Abstract

This paper describes a method of recognising and assessing learning at Masters Level alongside the monitoring of engineering competence development in the work-place. For successful participants in the programme the outcomes lead to a Masters Degree and recognition as Chartered Engineers in the United Kingdom. It concentrates on the monitoring of professional development and competence assessment through the work of appointed Professional Supervisors.
