No further student intake from 1 July 2015
To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the degree in which you are enrolled:
Aims
The major has been designed to provide graduates with:
- a foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering
- an awareness of social, economic and environmental aspects of engineering
- an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
- the ability to work and interact professionally as an individual and as a member of multi-disciplinary teams
- an understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so.
The major provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
- competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of engineering systems
- apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
- communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
- work professionally as an individual and in a team
- understand describe the processes through which current knowledge was developed
- contribute towards the development of engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
- engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge.
