2006-7 Ug Handbook Years1234

WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE
& MARINE ENGINEERING

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the Department for Session 2006/07. For most of you this
will be the first time you will have studied in higher education and, as such, a new experience. As students
of two universities, Glasgow and Strathclyde, you have particular privileges and opportunities. The staff
and your fellow students will, I am sure, make your stay both enriching and enjoyable. How much you will
get out of the degree course depends very much on you. You have made the decisions and taken the
initiative, but you can be assured that we will always be available to give you our advice and support.
This handbook has been prepared for your benefit and I would recommend that you read it carefully as it
will provide useful information particularly in your early days as a student. It concentrates on specific
details of the Department facilities, services, staff, degree curricula and regulations. Module descriptions,
including the syllabus and methods of assessment, will be given by individual lecturers; this information is
also available on the Departments website. More general information about the Faculty of Engineering and
the University is given in the appendices.
The teaching of Naval Architecture in the City of Glasgow began in 1882 and over the years it has gained an
international reputation for the quality of its courses. In education our goal is to produce graduates who
have a balance of Competence, Confidence and Communication Skills the 3C education approach. This
means that you will not only acquire knowledge but also develop the skills that will be useful through your
career. Typical examples include the ability to understand fundamental principles, communicate well,
develop ideas, formulate different options and organise time effectively. We will be using different
teaching and assessment methods to ensure we achieve these goals.
University is a place for study and learning, but it also provides an opportunity to make friends and become
involved in other activities. These range from sailing, rowing, diving and representing the University in
sport, to debating, board games and socialising. We strongly encourage you to take part in these activities,
with one proviso: Do not take on too many commitments and remember that there are only 24 hours in a
day!
I am sure you will enjoy studying at university and we wish you the best of luck.

The 4th year individual project (21 490) must be submitted by Friday, 11th May 2007. Each student will
also be required to make a short presentation during the period Wednesday, 16th May 2007 to Friday, 18th
May 2007; this forms part of the formal assessment. Based on the quality of these presentations, a number
of students will be selected for a mini-symposium, open to the university and industry, to compete for the
RINA-BAE Systems Student Naval Architect award; this is held at the end of May. The best individual
project in 4th year and the best group project in 5th year are normally entered for the Maritime Technology
section of the UK Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) awards in August/September.
The External Examiner will also interview a cross-section of 4th and 5th year students in either April or early
June.
All 4th and 5th year students are therefore required to be in attendance until FRIDAY, 1st JUNE 2007.
On several occasions, external speakers will be invited to present seminars. These are specifically aimed
at augmenting the curricula and related assignments will be set for certain classes. Attendance is
mandatory for students in 3rd year and higher; however, students in earlier years are most welcome.

COURSE AIMS AND THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The proud history of marine teaching in the City of Glasgow can be traced for over 100 years. The last two
decades have witnessed a particularly strong expansion and diversification into additional areas such as the
exploration and production of offshore oil and gas, technologies linked to the responsible development of
marine resources, and the increased demand for degree courses in the design and operation of smaller marine
craft, ranging from fishing boats to leisure yachts, and fast craft, including catamarans and surface-effect
ships. Teaching and research are closely linked and the departments strengths have been enhanced by the
appointment of young staff engaged in multi-disciplinary projects with a high level of industrial
involvement.
Our mission may be stated as follows:
To promote and advance the departments nationally and internationally recognised quality of
marine technology education and training through a balance of scholarship, innovative teaching
and applied research.
The degree courses aim:
To develop the necessary knowledge and skills to equip students for a successful career through
the development of critical, analytical, problem-based learning.
To instil confidence in students to take on new challenges and to adapt and respond positively to
change and to opportunities within their profession and in society.
To enhance the development of students interpersonal and team working skills.
To provide education and training that is accredited to CEng by the appropriate Engineering
Institutions.
To prepare students for graduate employment and life-long learning, including Continuing
Professional Development (CPD).
As you progress through the course you will find that the more traditional style of lecturing is complemented
by more discussion in which you are expected to challenge ideas, demonstrate initiative and seek additional
knowledge and understanding via directed study. Individual and group projects form a major part of the
course from third year onwards.

COURSE DIRECTOR, ADVISERS OF STUDY & COUNSELLORS
The Course Director has overall responsibility and authority for teaching within the Department.
The aim of the Adviser of Study is to guide you on particular aspects of your current year and to assist you
in choosing optional and elective classes.
Course Director:
Dr P G Sayer
Room HD2.12 Ext 3302
BEng/MEng
First Year Adviser:
Mr D Clelland
Second Year Adviser:
Dr O Turan
Third Year Adviser:
Mr D L Smith
Fourth Year Adviser:
Prof P K Das
Fifth Year Adviser:
Dr P G Sayer
BSc Course Adviser
Prof N Barltrop
A students Counsellor offers advice on both personal and academic matters throughout the duration of
studies. Discussions take place in confidence and actions undertaken only with permission of the student. A
mentoring system, initiated by the students themselves, also aims to offer advice on a variety of issues.
Details will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
Given the organisational structure, a clear line of student-staff communication may be defined as follows:
Issues of student concern (including individual student difficulties) associated with particular modules,
assignments or projects, should be raised in the first instance with the lecturer in charge of the module. If
such issues cannot be resolved, students should then communicate their concerns to the appropriate Adviser
of Study, their Counsellor or the Course Director. Ultimately, still unresolved issues should then be raised at
the Student/Staff Committee and as a last resort students may take particular grievances to the Head of
Department.
Issues concerning the organisation of a particular year of the course or the operation of the entire course in
general should be raised directly with the appropriate Year Adviser or the Course Director respectively.
Unresolved issues should be communicated to the Student/Staff Committee and ultimately to the Head of
Department if appropriate.

EXAMINATIONS & ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
7.1
Examination Marks & Degree Classification
To pass undergraduate classes at Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 requires a mark of at least 40%. Classes at
Level 5 (Masters Level) require a mark of at least 50%.
Progress from year to year of the course requires passes in credit classes. However, there are a number
of reasons why you should set your sights higher than this; for example, your marks will appear on your
Academic Transcript from Registry, and prospective employers often seek copies of this. [It is your
responsibility to ensure that you are registered officially for all your classes; failure to do so may
result in your marks being forfeited]. In addition, classes in 3rd, 4th and 5th years contribute to degree
classifications and it is obviously important for you to secure the highest possible marks.
Many classes are assessed by a combination of written examination and coursework or other exercises. The
relative weighting of each component is indicated in the Module Descriptors for each class. To maintain
the high standards expected of this course, students must also achieve a mark of at least 30% in each
component separately to obtain the credit. Therefore a fail (F) will be recorded on your transcript of
marks for any class in which a component mark is less than 30% even though the overall composite
mark may be 40% or higher.
There are two Examination Boards General and Honours that consider examination marks. The General
Board considers student progress from one year of the course to the next; the Honours Board decides the
classification of degree for students in their final year of study. These Boards meet at different times and
students should note that examination marks are only verified at the appropriate Board, even though
unofficial marks may be available beforehand.
Many classes are assessed by a combination of written examination and coursework or other exercises. The
relative weighting of each component is indicated in the Module Descriptors for each class. To maintain
the high standards expected of this course, students must also achieve a mark of at least 30% in each
component separately to obtain the credit. Therefore a fail (F) will be recorded on your transcript of
marks for any class in which a component mark is less than 30% even though the composite mark
may be 40% or higher.

BEng Degrees
The classification of your degree is based on a weighting of 30% and 70% of your average mark in
classes in 3rd and 4th years respectively. Note that the average mark is calculated from the results that
you obtain at your first attempt. A summary of your performance will be given to you each year.
For those students entering 4th Year directly with either an Advanced Diploma in Ship and Marine
Technology (ADSMT) from Ngee Ann Polytechnic or a Specialist Diploma in Marine Engineering and
Naval Architecture (SMENA) from Singapore Polytechnic, the average mark obtained in the ADSMT
or SMENA will be used as the 3rd year average mark, mentioned above. However, this mark will
adjusted (reduced) to account for the different pass marks at the Polytechnics further information
will be provided by the Course Director.
For the award of a BEng Honours degree at least 460 credits are required at appropriate levels, as
specified in the General Regulations. Similarly, at least 340, 220 and 110 credits at appropriate levels
are required for the award of a BEng Pass Degree, Diploma of Higher Education and Certificate of
Higher Education, respectively. Further details are given in the section on Degree Regulations.
14
MEng Degrees
MEng degrees offered by the department require at least 580 credits at an appropriate level and
standard of performance. Further details are given in the section on Degree Regulations.
To remain on the MEng course you must maintain a standard equivalent to at least upper secondclass honours throughout your studies. Transfer from the BEng to MEng course may be permitted at
the end of third year, subject to achieving a level of performance deemed satisfactory by the Head of
Department. This requires a standard equivalent to at least upper second-class honours during each
semester, plus satisfactory interview.
The classification of your degree is based on a weighting of 50% of your average mark in 5th year and
th
50% of your cumulative average mark achieved by the end of 4 year. [The cumulative average
mark is calculated as for BEng students, given above]. Project work is regarded as a vital part of the
education process and the professional accreditation conditions require that you must pass the 4th
Year individual project, 21 490, at the first attempt. Additional information is given in Appendix 1.
7.2
Submission of Coursework/Projects/Assignments/Resits
Your schedule of assignments is designed to help spread the amount of work across the academic year and
to be fair to all students. Module descriptors are available on-line, either via the Departments own
website or via Pegasus. However, students should still check the specific requirements for each class
directly with the relevant lecturer. Students who experience difficulties should contact the relevant
lecturer without delay. Assignments are a vital part of the learning experience.
Coursework should be submitted direct to the relevant lecturer (preferably in class) or via the staff
mailboxes outside the Undergraduate Office HD2.12a.
Late submission of coursework will be penalised. Normally 3% will be deducted per day (including
weekends) for a submission that is overdue by no more than 2 weeks. A submission that is overdue by
2 weeks or more will be awarded no marks.
7.3
Attendance
Poor attendance in classes is invariably linked to poor performance and, regrettably, sometimes to failure.
We have a duty to ensure that quality education is provided to you and it is reasonable that you respect this
by attending classes. Occasionally classes may have to be re-scheduled for a number of reasons, but staff
will endeavour to minimise such occurrences.
If you are absent from a class on 3 occasions without justifiable reasons then we shall ask you to come
and discuss your particular difficulties. A total of 6 such absences will result in your receiving an
official written warning that you are at risk of poor performance and jeopardising your university
studies overall; if this persists, then a total of 12 absences will automatically result in your being nonqualified (NQ), i.e. you will not be allowed to take the examination for that class and no mark will be
returned. Poor attendance in more than one class will be viewed very seriously and your situation will
be subject to special consideration.
Naturally we hope that the above grave circumstances will never affect you. Of course, you may be absent
because of illness or for understandable personal reasons. We would ask you to inform your counsellor and
also Mrs Sweeney; the Department will respect confidentiality if you wish to discuss particular personal
issues and try to offer guidance. In Appendix 2 of this Handbook you will find that the Faculty has provided
additional information on a range of topics and facilities that we hope you will find useful and helpful.
7.4
4th Year Individual Project
In order to graduate you will have to submit a satisfactory individual project based on an extended period of
research. For the award of an Honours degree you must submit a satisfactory project at the first attempt. Mr
Clelland co-ordinates this project work and will give you specific advice on project planning, management
and other procedures please see Appendix 1. Your supervisor will also give you feedback on your
progress informally through general discussions and formally via two written reports, the criteria for which
will be distributed by Mr Clelland. These two interim assessments together with the final oral presentation
and defence of your project contribute approximately one third of the final mark for your individual project.

GENERAL INFORMATION
8.1
Security and Entrance to the Department
The Department is privileged having sole occupancy of a building, the Henry Dyer Building, named after a
Glaswegian Professor of Mechanical Engineering who later established the first Naval Architecture
department in Japan. This helps create a friendly, family sort of atmosphere. However, there are no
security staff assigned to this building and so we have to take precautions.
General enquiries should be addressed to the Undergraduate Office HD2.12a.
Normal access to the Henry Dyer Building is by the carpark entrance using an electronic smartcard. Access
by the main entrance requires you to call extension 1212 from the wall telephone adjacent to the front door.
Electronic smartcards for access (excluding public holidays) between 0800 and 2200 (Monday-Friday)
and 1000-1800 (Saturday and Sunday) are issued at the Department Office, HD2.03 (weekdays 10.0012noon) only to registered NA-ME students. A passport photograph will be required and a payment
of 5. Lost cards incur an additional charge of 10. All students working after 1800 MUST telephone
the Security Office (ext. 2222 or 3333) located in Livingstone Tower. This is an important safety and
security issue, and students who do not follow this procedure will be subject to disciplinary action.
Details of general access across the University, including the issue of blue and red cards, may be found in
the Faculty information in Appendix 2.
8.2
Safety
Safety is a vital aspect of all engineering training and education, particularly when attending practical
classes in workshops and laboratories. It is therefore very important to familiarise yourself with the
University Safety Policy and to co-operate in applying specific safety regulations relevant to the various
specialised activities in your course. As safety and its assurance are a shared responsibility between staff,
students and management, everyone must be able to respond in unlikely events such as accidents, fire and
electric shock. To this end you will be required to observe the Departments Regulations and will be
expected to sign a statement confirming that you have read and understood them. Obviously you should
also familiarise yourself with the locations of emergency exits and evacuation procedures.
If you have any concerns about safety speak to one of your lecturers or contact the Departmental Safety
Convenor, Mr D Clelland. General University safety information may be found from the Safety Services
website www.strath.ac.uk/Departments/SafetyServices/ and additional aspects regarding the Department
from the links at www.na-me.ac.uk. There may also be some differences in the specific details for those
students who are based in Singapore.
If you notice anything suspicious, please contact Security (Ext. 2222 or 3333) or a member of departmental
staff immediately.
8.3
Student Counselling Scheme
A student counselling scheme exists within the University: the objectives of this are to create an
environment where students are able to discuss freely and in confidence any academic or personal matters.
Guidance is provided on curriculum choice and towards the realisation of students full academic potential.
Staff can provide advice either personally or, if the student is agreeable, through another specialist member
of staff. Few students encounter substantial difficulties but for those who do it is hoped that the scheme will
ensure their academic welfare and encourage satisfactory progress with their studies.
The success of the scheme depends on the participation of both staff and students. Those who find they
cannot speak freely to the member of staff assigned to them are invited to approach, in the first instance, Dr
Sayer, or the Head of the Department.
8.4
Scholarships
16
A limited number of competitive scholarships and awards are available from the Royal Institution of Naval
Architects and similar professional bodies, such as the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and the
Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology (IMarEST), as well as from Lloyds Register and
the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights. Application forms and general information are available from Mr
D L Smith.
The best overall academic performance at the end of the first year of attendance by students of both the first
and second years is rewarded by a prestigious Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) award valued at
1000*. The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) may also offer one or
more 1000* Scholarships on the recommendation of the Department.
At the end of second and third years students are encouraged to compete (on a national basis) for Lloyds
Register sponsored training places which not only supply a substantial two year bursary but also give
valuable paid summer training for up to two years with the organisation at a variety of sites around the UK.
In addition, a limited number of summer training places in Europe are usually through national competition
to continuing third and fourth year students through the IAESTE scheme. The Department is also able to
offer support, through the generosity of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights, to a number of home
students to assist with the costs of taking up suitable summer training places around the UK as well as
SOCRATES or other summer placements within Europe. The Department will guide those interested in
trying to secure suitable placements.
8.5
Prizes and Awards
To encourage students to maintain high academic standards and gain the maximum benefit from their
studies, the Department is fortunate to be able to offer a number of prizes, bursaries or work placement
scholarships.
There are a significant number of endowed prizes, dating back as far as 1893, reflecting both its age and
importance in the commercial life of Glasgow. The wording of many of these endowments now requires a
degree of liberal interpretation to reflect the many changes that have taken place in the course structures of
the new joint Department. The following, however, is a general guide to current practice:
The best overall graduate of the year (at either BEng or MEng) level will be presented with the King Harald
Trophy and will in addition receive the Archibald Denny prize (800*). In addition there is a 50 award
from the IMarEST, also for best overall performance, that gives an additional distinction to the top
graduate. Exceptional students, who also contribute significantly to the life of the University and/or local
community, will be eligible for the Glasgow University Engineers Society (GUES) award, in competition
with all graduates from the Faculty.
The Kirk Memorial prize (600*) is usually awarded to the next best MEng graduate but may be split if
there are two candidates of equal merit. Any other high achieving MEng graduate(s) may receive one of the
four Reid Birrell (225*) prizes (which may also be split).
The best BEng graduates will generally receive the two Hedderwick Memorial Prizes (180*), one of
which can be split if there are candidates of equal merit) and the Basu Memorial Prize (200*). In general,
the Department will try to award these three prizes over the different graduate streams if the students are of
equivalent merit.
The remaining Reid Birrell prizes are distributed amongst the best continuing students of the third and fourth
years who show particular merit in their Naval Architecture subjects.
Additional non-endowed prizes (available to graduating and continuing students) are also available to mark
excellent performance in specific 4th year subjects:
RINA-BAE Systems Prize for best individual project and presentation (250*)
McCaig Watson Prize for Small Craft (75*)
Sub Sea Engineering Prize for Sub Sea Engineering (75*)
Ross Belch Prize for best Experimental Hydrodynamics Project (250*)
17
Ian Broadley Prize for innovation and financial awareness in a Project (50*)
The judgement of merit is generally based on BEng and MEng honours block marks, either aggregated over
the 3rd, 4th and 5th years or based on performance in individual years.
The best continuing students of the third and fourth years are usually awarded a Reid Birrell Prize, currently
valued at 225*.
* Note that amounts shown are for guidance and may vary dependent on the value of underlying funds or
endowment constraints.
In addition, the Department is currently awarding a number of entry bursaries (currently in the form of either
500 cash or a laptop computer to use for the duration of their course) to those students with the highest
qualifications at entry. The University is also a member of IBMs Laptop Initiative through which
discounted prices are available; further information is available from the Department Office or direct from
the Universitys website.
8.6
Summer Vacation Work
The summer vacation can be an excellent time to earn extra money and gain experience working in industry.
If you are interested in summer vacation work you should visit the Careers Library in the Livingstone Tower
to find out more information about companies who offer such jobs. If there is a particular company that you
would like to work with there is no harm in sending a polite letter of enquiry, usually addressed to the
Personnel Manager. Many students have found jobs in this way.
Frequently the Department is approached by companies who would like to offer placements for the summer,
particularly for third year students. Keep a look-out on the noticeboards and video monitors in the Henry
Dyer Building; the Advisers of Study for 3rd and 4th years may also have more detailed information.
8.7
Graduate Employment
Most students in the final year of the course will soon be seeking employment. The University has a very
extensive Careers Advisory Service on level 5 of the Livingstone Tower. The Careers Advisory Service is
well worth a visit to help with your job search or to help you with your interview techniques and with the
completion of c.v.s and job applications. You should keep in regular contact to find out when companies
will be visiting the University and interviewing students. The Department will also try to keep you informed
as job opportunities arise - check the noticeboards in the Henry Dyer Building. Frequently, companies will
ask for referees who can comment on your academic progress as well as your general conduct. We suggest
that you ask one of the year advisers, your academic counsellor, your project supervisor or the Course
Director.
8.8
Professional Institutions and Registration
It is extremely important to keep in touch with professional institutions. In naval architecture and marine
engineering, the relevant bodies are the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the Institute of
Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). The Departments MEng and BEng honours
degrees are accredited by the Engineering Council ECUK through the RINA and the IMarEST.
It is very likely that you will wish to register with ECUK as a professional engineer: the Chartered Engineer
qualification (CEng) is recognised worldwide as demonstrating the highest standard of professional
engineering. The academic requirement can be achieved either with an accredited MEng degree or an
accredited BEng honours degree plus further learning to masters level (which may be via an approved MSc,
but alternatively this additional learning does not have to lead to the award of a degree). Further details will
be given to you during your studies. In addition, on-line information is available from the ECUK website.
By becoming a Junior or Consociate Member of the RINA and/or IMarEST now you can keep in touch with
all this, but there are other benefits too. You will be kept informed of the latest developments and thinking
in naval architecture, opportunities open to you, as well as receiving a regular journal with many interesting
articles and technical papers. Representatives of the RINA and IMarEST will provide you with further
details in the early part of the session; two short seminars will be given on Tuesday afternoons specific
18
dates will be announced in class and via the noticeboards. Please ensure that YOU keep the professional
institutions informed of your mailing address.
8.9
Student-Staff Committee & Feedback
Students and staff need to keep in touch over and above normal class times. One way in which the
Department does this is via the Student/Staff Committee. Students elect two class representatives from each
year and the Committee meets three or four times per year. This is a means of speaking freely on what you
the students think of the service provided by the staff/department/university. If you have something to
say, make sure your class representative knows about it (or volunteer to be the class representative
yourself!). The department attempts to act promptly on all matters raised. We take your views seriously.
Feedback, also, is a vital part of your education. We shall endeavour to provide this both quickly and
comprehensively for all assignments. If you feel that you need further information, you are warmly
encouraged to see the class lecturers, Adviser of Studies, your Counsellor or the Course Director.
At the end of each module, we should like you to complete (anonymously) a short questionnaire to give
feedback to the staff on both the syllabus and the teaching and learning experience. We also intend to
introduce the anonymous personal response system (PRS) means of feedback.
8.10
SNAMES
The Student Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Society (SNAMES) is run by students with the aim
of encouraging extra-curricular activities and helping students in all years of the course to get to know one
another. It has links with similar groups of students across Europe. Further information can be obtained
from the SNAMES web-site: www.strath.ac.uk/students/na-me
8.11
Notices, Information and Mail
Please check notice boards in the Henry Dyer Building.
For obvious reasons e-mail is widely used for contact. Please ensure that you use only YOUR Strathclydebased address for contact with the Department, i.e. your name@strath.ac.uk
You must ensure that your mail is directed to your home/lodging address. Likewise, there are no fax
facilities for general student use.
8.12
Student Photocopier
There is a student copier in the Laboratory HD1.17 on the ground level of the Henry Dyer Building. Cards
are available in units of 1.60 and 4 from Mrs B Sweeney, Room HD2.12a, Monday-Friday 9.15-12.15
ONLY. Please have the correct money. No change will be given.
8.13
Student Lockers
Students wishing a locker please contact Miss Fiona Cameron in the Departmental Office HD2.03 by e-mail
(f.cameron@strath.ac.uk). Lockers will be allocated on availability a 10 refundable deposit will be
required.
8.14
Common Room - Food/Drink/Smoking
Coin operated drinks machines are available in the Student Common Area HD1.13 on the Ground Level of
the Henry Dyer Building. Eating and drinking are allowed only in the Common Room.
NOTE: Smoking is NOT permitted in any University building.
8.15
Department Library
The Department has a collection of books, journals and magazines on Naval Architecture and related topics.
Due to the ongoing re-development work these are not available for general student use at present but it is
intended to introduce limited access soon.
The Andersonian Library in the Curran Building has a considerable collection of relevant books, journals,
magazines and reports. Those of most relevance to Departmental students are likely to be found on the
19
Fourth Floor and in the Second Floor. Please note that students must return all borrowed books and
serials before they will be permitted to graduate. You will be required to cover the cost of any lost
items. NAME students may also use the main library at Glasgow University.
8.16
Computer Facilities and Study Areas
The Henry Dyer Building houses a computer room, two undergraduate and one postgraduate project work
rooms, plus a student common room. The computer room is equipped with 40 PCs all networked running
carefully selected set of software. The day-to-day running of this facility will be the responsibility of Mr
David Percival.
The two project work/study rooms have tables arranged in a way to encourage group working and learning.
They also have a number of network sockets and a radio network facility for your laptops with suitable
equipment.
There are also many centrally managed computer laboratories throughout the University - the details of this
may be had from the IT Services pages of the University website.
Students must maintain overall tidiness of these rooms at all times. Failure to do so may result in removal of
some of the privileges. Remember that there are nearly 200 students in the Department. Please be
considerate to others and, above all else, do not misuse the computers or any other facilities. Mounting your
own software on the University computers without prior permission is not allowed.
FOOD AND DRINK IS RESTRICTED TO THE STUDENT COMMON ROOM ONLY
8.17
Telephone Calls
The department is only able to deal with EMERGENCY INCOMING CALLS ONLY on your behalf.
Public telephone boxes are located nearby on Cathedral Street.
8.18
Student Records
It is important that you inform BOTH the Department AND Registry of any changes to your term or
home addresses and telephone numbers. Please contact the Undergraduate Secretary, Mrs B Sweeney,
HD2.12a.
8.19
Appointments with Staff
You are encouraged to keep in touch with the staff. If you are in the building it is easiest to come and knock
on our door or make an appointment via Mrs Sweeney or the staff mail boxes located outside HD2.12a.
Otherwise it is best to telephone to save a wasted journey. Internal telephone numbers are given in Section 5
of this handbook.
In addition there will be an l hour timetabled period each week of both semesters to enable students to meet
their Advisers of Study.
20
9.
OVERSEAS STUDY OPPORTUNITIES
A number of opportunities are available to allow students to undertake part of their studies at universities in
other countries. The specific study course undertaken needs to be approved by the Course Director, Dr P G
Sayer, and by Dr O Turan, SOCRATES Co-ordinator. Naturally, the academic performance and potential
benefits for interested students are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Additional information about exchange schemes is available from Alison Handley, Michelle Stewart and
Janice Brownlee in the International and Graduate Office, Level 4, Graham Hills Building.
9.1
SOCRATES Study
What is it?
SOCRATES is the name given to the European Union Action Scheme for co-operation in the field of
education. It is the successor to the ERASMUS programme, through which the Department has had many
successful student exchanges. It forms a major part of the efforts of the European Union to ensure that
graduates within its member countries should be able to function on a European-wide basis following the
creation of a single market.
What does the scheme involve?
The scheme enables students to spend part of their degree course at a university in another country within
the EU. This study elsewhere counts as a normal part of the degree curriculum. The various schemes have
therefore been designed to ensure complementary with studies, which the student would otherwise have
taken if he or she had remained in the department of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering. The
minimum length of an exchange is three months and the maximum is one year.
Where language permits (normally French/German/Italian) students may be expected to attend lectures in
their European university. A strong emphasis is placed on laboratory, practical and project work, both
individually and in groups with European students. The opportunity to undertake project work has been
particularly attractive and beneficial to students.
Is language a difficulty?
The Faculty has recognised that proficiency in another European language is essential to the success for any
student exchange. Arrangements have therefore been made with the Department of Modern Languages to
offer specially designed classes in French, German and Italian. These classes are pitched at different levels
to take account of previous knowledge (ranging from nil to passes in Highers). They are taught in small
groups and aim to teach spoken and written language in an enjoyable and relevant way. The classes are
normally worth two credits and are recognised by all courses in the Faculty as approved elective classes.
During the period of the exchange itself the host university gives language tuition.
When and where can we go?
Most exchanges will be in third year, although, a few are in second year. It is obviously important to match
the subjects covered during the exchange with those of the Strathclyde degree course. Also, a pre-requisite
is that must have passed all your classes. So the academic performance of the student, together with the
curriculum, facilities and support in the exchange university, must be carefully assessed. At the moment, the
Department has links with Norway, Italy, Greece, Germany and Spain.
What benefits are there in it for me?
While the exchanges usually mean hard work when you are there, they can also be fun. Students studying in
Europe have taken advantage of the opportunity to travel, to spend time with students from their European
university and sometimes to obtain relevant vacation employment in Europe. More than ever, there is a truly
international dimension to engineering and so the experience of living and working on another country often
puts those students at an advantage when seeking subsequent employment.
How much does it cost?
You will continue to receive your grant (from SAAS or an LEA) in the normal way on exchange (as a
student living away from home). A small supplementary grant is provided by the SOCRATES scheme to
21
help towards travel and higher living costs. It should be stressed that this grant is a supplement and not a
substitute for your normal grant.
9.2
Studies in North America
An exchange programme currently exists between the University and a number of universities in North
America, which allows students to study in the United States for a period of one year; this period is often
referred to as a Junior Year Abroad.
Through the International Office a pool of acceptable universities in North America has been established.
Students would be encouraged to select the location where they would wish to study and from information
on the courses available select courses that would be equivalent to the courses they would undertake here.
There are close links with the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute & State University, commonly known as Virginia Tech.
Unlike the SOCRATES scheme students would be expected to meet their own expenses completely for
travel, insurance and maintenance. However, since it is a recognised exchange scheme, there would be no
fees charged to the students.
22
10.
POSTGRADUATE STUDY
For those of you graduating this year you have a choice of continuing your studies to obtain a postgraduate
degree, or to find employment. Postgraduate degrees are either by instruction or by research. A Masters
degree is one year by both instruction (MSc) or by research (MPhil). Dr S Huang (Room HD2.34, Ext.
3308) can assist with enquiries. Beyond this, a doctorate degree (PhD) takes 3 years and is by research only.
PhD enquiries should be made in the first instance to the Head of Department.
The MSc courses receive studentship support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
(EPSRC). The course structure is modular, with some classes running over a full semester while others are
given over a period of a few days. Group and individual projects are an integral part of the curriculum.

General Regulations for the Degree of Bachelor with Honours, Degree of Bachelor,
Diploma of Higher Education and Certificate of Higher Education
Admission
Every applicant for admission to a course of study must satisfy the General Entrance
Requirements as specified in Regulation 2 and any additional Course Entrance
Requirements specified by the Department(s) and approved by the relevant Board of Study.
Credit Transfer and Exemption
The relevant Board of Study (or nominee(s)) may admit applicants and/or approve
exemption from part of a course by Accreditation of Prior Learning (formal [APFL] and/or
experiential [APEL]) provided this is done in accordance with University procedures and
against criteria defined on a course by course basis.
Credit granted for APFL or APEL may only be used once and, when used to gain
exemption, will normally relate to achievements within 5 years of registration on a
University of Strathclyde course.
Exemption granted on the basis of APFL and/or APEL will be allowed primarily where
applicants can demonstrate that the relevant specific learning outcomes have been achieved
(i.e. primarily for specific rather than general credit). The extent of any allowed exemption
shall be stated in course regulations and shall preferably be less than 25% and normally not
exceed 50% of the credits appropriate to the course. Exceptionally, by formal resolution, the
Senate may approve up to 75% exemption in special circumstances.
Where any such exemption is granted, the Board of Study will award the appropriate
number of credits and may reduce the minimum and maximum period of study
appropriately.
Modes of Study
Courses are offered on a full-time and/or non-consecutive basis except where indicated to
the contrary in the course regulations.
At the discretion of the relevant Board of Study on the recommendation of the relevant
Head of Department (or nominee), a student may transfer from full-time to non-consecutive
study and vice-versa where an appropriate course is available, at which time the relevant
minimum and maximum periods of study will be reviewed.

For a typical student, 1 credit equates to approximately 10 hours of total student
learning.
2
In certain circumstances, for example to meet professional accreditation
requirements, the credit requirement may exceed the above framework)
Students studying on a non-consecutive basis undertake a curriculum chosen from the
appropriate full-time curriculum; typically 40 80 credits would be taken in any year of
study.
In order to qualify for a University of Strathclyde award, a student who has been granted
exemption from earlier years of a University of Strathclyde course through Accreditation of
Prior Learning (in accord with Regulation 15.1.2) must gain from the University of
Strathclyde course curriculum a minimum of 120 credits or, where less, a minimum of onethird of the overall credit requirement for that award.
15.1.11
15.1.12
The curriculum of every student must be approved at the start of each academic year or level
of study (as appropriate) by the relevant Course Director, or equivalent, acting on behalf of
the Board of Study. Normally, full-time students shall in each year of study be following a
curriculum containing at least 120 credits.
Where a student is admitted with advanced standing and is exempted from part of an
academic years curriculum, additional classes may require to be taken to bring the total
credits studied to at least 120 credits.
The curriculum for a course shall be set out in the course regulations and shall indicate
which classes are compulsory or optional. Where a pass in a particular class is a necessary
condition for progress or for the award of a degree, this shall be clearly stated in the relevant
course regulations. Individual Departments and Faculties cannot guarantee that all optional
and/or elective classes will be available in any given academic year. The choice of classes
may be subject to constraints of timetabling and may also be influenced by professional
requirements as well as by a students entrance qualifications or pre-requisite classes passed.
Attendance and Performance
Every applicant admitted to a course of study shall be required to attend regularly and to
perform satisfactorily the work of each class in their curriculum. A student who, in the
opinion of the Head(s) of the Department(s) (or nominee(s)) offering a class, does not
satisfy the requirements as to attendance and to performance and having been informed in
28
writing, shall not be entitled to take the examination in the subject of that class. The names
of such students shall be reported immediately to the relevant Board of Study.
A registered student may subsequently be permitted by the Head of Department to take the
examination in the subject of the class at the next available opportunity subject to
satisfactory completion of appropriate course work.
Students have an obligation to inform the University Registry at the first reasonable
opportunity of any medical or other circumstances which might adversely affect their
attendance, performance and/or ability to study.

(iv)
any combination of the above
unless specified otherwise in the relevant Course Handbook.
Except where a course includes an integrative/reflective class that will draw on work in
other classes, each item of work may only be assessed in one class.
There shall normally be two diets of formal assessment for classes at Levels 1, 2 and 3 in
each academic year. However, the assessment for classes at Level 4 and above will
normally be held only once in each academic year unless the relevant Board of Study
decides otherwise.
The progress of every student shall be determined by the relevant Board of Examiners.
A student who is deemed to have failed in a class shall normally have one further
opportunity to be re-assessed on a similar basis or by such other means as the Department(s)
offering the class may decide. The nature of re-assessment shall be identified in Course
Handbooks.
Unless prior authority of the relevant Board of Study has been given, students who fail to
satisfy the Board of Examiners at the first assessment for a class shall undertake
reassessment at the first available opportunity and normally within two years of first taking
the class and normally within two years of first taking the class.
Notwithstanding Regulation 15.1.17, Boards of Examiners may exceptionally permit
alternative forms of re-assessment for a class where they consider it to be in a students
interest.
Notwithstanding Regulation 15.1.17, the Board of Examiners may permit a student who
satisfies the attendance and performance requirements of a class a maximum of two further
attempts at passing the class. The Board of Examiners may additionally require a student to
reattend a class.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Regulation 15.1.17, the relevant Board of Study acting on
the recommendation of the Board of Examiners may discount an attempt for a class where
appropriate medical or other evidence has been provided.

degree of Bachelor with Honours who has taken the Final Level Curriculum Examination
will be permitted to retake specific classes of the Final Level Curriculum Examination to
satisfy professional accreditation requirements. In these circumstances the Honours
classification will be based solely on the students first attempt at the assessment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Regulations 15.1.17 and 15.1.19, a candidate for the
degree of Bachelor with Honours who has taken either the whole or part of the Final Level
Curriculum Examination will be permitted to be re-assessed, in whole or in part, where
29
there are medical, personal or other circumstances which have adversely affected the
students performance. In these circumstances, permission may be granted by the Honours
Board of Examiners concerned, subject to a report of any cases to the relevant Board of
Study.

General Regulations for Integrated Masters Degrees

Admission
Every applicant for admission to an Integrated Masters course must satisfy the General
Entrance Requirements as specified in Regulation 2 and any additional Course Entrance
Requirements specified by the Department(s) and approved by the relevant Board of Study.
Credit Transfer and Exemption
The relevant Board of Study (or nominee(s)) may admit applicants and/or approve
exemption from part of a course by Accreditation of Prior Learning (formal [APFL] and/or
experiential [APEL]) provided this is done in accordance with University procedures and
against criteria defined on a course by course basis.
Credit granted for APFL or APEL may only be used once and, when used to gain
exemption, will normally relate to achievements within 5 years of registration on a
University of Strathclyde course.
Exemption granted on the basis of APFL and/or APEL will be allowed primarily where
applicants can demonstrate that the relevant specific learning outcomes have been achieved
(i.e. primarily for specific rather than general credit). The extent of any allowed exemption
shall be stated in course regulations and shall preferably be less than 25% and normally not
exceed 50% of the credits appropriate to the course. Exceptionally, by formal resolution, the
Senate may approve up to 75% exemption in special circumstances.
Where any such exemption is granted, the Board of Study will award the appropriate
number of credits and may reduce the minimum and maximum period of study
appropriately.
Mode of Study
Courses are offered on a full-time and/or non-consecutive basis except where indicated to
the contrary in the course regulations.
At the discretion of the relevant Board of Study on the recommendation of the relevant
Head of Department (or nominee), a student may transfer from full-time to non-consecutive
study and vice-versa where an appropriate course is available, at which time the relevant
minimum and maximum periods of study will be reviewed.
Minimum Periods of Study
For full-time study, the minimum period of study shall normally be 5 years (assuming entry
at Level 1).
For non-consecutive study, the minimum period of study shall be the learning equivalent of
the full-time study period required, taking account of the conditions under which the student
will work. The overall duration of study will normally be greater than for full-time study.
Maximum Periods of Study
Unless otherwise specified, the maximum periods of study shall be 7 years for full-time
study and 12 years for non-consecutive study (assuming entry at Level 1)
Exceptionally, the maximum period of study may be extended by the Senate on the
recommendation of the relevant Board of Study.
Place of Study
Except where the Senate has approved open learning arrangements for off-campus delivery,
study shall normally be undertaken within the University.
Course Structure and Curriculum
Each candidate for an award must follow the curriculum as prescribed in the relevant course
regulations. These may be amended from time to time by the Senate on the recommendation
of the relevant Board of Study.
All courses shall be modular and credit rated in accordance with the University Awards
Framework in Regulation 16.1.9 below. Individual classes shall be assigned a level based on
expected learning outcomes and a credit rating based on the volume of learning required.
40
16.1.9
The structure of courses shall normally accord with the following:

Award
Master in Science, Master of
Engineering,
Master
of
Pharmacy,
Master
of
Architecture
Integrated Master with Diploma
(MEngDiplMan, MEngDiplEng)
Credit Requirement
550 - 600 credits
700 credits
Minimum Level
Requirement
(Note: for a typical student, 1 credit equates to approximately 10 hours of total student
learning.)
Students studying on a non-consecutive basis undertake a curriculum chosen from the
appropriate full-time curriculum; typically 40 80 credits would be taken in any year of
study.
In order to qualify for a University of Strathclyde award, a student who has been granted
exemption from earlier years of a University of Strathclyde course through Accreditation of
Prior Learning (in accord with Regulation 16.1.2) must gain from the University of
Strathclyde course curriculum a minimum of 120 credits or, where less, a minimum of onethird of the overall credit requirement for that award.
16.1.10
16.1.11
The curriculum of every student must be approved at the start of each academic year or level
of study (as appropriate) by the relevant Course Director or equivalent acting on behalf of
the Board of Study. Normally, full-time students shall in each year of study be following a
curriculum containing at least 120 credits.
Where a full-time student is admitted with advanced standing and is exempted from part of
an academic years curriculum, additional classes may require to be taken to bring the total
credits studied to at least 120 credits.
The curriculum for a course shall be set out in the course regulations and shall indicate
which classes are compulsory or optional. Where a pass in a particular class is a necessary
condition for progress or for the award of a degree, this shall be clearly stated in the relevant
course regulations. Individual Departments and Faculties cannot guarantee that all optional
and/or elective classes will be available in any given academic year. The choice of classes
may be subject to constraints of timetabling and may also be influenced by professional
requirements as well as by a students entrance qualifications or pre-requisite classes passed.
Every applicant admitted to a course of study shall be required to attend regularly and to
perform satisfactorily the work of each class in their curriculum.
A student who, in the opinion of the Head(s) of the Department(s) (or nominee(s)) offering
a class, does not satisfy the requirements as to attendance and to performance and having
been informed in writing, shall not be entitled to take the examination in the subject of that
class. The names of such students shall be reported immediately to the relevant Board of
Study. A student may subsequently be permitted by the Head of Department to take the
examination in the subject of the class at the next available opportunity subject to
satisfactory completion of appropriate course work.
Students have an obligation to inform the University Registry at the first reasonable
opportunity of any medical or other circumstances which might adversely affect their
attendance, performance and/or ability to study.

Examinations and Assessment

Students shall complete the assessments during the academic year in which the classes were
undertaken unless permitted by the relevant Board of Study to postpone the assessment.
Classes shall be assessed by
(i)
coursework assignments; or
(ii)
written examinations; or
(iii)
oral examinations; or
(iv)
any combination of the above
unless specified otherwise in the relevant Course Handbook.
Except where a course includes an integrative/reflective class that will draw on work in
other classes, each item of work may only be assessed in one class.
There shall normally be two diets of formal assessment for classes at Levels 1, 2 and 3 in
each academic year. However, the assessment for classes at Levels 4 and 5 will be held only
once in each academic year unless the relevant Board of Study decides otherwise.
The performance of every student shall be determined by the relevant Board of Examiners.
A student who is deemed to have failed in a class at Level 1, 2 or 3 shall normally have one
further opportunity to be re-assessed on a similar basis or by such other means as the
Department(s) offering the class may decide. The nature of re-assessment shall be identified
in Course Handbooks.
Unless prior authority of the relevant Board of Study has been given, students who fail to
satisfy the Board of Examiners at the first assessment for a class shall undertake
reassessment at the first available opportunity and normally within two years of first taking
the class.
Notwithstanding Regulation 16.1.16, Boards of Examiners may exceptionally permit
alternative forms of re-assessment for a class where they consider it to be in a students
interest.
Notwithstanding Regulation 16.1.16, the Board of Examiners may permit a student who
satisfies the attendance and performance requirements of a class a maximum of two further
attempts at passing the class. The Board of Examiners may additionally require a student to
reattend a class.
Notwithstanding Regulation 16.1.16, the relevant Board of Study acting on the
recommendation of the Board of Examiners may discount an attempt for a class where
appropriate medical or other evidence has been provided.
At the discretion of the Board of Examiners or appropriate Head of Department or Course
Director, and, where appropriate, in conjunction with the External Examiner, a student may
be required to attend and participate in an oral examination.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Regulation 16.1.14, a candidate will be permitted to
retake specific classes at Level 4 or 5 to satisfy professional accreditation requirements. In
these circumstances the final classification will be based solely on the students first attempt
at the assessment.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Regulation 16.1.14, a candidate who has taken either the
whole or part of the Level 4 or 5 Curriculum Examination will be permitted to be reassessed in whole or in part where there are medical, personal or other circumstances which
have adversely affected the students performance. In these circumstances, permission may
be granted by the Board of Examiners concerned, subject to a report of any cases to the
relevant Board of Study.
16.1.23
Award of Credits
A student who satisfies the Board of Examiners in a class will be awarded the number of
credits for that class.
16.1.24
Progress of Students
To proceed to the next year of a course, a full-time student must normally accumulate the
minimum number of credits in accordance with the following general framework:

which case these shall be given in the relevant course regulations.
Where a course is available on a non-consecutive basis, progress requirements shall be
specified in the relevant course regulations.
Where credits in particular classes are required for progress, these shall be
specified in the relevant course regulations.
A student studying on a non-consecutive basis shall not normally proceed to the next year of
study with more than 25 credits outstanding.
Subject to prior approval of the Senate, Boards of Study may permit a Board of Examiners
to apply compensation procedures according to prescribed criteria. In such cases, the criteria
shall be detailed in the Course Handbooks.
Transfer of Registration, Suspension and Withdrawal
Where a candidate has failed to satisfy the Board of Examiners, the Board of Study, in
accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Examiners, may
(i)
require that registration be transferred to a degree of Bachelor with Honours or
Degree of Bachelor or Diploma of Higher Education or Certificate of Higher
Education (as appropriate) subject to a related course being available; or
(ii)
suspend a student from attendance at classes but require them to undertake
assessments until the required number of credits and necessary passes have been
obtained to allow the student to proceed to the next level of the course; or
(iii)
terminate the students registration and require the student to withdraw.
Where a candidate for an Integrated Masters degree has satisfied the Board of Examiners
but requests transfer to a degree of Bachelor with Honours, Bachelor or Diploma of Higher
Education or Certificate of Higher Education, the Board of Study, in accordance with the
recommendation of the relevant Head of Department or Course Director or Board of
Examiners, may permit registration to be transferred to a degree of Bachelor with Honours
or Bachelor or Diploma of Higher Education or Certificate of Higher Education (as
appropriate) subject to a related course being available.
Study may permit a student to undertake voluntary suspension for whole or part of an
academic year or transfer between full-time and non-consecutive study where available.
Notwithstanding Regulation 16.1.15, a student who is reported to the relevant Board of
Study under Regulation 16.1.11 or Regulation 5.5.5 for persistent non-attendance at classes,
in accordance with published Faculty procedures, may have their registration terminated and
be required to withdraw from the course.
A student may be required to withdraw from a course as a consequence of academic
dishonesty or unprofessional conduct. Such a decision would be taken in consequence of a
disciplinary hearing as provided for in Regulations 5.4 and 5.5.
Study may approve transfer of a students registration between an Integrated Masters degree
and a
(i)
Certificate of Higher Education;
(ii)
Diploma of Higher Education;
(iii)
degree of Bachelor;
(iv)
degree of Bachelor with Honours
as appropriate, subject to a related course being available.
Classification of Degrees
A student may be awarded a degree, a degree with merit or a degree with distinction.

A candidate who has failed to be placed in one of the classes specified in Regulation 16.1.32
may be transferred to the degree of Bachelor in accordance with Regulation 16.1.31 and
may be granted exemption either in whole or in part from the assessments required for that
degree. The exemption will only be granted when, in the opinion of the Board of Examiners,
evidence of sufficient attainment has been provided.
Appeals Against Transfer of Registration, Suspension, Withdrawal and Degree
Classification
A student who has been required to transfer registration or suspended from attendance at
classes or required to withdraw under the provisions of Regulation 16.1.26 may appeal to
the relevant Board of Study for reconsideration of the case.
A student may appeal to the relevant Board of Study for reconsideration of the classification
of the degree awarded. Such an appeal must be submitted and the outcome of any such
appeal must be decided upon before the student graduates.
The grounds for appeals under Regulations 16.1.34 and 16.1.35 may be any of the
following:
(i)
that there were procedural irregularities in the conduct of the examination or of the
assessment (including alleged administrative error of such a nature as to cause
reasonable doubt as to whether the Board of Examiners would have reached the
same conclusion if the alleged error had not been made); or
(ii)
that there were medical, personal or other circumstances affecting the student's
performance of which the Board of Examiners were not aware when their decision
was taken; or.(iii) that there was inadequate assessment, prejudice or bias on the
part of one or more of the examiners.
Such an appeal shall be lodged in writing with the relevant Faculty Officer no later than a
date specified by the Board of Study and notified in the letter informing the student of the
transfer of registration or suspension or the requirement to withdraw or the degree
classification. The appeal shall be supported by appropriate documentary evidence not
previously available.
A student has an ultimate right of appeal to the Senate normally following an unsuccessful
appeal. Such an appeal shall be lodged in writing with the Deputy Secretary no later than the
beginning of the fifth week of the first semester and shall be supported by all the appropriate
documentary evidence. The student will have a right of appearance, either alone or
accompanied by one person, at the hearing of the appeal to the Senate.
Award
A candidate who satisfies the conditions of the Ordinances governing the award of degrees
and of the general and course regulations will, on payment of the required fees, be entitled
to receive the appropriate Integrated Masters degree. To qualify for the award of the
degree, a candidate must have obtained passes in classes at all levels of the curriculum as

Introduction
The aim of this handbook is to answer the many questions you may have about the different aspects of
studying for a degree at the University Strathclyde. The handbook contains practical information about the
University, the Department and your course of study including course regulations, class syllabi and
departmental procedures. It is an important reference document which will help you ensure that your time
here is organised efficiently and to maximum benefit.
The University
The University of Strathclyde was formed from the Royal College of Science and Technology and the
Scottish College of Commerce, and received its Royal Charter in 1964, both former institutions having had
long traditions of involvement in higher education. In the case of the Royal College this dates back as far as
1796. Since receiving its Charter, the University has thrived on the John Anderson Campus in the city
centre, with four faculties having developed, viz. the Faculties of Science, Engineering, Arts and Social
Sciences and the Business School. In 1993, the University gained a new faculty, the Faculty of Education,
through the merger between the University and the former Jordanhill College. The Faculty of Education is
situated on the Jordanhill Campus, West of the city centre.
55
THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

The Faculty of Engineering is one of the UKs leading centres of engineering education. It is the largest in Scotland,
and among the largest in the UK, and has achieved the highest ratings in official assessments of teaching quality and
research. In addition to links with the Research Councils and the professional Engineering Institutions, the Faculty is
renowned for its close links with industry. Industrial contacts are a major influence on both research programmes and
taught courses, helping to keep the Facultys academic staff at the forefront of their subjects.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General
University
regulations

published
on
the
University
http://www.mis.strath.ac.uk/Secretariat/Publications/general/publications/index.html.
web-site
at
Absence
The following University regulations relating to absence through illness should be noted:Regulation 4.1.10
Students who fail to present themselves for an examination at the time and place published will be
deemed to have forfeited that opportunity to sit the examination; except that in cases of absence
through illness or other sufficient cause the Board of Examiners will take into consideration
documentary evidence in assessing a candidates position.
Regulation 6.4.11
Students must sit all terminal tests and examinations unless prevented by illness in which case a
medical certificate must be produced.
For absences of 7 days or less. Students who have been absent for 7 days or less should record a selfcertification online via PEGASUS using the Personal Circumstances link under the services tab.
For absences of more than 7 days. Where sickness results in absence of more than 7 days, the student is
required to submit a medical certificate to Registry-Engineering. Registry will inform the relevant
Department and, if the absence continues for 14 days or more, the SAAS or relevant grant awarding body.
For absences from an examination or failure to complete assessed coursework. The self-certification
convention does not apply and a student absent from an examination, class test or who fails to submit an
assessment/assignment on time due to sickness must submit a formal medical certificate.
In considering results, the Board of Examiners is concerned to take into account medical or other
circumstances which may have adversely affected a students performance. It is very important that the
University is made aware of such circumstances in writing and, where relevant, with the production of a
medical certificate. Students should provide information on adverse circumstances both to their Adviser of
Study and to Registry-Engineering. They may also find it useful to arrange to see their Counsellor.
Academic Dishonesty
to be read in conjunction with University Regulations 5.4 and 5.6
The University regards academic dishonesty as a serious offence. Allegations of academic dishonesty will
be fairly assessed and appropriate action will then be taken. An allegation that has been dismissed as a
disciplinary offence may still incur an academic penalty for poor scholarship. A record will be kept of any
formal allegations and the outcome of their assessment.
The University is aware that there are a variety of temptations for students to engage in academically
doubtful or dishonest activities during formal examinations, or in relation to assignments, practical work,
dissertations or thesis preparation. In setting assessed assignments of whatever form teaching staff actively
consider how to minimise the opportunities for students to cheat. Promoting a general climate of academic
integrity within the student body is important.
Examples of Academic Dishonesty
a
cheating in written examinations
illicit copying or communicating; possession of

prohibited materials
false candidature
being replaced by a false candidate or impersonating

a candidate
58
collusion
the representation of a piece of unauthorised group

work as the work of a single candidate
commissioning, stealing or acquiring
submitting an assignment done by another person as

the students own work
duplication
the inclusion in coursework of material identical or

substantially similar to material which has already
been submitted for another assessment within the
University
false declaration
making a false declaration in order to receive special

consideration by an Examination Board/Committee
or to obtain extensions to deadlines or exemption
from work
falsification of data
presentation of data in laboratory reports, projects,

etc based on work purported to have been carried out
by the student, which have been invented, altered or
copied by the student
plagiarism
the unacknowledged use of anothers work as if it

were the students own work. Examples, which apply
both to conventional sources and information
downloaded from the internet, are:
i
inclusion of more than a single phrase from anothers

work without the use of quotation marks and
acknowledgement of source;
ii
summarising anothers work by changing a few words

or altering the order of presentation without
acknowledgement;
iii
copying anothers work;
iv
use of anothers ideas without acknowledgement or

the presentation of work which is substantially the
ideas of another.
Academic Appeals Procedure

Procedures for academic appeals to Faculty and Senate Appeal Committees may be found in University
Regulations set down in the Calendar and Faculty guidelines. The grounds for appeal are given below.
An appeal against the transfer of candidature or termination of registration may be made by a student to the
Faculty Board of Study (or Faculty Appeals Committee) on any of the following grounds:
a) that there were procedural irregularities in the conduct of the examination or of the assessment;
b) there were medical, personal or other circumstances affecting the students performance of which the
Examiners were not aware when the decision was taken;
c) that there was inadequate assessment, prejudice or bias on the part of one or more of the examiners or
assessors.
Any such appeal must be supported by documentary evidence and should be submitted in writing to the
Faculty Officer by the deadline stated in the formal examination results letter. Appeals received after the
59
deadline will not be heard, except in extenuating circumstances, and may be too late to be considered for the
next academic year. Final year students who wish to appeal a classification outcome must not graduate in
July as appeals are heard after July graduations.
Students who wish to appeal and who are awaiting medical certificates or doctors letters should write to the
Faculty Office advising of their intent to appeal by the deadline advised when results are issued.
Students have the ultimate right of appeal to Senate.
Your attention is drawn to the following regulations (given in full in Appendix 1 of the Handbook).
Regulation 15.1.12
Every applicant admitted to a course of study shall be required to attend regularly and to perform
satisfactorily the work of each class in their curriculum. A student who, in the opinion of the Head(s)
of the Department(s) (or nominee(s)) offering a class, does not satisfy the requirements as to
attendance and to performance and having been informed in writing, shall not be entitled to take the
examination in the subject of that class. The names of such students shall be reported immediately to
the relevant Board of Study.
A registered student may subsequently be permitted by the Head of Department to take the
examination in the subject of the class at the next available opportunity subject to satisfactory
completion of appropriate coursework.
Students have an obligation to inform the University Registry at the first reasonable opportunity of any
medical or other circumstances which might adversely affect their attendance, performance and/or
ability to study.
This regulations will be applied to all Engineering classes (this includes laboratories, design classes, works
visits, etc., as well as formal lectures and tutorials). Staff responsible for each class will monitor attendance
as appropriate.
Regulations are emphasised for the simple reason that they are in students interests. Poor attendance
makes the course more difficult for you and is usually associated with poor performance. If a student
has to miss classes for any good reason (medical, domestic, etc.) he/she must inform the Departmental
Office in writing.
We do not interpret regular attendance as necessarily meaning 100% attendance. An occasional missed
lecture, for example, is not a problem. Staff responsible for each class will make it clear if your attendance is
heading towards a problem with regard to regulation 15.1.12.
Change of Address
Students are required by Regulation 6.4.9 to notify Registry of any change in your permanent home or termtime addresses. Registry sends at least four letters to each undergraduate and two to each postgraduate
student every year. It is therefore important that they have the correct home and term-time addresses.
Students can update their personal details on the University website http://pegasus.strath.ac.uk
Counselling Scheme
A student counselling scheme exists within the Faculty of Engineering, the objectives of which are to create
an environment where students are able to discuss freely and in confidence any academic or personal matter.
Staff can provide advice either personally or, if the student is agreeable, through another specialist member
of staff. Few students encounter substantial difficulties but for those who do it is hoped that the scheme will
ensure their academic welfare and encourage satisfactory progress with their studies.
The success of the scheme depends on the participation of both staff and students. Students are encouraged
to see their counsellor at least once every semester, even if only to confirm that all is well.
60
Equal Opportunities
The University of Strathclyde confirms its commitment to a policy of equal opportunities within the
University. It aims to create the conditions whereby students and staff are treated on the basis of their relative
merits, abilities and potential, regardless of their gender, colour, ethnic or national origin, family
circumstance, age, disability, religious or political beliefs, socio-economic background, sexual orientation,
trade union membership or other irrelevant distinction.
The University is committed to a programme of action to eradicate unfair and discriminatory practices as far
as it is within the University's power to do so, and to ensure that this policy be fully effective.
Both the University and the Students Association have an Equal Opportunities Officer from whom copies of
these policies (including procedures for complaints about sexual or racial harassment) and other information
and advice on equal opportunities can be obtained. They can be contacted as follows:
Janice Lee, Personnel Office, David Stow Building, Jordanhill Campus, Ext 3195
Avril Honan, Students Association, 567 5008
The Faculty Equal Opportunities Officer is Dr David Nash, d.nash@strath.ac.uk (Ext 2313)
The University has a network of trained harassment advisers who can give confidential help, support and
advice to anyone who feels they are being subjected to harassment. A list of advisers can be obtained from
the offices mentioned above.
Exam Information
Exam Boards
There are two types of Examination Board: the Final Year Honours Board and the General Board.
The Final Year (or Honours) Board of Examiners meets in June to review the performance of all final year
students. A decision is made at the Board on the class of degree to be awarded to each student. Subsequent
to the meeting of the Final Year Board results are made available to individual students via PEGASUS.
The MEng may be awarded with Distinction or with Merit.
Students can graduate from the BEng or BSc degree with one of five classifications of degrees:
First Class Honours
Second Class Honours (Upper Division)
Second Class Honours (Lower Division)
Third Class Honours
Pass
The General Board of Examiners considers the performance of all students other than those in the final year.
The General Board meets first in late June, and analyses students performance in all degree examinations
(whether taken in the First or Second Semester). The Board makes one of the following decisions:
A Clear Pass The student has no re-sits and should proceed to the next year of study.
May Proceed The student may proceed to the next year of the course, but should take re-sits in those classes
which (s)he has failed.
Withdraw The student will be instructed to withdraw from the course.
Re-sit (June Board only). The student should take re-sit examinations in August, after which a decision will
be made on possible progress to the next year of study.
Do Not Proceed (September Board only). The student has not satisfied the requirements for progress to the
next year of his/her course and will be required to enter academic suspension. (S)he may take re-sit
examinations in the coming Session.
61
Reattend The student has not satisfied the requirements for progress to the next year of his course. (S)he is
required to reattend the current year (for which the standard tuition fee will be charged) before a further
decision will be made by the Board regarding progress.
Overseas Semester(s) (June Board only): the student has taken part in an overseas exchange and some or all
of his/her marks are not yet available.
Unusual circumstances dictate that the student should receive a Special Letter, outlining his/her academic
position as determined by the Examiners.
Transfer - The student will be transferred to another course. This can be qualified by a decision of Transfer + Suspend or Transfer and Resit.
An MEng or BEng/BSc Honours student may be transferred from an MEng to BEng Hons stream or from a
BEng Hons to BEng/BSc Pass stream if the student is not performing at a high enough level.
In addition to making one of the decisions above, the Board may decide:
Either
i
to caution a student whose performance has been poor. In this case, the Faculty Officer or other
attending administrator will inform the student that this poor performance gives cause for concern, and
advise him/her to consult his/her Counsellor.
or
ii
to warn a student that (s)he has almost exhausted their attempts at a class and that (s)he will have just
one further opportunity to obtain a pass.
Exams and Resit Attempts

If a student does not pass a particular examination then it is essential to resit outstanding examinations at the
next examination diet or at the next available opportunity (or complete supplementary work to a satisfactory
standard) so that eventually the total credits required for the final degree can be accumulated.
Note that though exam boards normally allow undergraduates two attempts to gain a particular credit (or
submit supplementary work), such attempts must be at two consecutive offerings of the examination. It
should also be noted that the marks used to determine the final honours or MEng grading mark are based on
those obtained at the first examination attempt.
Medical Certificates and Impaired Performance
If a student believes that their academic performance has been impaired due to medical or personal
circumstances they should inform their department and attach supporting evidence such as a doctors note.
The department will copy the form to the relevant Course Director and Registry.
If a student is unable to attend the University due to illness a medical certificate is required. The type of
certificate depends on the duration of the illness and whether the student misses an examination or some
other form of assessment. Please refer to the section on Absence for the University rules.
Use of Calculators in Exams
The introduction into the examination room and the use of calculators, computers and similar items is
permissible only if they are used in a way compatible with Regulations 4.3.1 and 4.3.4 (see below).
Candidates are not permitted to share the use of such items.
Regulation 4.3.1.
Communication between candidates, or between a candidate and anyone other

than an examiner or invigilator, is forbidden during an examination.
Regulation 4.3.4
Candidates are permitted to introduce into the examination room only the
following items of a learning or reference nature:
i)
dictionaries as permitted by Regulation 4.2:
62
ii)
material identified on the relevant question paper as necessary or

permissible:
iii) material certified as permissible to meet a special academic or physical
need.
Exams Outwith the University
It is a University Regulation (4.1.3) that All examinations shall take place at the University, or in the case of
a class taught elsewhere, at the appropriate learning centre. In exceptional circumstances and at the request
of the Head of Department responsible for the candidates course of study, the Deputy Secretary may
authorise arrangements for examinations to be held elsewhere, subject to the payment by the candidate of
any necessary costs.
All students are expected to attend for examination at the University of Strathclyde on the dates and times
posted. Only exceptionally will permission be given for students to sit examinations outwith the University.

Faculty Policy on Teaching and Learning

The Faculty of Engineering adheres to all the University policies, procedures and guidelines on
undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and learning that can be found at
http://www.mis.strath.ac.uk/Secretariat/Publications/general/procedures/index.html
In addition the Faculty has an excellent reputation for innovation in teaching and learning and examples of
this can be found in all Departments. In 2004 the Faculty had extensive consultations with students drawn
from the majority of Departments and this has resulted in the following Faculty policies being endorsed by
the Board of Study for implementation in academic year 2006-07 onwards.
1.
Departments should ensure coursework is returned to students within the semester and ideally within
2 weeks from the submission date.
2.
Worked examples to past examination papers should be provided
3.
WebCT should continue to be developed and staff should be encouraged to undertake training and
move to wider usage.
4.
Industrial lectures should be quality checked and only included where the material is clearly related
to course content.
5.
Industrial visits should be focused on application, clearly structured with explicit expectations and
outcomes, and subject to evaluation.
Fee Payments and Grants

UK students applying for support from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) or a Local
Education Authority (LEA) are expected to submit applications to the relevant award agency at the earliest
opportunity.
Students from the European Union registered for an undergraduate degree course can also apply to the SAAS
for fee support, but are not able to apply for UK student loans.
Graduation
Award Ceremonies (or Congregations) are held in June/July and October/November each year. All students
63
hoping to graduate or be presented must enrol to graduate by completing a form and paying the appropriate
fee. Details of the ceremonies and enrolment forms are usually available from Registry in March each year.
Race Equality Policy
The University of Strathclyde believes strongly in the principle of equal treatment between persons
irrespective of racial or ethnic origin and values and recognises that a diverse staff and student group
contributes to its continued achievement of excellence in teaching and research.
Discrimination on grounds of race is unacceptable, and everyone who has the ability and the desire to pursue
education should have the chance to do so regardless of their race.
The Universitys Race Equality Policy forms part of the Universitys policy on equal opportunities for staff
and students, and sets out our aims to tackle racial discrimination and take active steps to promote equality of
opportunity and good race relations among its staff and students and members of the public who come in
contact with the institution.
The Race Equality Policy is available on the Universitys web-site at
http://www.strath.ac.uk/about/policies/raceequalitypolicy/
Registry Engineering
Registry Engineering is based on the ground floor of the McCance Building. All changes to classes/courses
must be notified to Registry. For the first few weeks of each semester it is normally possible to make
changes via Pegasus. If, after that, further changes are required, it is imperative that curriculum change
forms which can be obtained from the Registry web site, are completed and signed by your Year Advisor.
Hours of opening are:
During term time:
During undergraduate vacations:
Monday-Friday: 1030 to 1600 hours

Opening hours are limited to 1300 to 1500 hours daily.
Outwith these times, information and forms are available on a stand outside the Registry and much of the
information/forms you may require are available on the Registry website at:
http://www.strath.ac.uk/Departments/registry
Sponsorship
Student sponsorship is reasonably common within the Departments in the Engineering Faculty. The
advantage of sponsorship is that a company will usually supplement a students income and offer
employment in the summer vacation; there may also be the possibility of graduate employment on
completion of his/her studies. Students in 1st, 2nd or 3rd year may find it worthwhile to spend some time
identifying companies willing to offer sponsorship. Look out for companies advertising that they operate a
sponsorship scheme check the notices in the Departments, the Careers Library or newspapers. If you are
unsure whether a particular company operates a sponsorship scheme, write to their Personnel Manager,
requesting information.
Student Complaints
The following is an edited copy of the University's formal student complaints procedure:
The University of Strathclyde endeavours to provide all students with an environment which is educationally
supportive, fair and intellectually challenging and where services are provided in an efficient and friendly
manner. However, we acknowledge that problems can occur from time to time. When they do or when
you are not satisfied that we have acted in accord with our policies and standards we would ask you to let us
know as soon as possible using the procedures described below.
Academic Matters
In partnership with each student, the University undertakes to identify and supervise an approved programme
of study and to make a fair assessment of each student's performance at each key stage of their programme.
Details of specific study and assessment programmes and criteria for assessment are contained in this
Handbook. Academic Departments frequently invite feedback from students through questionnaires and
64
Staff/Student Committees.
Administrative or Academic Support Services
Most departments which provide Administrative or Academic Support Services for students issue a written
account of the services they provide. Services are resource limited but each Department aims to provide an
efficient and friendly service.
Some have published specific performance standards as part of the
Administration's Customer Care Programme. All encourage feedback from students as an input to assigning
priorities for development.
Discrimination, Harassment or Intimidation
Please refer to the paragraph on Equal Opportunities.
How can you make a complaint or appeal against an academic decision?
If a student is dissatisfied with an academic decision, concerning for example, assessment grades, progress,
awards or classification of awards, they can ask for an explanation from those providing the course. If they
remain unhappy with the outcome, they may appeal to the Faculty and Senate Appeals Committees by
writing to the Faculty Officer or Academic Registrar above. Details of grounds for appeal are given in the
Academic Appeals section and the University Calendar.
If a student is dissatisfied with other academic matters or administrative support services in the University
they can ask for an explanation from those providing the Course or the Service. The SUSA Vice President
(Welfare) may be able to assist in making initial approaches. If they remain unhappy with the reply given, a
formal written complaint may be made to the Head of the Academic or Administrative Department or
Service.
If a student believes that they are the subject of discrimination or harassment they may seek help from one of
the following: a Designated Harassment Adviser, the Student Advisory and Counselling Service, the
Students' Association, a University Chaplain, Academic Counsellor or Adviser of Studies. International
students can also seek help from the International Students Adviser.
Should the student remain dissatisfied with the response they receive from a Head of Department or Service
or feel unable to put their case to them, the student can pursue the matter further:
a)
in the case of complaints about academic matters, by writing to the Dean of the Faculty
concerned;
b)
in the case of complaints about services or about discrimination or harassment, by writing to

the Secretary of the University.
How will Complaints be Dealt with?

Students have a right to complain without fear of recrimination and to expect that their formal written
complaint will be considered in confidence and fairly by an unbiased reviewer(s). This may be the Head of
Department, the Dean or the University Secretary themselves or their nominees. The reviewer may consult
with other unbiased advisers as appropriate. Procedures for complaints about sexual or racial harassment are
set out in the University's policy statement available from the Equal Opportunities Officer in the Personnel
Office.
For other formal written complaints a student will, as a minimum, be accorded an opportunity to submit
written evidence. Depending on the seriousness of the complaint you they also be accorded an opportunity
to have a personal interview with the reviewer, and/or to invoke witnesses and/or to have a full hearing in
accordance with the principles of natural justice.
The reviewer will investigate your complaint fully; will make an initial response to the student within seven
days; will inform you regularly of the progress of investigations and will advise the student of the outcome
as soon as practicable.

Undergraduate Framework
In 2003/4, the University launched a new framework for undergraduate study which applies to all new
students from 2003/4 onwards. For new first year students, each class taken will normally have a value of
ten credits. For students who started their course before 2003/4, classes will normally be worth 1 credit.
New students will require a total of 460 credits for an Honours degree while students who joined the

Statement of Health and Safety Policy

It is the policy of the University of Strathclyde to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the
health, safety and welfare at work of all its employees in accordance with relevant statutory
requirements.
It is the policy of the University to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and
welfare of its students while they are engaged in activities which are under the supervision of the
University.
The University will also afford, so far as is reasonably practicable, the same safety and health
assurances to those members of the general public who have access to the University property.
The policy stated above will be enacted through the following:
(1)
a Health and Safety Policy document which includes the Universitys arrangements and
organisation for health and safety; (a summary of the Policy is distributed to all staff.)
(2)
Local Safety Rules as are approved by the University Court, and issued to departments, for
appropriate distribution.
(3)
Departmental Safety Regulations.
(4)
University Safety Services Guidance Notes.
It is the duty of all staff and students to abide by the said Policy, Rules and Regulations.
6.5.5
Within the general policy stated above, it is the Universitys policy in particular:
(1)
to provide and maintain accommodation, equipment, services and systems of work which
are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health;
(2)
to make arrangements for ensuring, so far as is reasonably practicable, safety and absence of
risks to health in connection with the use, handling, storage and transport of articles and
substances;
(3)
to provide such information, instruction, training and/or supervision as is necessary to

ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of the persons detailed
above;
(4)
to provide and maintain such protective equipment and clothing as is necessary to ensure, so
far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of employees, students,
contractors and visitors.
(5)
to provide and maintain such protective equipment and clothing as is necessary to ensure, so
far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of its staff (and students);
(6)
to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of all health and safety provisions,
including this Health and Safety Policy, and to ensure the Policy is regularly reviewed and
revised;
to encourage staff to set a high standard of safety by personal example in order that students
leaving the University should take with them an attitude of mind which accepts good safety
practice as normal;
(7)
6.5.6
(8)
to ensure that those significant risks intrinsic to the Universitys undertaking are identified
and appropriately controlled. Efficient and effective risk assessment is the cornerstone of
this process;
(9)
to consult with recognised Trades Unions and any appointed workers representatives with
regard to all significant health and safety issues within the University
In pursuance of this policy and to ensure efficient and effective communication and consultation
with Trades Unions (and other works) safety representatives, the University has established the
73
6.5.7
6.5.8
Statutory Advisory Committee on Safety and Occupational Health. This Committee advises the
University Court on all matters relating to safety in the University and oversees the implementation
of the Universitys Safety Policy.
The University has appointed a University Safety Adviser (Head of Safety Services), and a
Biological Adviser. The latter is responsible, through the Head of Safety Services, to the Secretary
to the University. The University has also appointed a consultant Radiation Protection Adviser and
Occupational Health Adviser who are directed and managed by the Head of Safety Services.
The University expects all staff and students to contribute to the maintenance of this Policy by
adhering to such regulations as are in force, and by reporting hazards, accidents and inadequacies in
the working environment to the appropriate member of the departmental management (If in doubt,
contact the Departmental Safety Convener). Each member of staff has a personal and legal
responsibility (under section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974) for their own health
and safety and for the health and safety of those who may be affected by their activities. Any
member of staff contravening any aspects of the Universitys written Health and Safety Policy and
Local Rules may be subject to University disciplinary procedures (and possibly legal action). It is
also an offence for any person (including students) to interfere with or misuse anything that is
provided in the interests of safety.
Safety of Undergraduates
6.6.21 Undergraduates should be assumed to be initially untrained in all matters of health and safety.
Academic staff, therefore, have a duty to instruct students, so far as is reasonably practicable, in all
matters necessary to ensure their health and safety while working in University premises, on
fieldwork exercises and during their studies outwith the University, for example, placements. It may
be that non-academic staff who are suitably trained in the appropriate techniques have a role to play
in the supervision of undergraduate students. However, the legal responsibility for the overall
supervision of undergraduate students rests with the particular academic member of staff with
responsibility for the students studies. Potentially hazardous equipment should not be used by
undergraduates unless adequate protective devices are in operation. Where such safeguards are not
reasonably practicable, appropriate specific training must be given before the operation of such
equipment is allowed (all such work must be adequately supervised).
No substances shall be introduced into practical work for undergraduates unless the risks associated
with it and the work have been assessed. Where reliable information is not available the substances
should be regarded as potentially dangerous and treated with appropriate precautions. Written
instructions to undergraduates in their practical work must draw attention to the risk of using
hazardous substances and equipment and the precautions which must be taken.
Work away from University Premises
6.6.22 On occasion, staff or students may be expected , by the University, to work away from University
premises, for example, students on placement (please see Local Rules on Safety Requirements for
the Placement of Students), staff working in the public or private sectors or fieldwork. It is
extremely important to remember that, in these circumstances, the University continues to have a
legal obligation towards the health and safety of the staff or students involved.
6.6.22 To discharge this obligation, steps must be taken (so far as is reasonably practicable) to verify that
health and safety management is of an appropriate standard and taken seriously by the person(s) or
company in control of any premises where University staff (and students) will be working and that
any risks to which University staff (and students) are liable to be exposed are being adequately
controlled.
