Lonely Wolf
Engineers in SMEs
Centre for continuing education for engineers
mixture of methods used including providing industry based courses, short courses and some elearning.
Also have a role on developing learning outcomes with enterprises. Within 'method development unit ' provide teacher training for those going out to provide training in industry.

Lonely Wolf Project
aimed at engineers working in SME who may also take on other non-engineer roles such as environmental officer. Finding the right continuing education is difficult and being freed from the workplace to attend classes is difficult.
Goal was to provide CPD for engineers and also to promote local networks.
Individual Learning Contract negotiated from SWOT analysis and daily tasks. Once contract agreed then will be used to track progress.
96 participants
skills identified across a range of areas. One on one sessions will be done during project but longterm might be more coming to uni.

most of the professors enjoy getting out, voluntary participation .
Post project continuity? project probably not, but in the university yes can see facilitated WBL continuing.
