This module supports engineering students in developing essential workplace skills through practical, work-based learning. A key focus is placed on the effective use of Microsoft Office tools—particularly Excel and Word—for engineering tasks such as data analysis, technical reporting, and project documentation. Students will learn to create structured, professional documents and use spreadsheets to manage and interpret engineering data efficiently.In addition to technical proficiency, the module emphasises the importance of digital security in the modern workplace. Students will explore best practices for handling sensitive information, protecting digital assets, and understanding the implications of cybersecurity breaches in engineering contexts.By integrating digital tools with workplace awareness, this module enhances students’ readiness for professional environments, supports their ongoing development, and contributes to their overall employability.Employers are expected to support the design of the assessment based on their requirements - this will involve data and understanding how the company will use Excel and handle data / security the student will then work and manipulate this information into the assessments.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate a proficiency in using Microsoft Excel and Word to support engineering tasks such as data analysis, technical reporting, and project documentation.

LO2: Apply digital communication and documentation skills in a professional engineering context, producing clear, accurate, and well-structured work outputs.

LO3: Identify best practices in digital security, including safe data handling, secure file management, and awareness of cybersecurity risks in the workplace.
