Providing Inspection Services for Department of Education Department for Employment and Learning Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure Evaluation of the Priority Skill at Level 3 in Electrical and Electronic Engineering December 2010 Rodney McMaster Education and Training Inspectorate

EVIDENCE BASE  68 Lessons observed across the colleges  Discussions with  College Senior Management Teams,  Curricular Team Leaders  Course Teams  Students  Meetings with Key Stakeholders including the ETC representing SEMTA and EU Skills  Review of relevant publications and reports

CONTEXT Professional and technical areas included in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering report:  Electronic engineering and manufacture  Telecommunications  Electricity generation and supply  Electrical installation and associated building services

EEE PSA FRAGMENTED Elements of electrical and electronic engineering fall under the remit of three sector skills councils  Summit Skills (building related services including electrical installation and renewable energies)  SEMTA (electrical equipment, electrical, electronic and telecommunication engineering)  Energy and Utility Skills (electricity supply and generation) In addition - Considerable overlap with e-Skills (software engineering)

THE ECONOMY AND SKILLS GAPS Statistics from the Sector Skills Councils’ reports (2007 – 2008 data)  9,500 employed in the electrical and electronics sector (27% of all engineering employment)  In addition, around 7560 in the electrical Trades and more than 2000 people in the electrical power sector  SEMTA report a turnover at £1,635 million and Gross Value £399 million (2007)  SEMTA forecast growth at -0.3%, but 1500 additional workers to replace leavers.  Main gap identified by employers is in relation to the introduction of new technologies or equipment, renewable energy, design and maintenance.  A particular need to attract females into the sector, as they are currently under-represented

OVERALL FINDINGS Overall Effectiveness of the Priority Skill of Electrical and Electronic Engineering across the sector  Outstanding in one college  Very good in one college  Good in three colleges  Satisfactory in one college

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT Quality of leadership and management is good or better in three colleges, and satisfactory in the remainder  Common weakness is fragmented curriculum planning across multiple departments  Three colleges have effective links and partnerships with local employers and schools  Limited evidence of economic engagement activity influencing or informing full-time curriculum planning in most colleges

STAFFING AND PHYSICAL RESOURCES  Almost all of the lecturers are well-qualified and experienced  Working relationships are effective in the majority of colleges  Five colleges have good or better specialist electrical and electronic engineering resources and equipment to support learning on at least one campus  Resources to support electronic engineering in one college are poor leading to an over reliance on computer simulation and a narrow range of practical activities  Best resources are concentrated on main campuses with limited access for the minority of students on other sites

QUALITY OF CURRICULUM Most colleges have a satisfactory range of courses  Gaps in provision exist, particularly in emerging technologies which cut across STEM disciplines  Majority of full-time programmes are well- designed and include a good balance of theory and practical work  A small number of courses are not well-matched to learner needs, have a poor selection of specialists units and limited time for practical work

QUALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING Quality of teaching and learning is good or better in the majority (71%) of sessions observed across the colleges  Appropriate reference made to industrial practice and effective use of ILT by students to enhance learning  A small number (6%) of sessions observed across the colleges were less than satisfactory  Weaknesses include  poor planning  limited range of teaching approaches  Few opportunities for students to actively engage in their learning.

QUALITY OF CARE, GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT CEIAG and work related learning are under- developed for full time students in a majority of the colleges  Most students have the opportunity to attend career events but only a minority get the chance to hear guest speakers or to visit relevant local companies on field trips  Few opportunities across the colleges for students to experience short placements in a relevant industry to develop work related learning or project work  Tutorial time is mainly used for catch-up rather than monitoring and supporting student’s progress and the setting of short term targets and individual planning

STANDARDS AND OUTCOMES  Most students demonstrated high levels of motivation and good or better standards of work across the colleges  Most students produce good project work but it often lacks an industry or work related focus  Achievement rates are  good for part-time courses across all of the colleges  mainly satisfactory for full-time provision  poor in a small number of full-time programmes  Rates of progression to employment or higher education are good across all of the colleges

ACTIONS REQUIRED TO BRING ABOUT IMPROVEMENT  Improve cross-college curriculum planning for electrical and electronic engineering in four colleges  Improve the quality of teaching and learning in a minority of the provision  Improve stretch and challenge in a small number of courses  facilitate cross-college collaboration, sharing of best practice and learning resources development  Implement strategies to improve achievement on full-time courses  Further develop CEIAG and work related learning provision for full time students  Review specialist staffing levels in two colleges  Review resource requirements for electronic engineering specialist and equipment in one college
