2 1 Introduction The following report to Academic Council is a validation panel report from an expert panel of assessors on a proposal from the Department of Applied Sciences at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) to develop a Diploma in Food Supply Chain Management. The evaluators would like to thank the members of the development team for engaging generously and openly with the review process. The report is divided into the following sections: Background to Proposed Programme General Findings of the Validation Panel Programme-Level Findings Module-Level Findings 2 Background to Proposed Programme The Food and Beverage sector is one of the largest sectors in Ireland from the viewpoint of both production and consumption. Its handling within the supply chain is vital to the Irish economy. Globalization of the food industry requires increased transportation of raw materials and finished goods. The proposed programme will provide graduates with the opportunity to develop supply chain management skills, which have been identified as a major skills gap in the Food and Beverages Sector. Graduates will be able to critically evaluate the concepts and theories that underpin business and international management and the pivotal role played by internationalisation strategies in the creation and maintenance of a viable business. They will be able to demonstrate the capability required to work in a multi-disciplinary team including scientific and business personnel. The Department of Applied Sciences has consulted with the Food and Beverage industry, particularly with the more than 100 companies in the region, to ensure that the content and learning outcomes of academic programmes remain relevant to industry. In a recent survey of the Food Industry in the N.E. region, 93% of respondents indicated that business skills were of relevance to science graduates, 87% that supply chain management skills were relevant or very relevant and all respondents indicated that quality management was relevant or very relevant. The proposed programme is aligned to skills gaps identified in recent publications on skills gaps in the Food and Beverage Sector including: Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food (2011): Food Harvest: A vision for agrifood & fisheries. Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food (2011): Annual Review and Outlook for Agriculture, Fisheries & Food 2010/2011 Bord Bia (2011): Export Performance and Prospects Page 2/13
3 Forfas (2009): Expert Group on Future Skills Needs. Future Skills Requirements for the Food and Beverage Sector. The Certificate in Food Supply Chain Management was awarded funding as part of the Springboard1 2011/12 initiative as a one-semester programme. As a response to demand from the current cohort of students on the Certificate programme, the proposed Diploma programme includes an industry work placement module and increases the total credits for the programme from 30 to General Findings of the Validation Panel The panel would like to commend the programme development team for the quality of their submission and particularly for the collaborative and cross-departmental nature of the programme design and development. The engagement and commitment of the team was evident on the day of the validation panel. Also, the rationale and demand for the programme were clearly established and articulated. The programme has been designed to meet the needs of industry and the skills gap has been identified and mapped to programme modules. Having considered the documentation provided and discussed it with the programme development team, the validation panel recommends the approval of the Diploma in Food Supply Chain Management to the Academic Council of Dundalk Institute of Technology for the next five academic years or until the next programmatic review, whichever occurs sooner. Approval is conditional on the submission of a revised programme document that takes account of the conditions and recommendations outlined below and a response document describing the actions of the Department to address the conditions and recommendations made by the programme validation panel. In this report, the term Condition is used to indicate an action or amendment which in the view of the validation panel must be undertaken prior to the commencement of the programme. Conditions are mandatory if the programme is to be approved. The term Recommendation indicates an item to which the Programme Board should give serious consideration for implementation at an early stage and which should be the subject of on-going monitoring. 4 Programme-Level Findings This section of the report addresses the following programme level considerations: Demand Award Institute strategy alignment Entry requirements Access, transfer and progression Standards and Outcomes Programme structure Page 3/13
4 Teaching and Learning Strategies Assessment Strategy Resource requirements Quality assurance. 4.1 Demand Is there a convincing need for the programme and has evidence been provided to support it? 4.2 Award Is the level and type of the award appropriate? Recommendation: The panel recommends that the programme development team consider re-classifying the programme as a Special-Purpose Award rather than a Supplemental Award. According to QQI/HETAC guidelines, a Special-Purpose Award is given for relatively narrow or purposespecific achievement. A Supplemental Award is given for learning that is additional to a Major Award. 4.3 Institute Strategy Alignment Is the proposed programme aligned to the Institute s strategy and are the strategic themes of entrepreneurship, sustainability and internationalisation embedded in the proposed programme as appropriate? 4.4 Entry Requirements Are the entry requirements for the proposed programme clear and appropriate?, subject to certain recommendation(s) Recommendation: The process for RPL (Recognised-Prior Learning) needs to be included in the programme documentation.

See (HETAC (2009) Assessment and Standards, Section 4.6.1, page 33). Accordingly the assessment strategy should address the following (See (HETAC (2009) Assessment and Standards, Section 2.2.5, page 13) : Description and Rationale for the choice of assessment tasks, criteria and procedures. This should address fairness and consistency, specifically their validity, reliability and authenticity; Describe any special regulations; Regulate, build upon and integrate the module assessment strategies; Provide contingent strategy for cases where learners claim exemption from modules, including recognition of prior learning; Ensure the programme s continuous assessment workload is appropriately balanced; Relate to the teaching and learning strategy; Demonstrate how grading criteria will be developed to relate to the Institutional grading system.

Failed elements and re-assessment strategy should also be detailed. The current module is assessed on a Pass/Fail basis. The panel recommends that the programme team consider using a numerical grade for the assessment of this module. Recommendations: The consistency of the module learning outcomes should be reviewed as part of the current programmatic review process that the School of Health and Science is engaged in. Page 10/13
11 The learning outcomes in the Food Industry Work Placement module should be strengthened to reflect how this 30 ECTS module will equip students for industry. The modules on the programme should incorporate ethical issues. 5.2 Other Findings None. Validation Panel Report Approved By: Signed: Mr. Billy Bennett, Chairperson. Date: 5 June 2013 Page 11/13
