| By the end of the module students should be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of concepts from a range of areas including some outside engineering, and the ability to apply them effectively in engineering projects (US3m)
- Demonstrate an awareness of developing technologies related to mechanical engineering (US4m)
- Demonstrate an understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied (e.g. operations and management, technology, development, etc) (P3)
- Understand the use of technical literature and other information sources (P4)
- Understand appropriate codes of practice and industry standards (P6)
- Demonstrate an awareness of quality issues (P7)
- Extract data pertinent to an unfamiliar problem, and apply its solution using computer based engineering tools when appropriate (E2m)
- Generate an innovative design for products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs (D4m)
- Understand the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development (S3)
- Demonstrate and awareness of the framework of relevant legal requirements governing engineering activities, including personnel, health, safety, and risk (including environmental risk) issues (S4)
- Understand the need for a high level of professional and ethical conduct in engineering (S5)
- Demonstrate a thorough understanding of current practice and its limitations and some appreciation of likely new developments (P1m)
