Engineering course secures prestigious accreditation
Robert Gordon University’s Graduate Apprenticeship in BEng (Hons) Engineering: Instrumentation, Measurement and Control has been accredited by the Institute of Measurement & Control (InstMC).
This recognition is said to highlight the programme’s commitment to delivering high-quality, industry-relevant education, equipping apprentices with the essential skills and expertise needed in today’s evolving industrial landscape.
The GA course provides the student with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to become successful professional engineers within process related industries. Students will learn how to apply their knowledge and skills to the solution of real-world problems of designing, operating, and maintaining industrial plants and equipment.
Dr Judith Abolle, Head of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the School of Computing, Engineering and Technology, said: “This prestigious recognition underscores the quality, industry relevance, and rigorous academic standards of the program, ensuring that our apprentices are equipped with innovative skills and knowledge for today’s rapidly evolving industries. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, from our dedicated course leader to the industry professionals who collaborated with us throughout the process. Together, we are shaping the future of engineering excellence.”
James Philp, Course Leader for GA Instrumentation, Measurement and Control, said: “The recognition provided to this course by the InstMC clearly demonstrates quality of both the teaching we at RGU provide and that of the graduates we produce. This achievement now makes this course the premier choice in the field of Instrumentation, Measurement, & Control across the whole of Scotland.”
A spokesperson for InstMC said: “”The Chair of the Accreditation Committee of the Institute noted that the Accreditation Panel was particularly impressed with the excellent student support provided, and the well provisioned dedicated laboratories. Additionally, the Student Individual Learning Plans produced at the start of each Module, and the tripartite mentoring that students received from academics, industrial members and other students, were commended.”Reply
