Description

The aim of this module is to introduce the student to the skills associated with an Engineer through Problem Based Learning and the integration of theory with relevant practical work.

Learning Outcomes

1. Apply theoretical aspects of their programme to relevant practical work experience through Problem Based Learning
2. Identify, describe and formulate solutions to real-world engineering problems.
3. Apply experimental, analytical and numerical methods to the design of solutions appropriate to product/process development.
4. Identify, interpret and evaluate unseen technical information.
5. Demonstrate initiative and ingenuity in deriving novel solutions to specific engineering problems.
6. Assess the importance of task management, planning, working in teams and interdisciplinary collaboration in Engineering practice.
7. Identify, evaluate and discuss ethical issues in engineering as they relate to their work.
8. Communicate engineering concepts and ideas by written and graphical means.

Reassessment Requirement Type
Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories: Resit category 1: A resit is available for both* components of the module. Resit category 2: No resit is available for a 100% continuous assessment module. Resit category 3: No resit is available for the continuous assessment component where there is a continuous assessment and examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a Continuous Assessment/Examination split; where the module is 100% continuous assessment, there will also be a resit of the assessment
Resit category for this module is temporarily unavailable
