Learning outcomes

A. Apply and integrate knowledge from engineering and non-engineering
disciplines to support design.
B. Assess an engineering problem and identify constraints, expressing
as a project brief.
C. Use creativity to establish innovative engineering design
solutions, justifying the selection of ideas.
D. Plan and execute practical and/or simulation tests of design
solutions and present reports containing analysis and discussion.
E. Apply engineering design techniques, taking account of a selection
of commercial and industrial constraints.
F. Write, structure and present technical reports and specifications
communicating effectively on complex engineering matters with
technical and non-technical audiences.
G. Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise
the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting
equality,diversity and inclusion.
H. 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.
I. Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical
