Learning Objectives

Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study.

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.

Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles.

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, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.

Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems

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

Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD.

Skills

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

Plan self-learning and improve performance, as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD.

Plan and carry out a personal programmes of work, adjusting where appropriate.

Assessment
