(Award available for year: Master of Engg & Bach of Engg)
Subject Specific Learning Outcomes
On completion of the year students should have provided evidence of being able to:
1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering.
2. Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions. This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.
3. Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
4. Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address complex problems.
5. Design solutions for complex problems that evidence some originality and meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
6. Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems (to include the entire life-cycle of a product or process) and minimise adverse impacts.
7. Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct.
8. Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity.
9. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance.
10. Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used.
Skills Learning Outcomes
Communication, Time management, Collaboration, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking, Acting learning, Academic Integrity, Personal management
Achievement will be assessed by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the modules specified for the year/programme and may include written examinations, in-class and online tests, problem sheets, assignments, and coursework in the form of projects, reports, presentations and posters.
