Title: Innovative Developments in Engineering Co-operative Education Practice for the Pandemic & Post Pandemic Periods
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic significantly hampered the structured approach to integrating engineering classroom learning with on-site work experiences. Students initially were experiencing negative emotions due to the uncertainty of getting physical placements or work experience with relevant opportunities to integrate classroom learning with engineering designing requirements because of the unavailability of companies with the relevant trades.
These challenges and opportunities have led to creative ideas and approaches to solve the physical placement modality problem to include innovative developments in alterative assessment of the industrial work experience programme for final year students during the first two years of the pandemic. The solutions implemented are relevant for both pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Over 50 students have participated in the alterative assessment programme to physical industrial work experience and have successfully completed the programme. Graduates that were on the programme have transitioned into competitive jobs without any major challenges.
