The Management Charter Initiative
The background to the Management Charter Initiative (MCI) and its relationship to National Vocational Qualifications are described. An assessment is made of the MCI approach and the author's experience of a Certificate in Management course
Action Learning Projects For Management Development
The origins and characteristics of Action Learning together with some of its uses in business/industry and education are described. Methods of assessment for Action Learning projects in education are suggested. The approach to Action Learning in courses at the Middlesex University Business School are used to illustrate the wealth creating aspects of the Action Learning process
Personality Profiles and Selection for Courses
16PF Personality profiles for 364 young civil engineers have been compared to the British Norms for the 16PF Questionnaire. Civil Engineers differ from the British Norms on five of the 20 factors derived from the Questionnaire. These factors indicate the questions on which to concentrate when selecting students for civil engineering courses
Diagnostic Tests and Examination Results
The possibility of using diagnostic tests was explored and several tests were used with civil engineering students to see if they would be useful in selecting students for the civil engineering degree course. The performance of students on the tests used was compared with the examination results and it was found that the tests showed a little promise. It will be necessary to design a test specifically for civil engineering students. On the other …
The Personality Profiles of Civil Engineering Students
The importance of determining the personality profile of the civil engineering profession is stressed. Personality profiles for civil engineering students have been determined and compared with those of other subject areas. The personality factors were also compared with the examination performance in order to determine the extent to which penonality factors are significant in the civil engineering degree course. It was not possible to separate t…
Developing Creative Problem Solving in Civil Engineering
The development of creative problem solving in a civil engineering degree course since the late 1960s is outlined. It is shown that prior to the Finniston Report, Middlesex Polytechnic had begun to educate civil engineers to meet an ever changing world. The results of a psychological testing programme confirm that it is possible to increase the creative ability of students during a civil engineering degree course. An attempt is made to predict th…
