Practical Communication Skills for the Workplace. You will be required to:

• Present oral information on a complex vocational issue• Contribute to a formal group discussion on a complex vocational issue.
The "Engineering project" is worth 2 credits. However when taking the project we encourage the student to also take the " Communications" module (1 credit) and the "Information Technology Applications 2" module (1 credit) at the same time. The reason being there is a lot of overlap and there is no point in doing repeat work; wordprocessing, spreadsheet, etc...... Thus when taking the project you are taking 4 credits. Also in many cases, this HNC project is used as the foundation of the B.Eng project, later on.
The presentation (communications module element) is usually done in front of your industrial supervisor/employer.
