A curriculum model for transferable skills development

This paper presents a model of curriculum development which can be adapted to fit a teaching framework for developing skills at undergraduate level. The model presented is based upon research conducted in the field of engineering and is promoted here as a theoretical model of best practice for developing skills by providing a holistic view of skills development throughout the curricula. It shows how a progression of implemented strategies is required to complement undergraduate progression from dependent to autonomous learning. The model is jargon-free, which should augment its appeal within engineering and in other disciplines.
