The aim of this programme is to provide the learner with a knowledge of process engineering management in a manufacturing environment. A learner will be able to evaluate process types, designs, layouts, process analysis, forecasting of product, capacity planning while ascertaining a knowledge of current technologies and automation used in the manufacturing. In semester two, the focus will be on software validation in a manufacturing or software environment. To evaluate software validation approaches, models, development, implementation, testing and maintenance of validated software. The importance and application of validation management, reporting and risk management in a manufacturing/software environment will be defined and evaluated.
This Graduate Certificate of Science is delivered online and designed as part of an innovative multi-tiered programme to address the needs and requirements of industry-based learners and making education more accessible. It is designed so that learners can opt to select the module streams individually as Special Purpose Awards, complete three of the module streams to attain a Level 9 Graduate Diploma or opt for the Level 9 Masters of Science.
The course will provide students with critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, professionalism and management techniques will be key areas covered by the programme.

Delivery
This programme will run 100% online from September 2022 to June 2023.
Number of Weeks: 12 weeks per semester
Number of Days/Evenings per week: One
Delivery Day/Evening: Semester 1 Monday, Semester 2 Thursday (subject to change).
Number of Hours per day/evening: 3 hours
Times: 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Lectures will be delivered 100% online via Moodle/MSTeams. Lectures will be recorded and available to watch back.
What will the time commitment be?
Each 5 credits will normally equate to approximately 100 Total Learning Hours. Total Learning Hours includes the time you spend in class (lectures, tutorials, practical elements) and the time you spend completing work outside of college. The balance between these two varies by discipline, and by level of study. You should bear in mind that the workload will increase at particular times e.g. when assignments are due.
Assessment
As assessments will be 100% Continuous Assessment and mainly industry based, learners are required to engage with industry and industry representatives in various cross disciples through continuous assessment and industry-based projects. This will prepare learners to be industry ready and apply the transferable skills gained through module content, industry engagement, and strengthened by industry-based assessments.
Students will be assessed on their learning by a variety of strategies including:
- The use of continuous assessment through projects, coursework, multiple choice questions, e-tivities, presentations and assignments. 100% Continuous assessment i.e., NO terminal examinations.
Qualification
Certificate of Science in Computer Systems Validation (Level 9, 20 ECTS)
