Learning Objectives

Apply a comprehensive 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.

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.

Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.

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.

Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems.

Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations.

Skills

Apply their skills in problem solving, communication, information retrieval, working with others and the effective use of general IT facilities.
