I have been through the documentation and find that the requested alterations and issues have been resolved except for the following:

42.3.2 The Department's proposal that the SEDC Research and Training panel takes the decision is satisfactory.  Students will need to be informed that this process exists in formal documentation.

42.3.3 The Department's proposal that the decision is recorded in the minutes of the SEDC Research and Training panel is satisfactory but it is suggested that the Postgraduate Office is informed of the outcomes.

42.3.4 The Department’s response is acceptable.  However, it is recommended that the AD(R) Engineering's comment that there should be a review of the relationship between the taught component of the EngDoc, research training modules and MRes in a year’s time be taken forward.

42.4.8 Programme Specification, Section 6, paras 3 & 4: insert a normally, 'candidates must NORMALLY have'. This is to align with section 4 where credit totals of 178-184 are permitted.

42.4.14Since the Programme Regulations of the Advanced Engineering MSc cannot be simply amended to include the modules taken by the EngDoc students a new title is needed before LTC can approve the documentation for Senate.

The existing EngDoc in Civil & Building Engineering requires a new set of Programme Regulations and Programme Specification for the new entry that will have the MSc as an exit award only.  It is recommended that the revised documentation should follow the model agreed for the Systems EngDoc.
