
7.10 Referencing
In any coursework assessment it is essential you clarify your sources ofinformation in the appropriate manner.
It is important that you cite sources throughout the main body of text whetheror not they are directly quoted.At the end of the assignment, you should
then provide a complete reference list of all materials referred to in the text.
Your reference list should only refer to sources explicitly referred to in thetext. Harvard Style is usually preferred in referencing.
Your Personal Tutor and/or Course Tutors will be happy to provideclarification and explanation. It is your responsibility to ensure that allreferences used in the text of your coursework are properly referenced andacknowledged.
7.11 Use of Unfair Means
The University has a responsibility to ensure that the standards of its awardsare maintained and that its qualifications are not achieved through the use ofunfair means. The regulations on the Use of Unfair Means in Assessmentcover not only students who deliberately set out to cheat, e.g. by takingunauthorised material into exams, but also those who do not follow normalacademic rules, e.g. by acknowledging the ideas of others through properreferencing.
Unfair means includes plagiarism (giving the impression that you have
written or thought something when you have borrowed it from someonel ) ll i ( ki ll b ti l ith th t d t d th

7.12 The meaning of deferand referin assessment board decisions
Assessment Boards will often use these words to describe the outcome of a
student who has not passed a course, but who is not yet being preventedfrom having further attempts. In outline:
A refer (or referral ) means one further and final attempt will be
given, to be submitted by the deadline for the next Assessment Board(or, exceptionally, by whatever other date the board specifies). Thereferred assessment component(s) will be capped at 40% butcomponents that have passed will be unaffected.
A defer (or deferral) means the student can submit by the deadline
for the next Assessment Board (or by whatever date the boardspecifies) without penalty, as if for the first time. Usually this is becausethey have had mitigating circumstancesaccepted.
A re-deferis used to denote the extension of a defer period, usually
because a student s mitigating circumstances have demonstrated (byevidence as necessary) to the Mitigating CircumstancesRecommendation Committee s satisfaction, to be ongoing.
A re-refer is used to denote the extension of a refer period, usually
because a student s mitigating circumstances have demonstrated (bynew, contemporary evidence as necessary) to the Mitigating
Circumstances Recommendation Committee s satisfaction, to beongoing.
7.13 The meaning of Retakeand Repeatin assessment boarddecisions
Retake
means retake all of the course s assessment, including those partsthat you have passed, by a date that will be specified. The maximum mark
you can get on all these items is then 40% i.e. all the marks are capped at40%. However, you do not have to re-attend the course s classes. The retake

the decision of an Assessment Board about the use of unfair means or theconsequent academic action is unreasonably severe.
The grounds do not include questioning the academic judgment of anAssessment Board.
You can request a review of an Assessment Board decision by writing to theSecretary to the Senate (in the Quality Assurance and Enhancement Unit),giving reasons and including supporting evidence within 14 days ofpublication of the Assessment Board s decision.
If you would like advice on the Appeals procedure you may wish to contactyour Student Liaison Officer or the Students Union. The Students Union issituated in the Mingling Centre.
7.15 Learning Resources
There are a variety of learning resources available to you, some of which may
be accessed without restriction; others require technician, tutor or specialtraining support. Computing facilities may be accessed throughout the
University for general computing purposes. Specialist engineering software
may only be available in certain areas or rooms. Generally, it is not necessary
for you to provide your own computing hardware or specialist software.
However, it may be beneficial to you to have your own computing facilities,
equipped with the usual basic office software, as this will assist you in
completing coursework and reports when away from the university. It is notnecessary to buy special engineering software such as CAD, analysis, control
or mathematical packages. The programme and the facilities are so arranged
that all work and studies can be completed using university equipment

conducting Level 4 to Level 5 Projects.
8Careers, professional body membership and employability
opportunities
8.1 Personal Development Planning and Professional Skills
The kinds of jobs that most graduates want to enter require a range of
qualities and skills that take time, support and good planning to develop.These include people skills, problem solving, project work and self-management. Such skills cannot be suddenly acquired in isolation or at thelast minute. In the past, many graduates felt disappointed that they had notbeen better prepared for work when they left university. It has now beenrecognised that students need structured opportunities to think about andplan towards their future.
Personal Development Planning is
A structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to reflectupon their own learning, performance and/or achievement and to plan for

more aware of how to learn
more aware of how to improve personal performance
better able to cope with the transition to your chosen career
When undertaken in supported and structured ways, PDP gives you a muchdeeper understanding of the learning process and your own learning. Youdevelop the ability to evaluate your own performance, rather than beingreliant upon the views of others. PDP puts you in charge.
The advantages of taking a personal development approach to your learningare:
a clearer focus to your learning;
more control over your personal motivation and the ability todirect this to achieve your goals;
developing essential skills in self-management;
greater independence and confidence about yourself as alearner;
more enjoyment and less stress from your learning as you
become more consciously skilled; more awareness of how to apply your learning to new
problems and contexts;
reflective, strategic, analytical and creative thinking skills thatstrengthen academic performance.
Continuous professional development is expected within many professions.It is now quite usual for employers to ask candidates at job interviews and
appraisals, about the steps they have taken to identify and address their owndevelopment needs.
The benefits of a PDP approach to your professional life include:

activities and opportunities being embedded into your Programme curriculumat every stage/level.
Throughout your programme you will be encouraged to reflect on thedevelopment of your academic and professional skills, and makerecommendations for self-improvement as a result of this. This ability toappraise your performance and set targets will be developed throughout theprogramme in all of the modules and specifically in the Project Module.
The programme offered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering aims at
preparing students for a career in an engineering profession. A graduate
should be able to put scientific and technical knowledge to practical use inindustry, academia or in service institutions.
It is the intention of the Copperbelt University to have some form of
professional accreditation of all programmes and therefore the programme
team delivering this programme will be seeking professional accreditation with
the EIZ at the earliest opportunity. The aims and learning outcomes for the
programme are those adopted from EIZ accreditation criteria.
8.2 Professional Body or Professional/Subject Association
Accreditation
Regardless of accreditation status, you will be encouraged to become a
student member of the EIZ. This will allow you to take part in local
Institution activities e.g. attending technical meetings and seminars,student competitions and other social events.
The benefits of becoming an active member are numerous:
http://www.pdfcomplete.com/cms/hppl/tabid/108/Default.aspx?r=q8b3uige22http://www.pdfcomplete.com/cms/hppl/tabid/108/Default.aspx?r=q8b3uige22http://www.pdfcomplete.com/cms/hppl/tabid/108/Default.aspx?r=q8b3uige22 -

8.3 Opportunities to Enhance Employability
As stated above, you are encouraged to become a student member of the
EIZ as this will enhance your employment prospects and help selfpromotion when applying for a position in industry. Once employed inindustry you will be able to upgrade your membership and, given furtherstudy or professional training, you would be in a position to become anengineer with Chartered/Registered status, commanding credibility andrespect among your peers.
This programme also allows you to establish a Personal Development
Plan (PDP) which can be extended and adapted to an industrial PDPwithin your profession and chosen company. This will enable you tomaintain a log of development, reflect on progress and assess futurerequirements for career development.
During your studies, you may also compete in regional or national
competitions against other students from other universities; these are
important for your development and give you an insight into the challenges
of the day, current technology, problem solution processes and allowliaison with other student cohorts and attitudes.
The work of professional bodies is also important to industry. They
develop and monitor standards within the industry. They also work with
the government of the day to develop a whole host of issues ranging from
technical standards such as Building Regulations through to issues related
to health & safety and the sustainability agenda. They are also the voice of
industry and work hard to ensure that the industry s interests are
considered at a national level. The professional bodies also undertake
research Accreditation activities are also performed in relation to

Interviews or informal discussions may be used for Part Time entry students to assess
suitability or entry point onto the programme.
Include English Language requirements for international students specified as a minimum
IELTS score of 6.0 (or equivalent).
The first year of the programme will be in the School of Mathematics & Natural Sciences and
the four remaining years of the programme will be in the School of Engineering for Direct
Entry Route. For the 2+3 Entry Route students will register with the School of Engineering at
Level 1 until Level 5. This may have some common threads to Departments offering BEng
(Hons) Mechanical Engineering, BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering, BEng(Hons) Construction
and not forgetting programmes like BEng (Hons) Aeronautical and BEng (Hons)
Mechatronics; hence, given exceptional academic performance at Level 2 and into Level 3,
students may have the opportunity to be counselled for transfer to the Diploma qualification.
If the Diploma is with exceptional grades or good credits, students will be given a chance to
enter the BEng (Hons) route at Level 3 mode of study. Thereafter, students are offered
another option of carrying on to MEng (Masters in Engineering) at Level 6 for an extra 12
months (Consult Masters Programme Handbook The entry qualification will be BEng(Hons) First, Two-one and Two-Two Classes).

Learning and teaching strategies
The diverse nature of this engineering programme necessitates the use of a variety of
teaching and learning methods in order to ensure the acquisition and development of
appropriate concepts, knowledge and skills. Many of these methods will be experienced
during formal timetabled classes. Other methods, which are also demanded by professional
body accreditation requirements, will be experienced through opportunities to develop
creativity and innovative skills. This is predominantly achieved through open-ended project
and design, make and test activity, where application, assimilation and integration of course
material are realised. As projects, design activity and assimilation is extremely important and
time dependent, all final year project courses on Honours Programmes are 48 credit value
and run over three terms. Also, as you progress through the programme, your studies will
become less structured and more open-ended in nature.

Assessment strategy
The assessment strategy for the programme is designed to ensure that the overall aims and
learning outcomes of the programme are assessed and achieved. To accomplish this, a
range of assessment methods are used and are applied depending upon the learning
outcome in question and the type of course content being assessed. Assessment and
feedback may be Formative or Summative.
In line with the Copperbelt University Curriculum Framework, Summative Assessment (that
leading to assignment/project mark, course grade and hence to overall performanceclassification) constitutes a maximum of two pieces of assessed work per 24 credit course.
You must achieve a pass in all elements of assessment for each course. Summative
