DESCRIPTION:Judith Shawcross from Manufacturing Industry Education Researc
 h Group (MIERG) is going to share her research work linking ISMM short ind
 ustrial placements and manufacturing teaching and learning.  The seminar s
 ummary is the following:\n\nShort Industrial placements – a framework to
  support teaching and learning\n\nShort industrial placements\, where grou
 ps of students tackle a real company issue in the workplace\, are key feat
 ures of IfM programmes in both the Industrial Systems Manufacturing and Ma
 nagement (ISMM) MPhil\nprogramme and the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos 
 (MET). As part of doctoral research to identify how students can be suppor
 ted in developing complex work place related skills during Higher Educatio
 n\, an\nevidence based framework of key activities has been developed.\n\n
 An action research approach was used in collaboration with the ISMM cohort
  and tutors of 2012-2013. Four action research cycles were used to enable 
 the development of the framework over the four rounds of short industrial 
 placements used in ISMM.\n\nThis framework describes a short industrial pl
 acement in terms of seventeen broad activity groups.  Twelve are related t
 o specific process stages from ‘making sense of the placement brief’ t
 o ‘submitting the\nplacement report’ \, a further two activity groups 
 capture the ‘management’ aspects of placements and the final three rel
 ate to generic activity groups that underpin the whole placement. Each act
 ivity group\nis then broken down into a number of key activities resulting
  in a more detailed level framework.\n\nThe challenges are now to use this
  framework to support both teaching and student learning for ISMM\, to see
  if it represents other short industrial placements used in other programm
 es and to continue research into more generic components that remain un-ca
 ptured in a useful format.\n\nFor further details contact Judith Shawcross
