M11 Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion.
M13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations.
IEng.
B1 Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering
principles to broadly-defined problems. Some of the knowledge will be informed by current developments in the subject of study.
B2 Analyse broadly-defined problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles.
B3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model broadly-defined problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
B4 Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address broadly-defined problems.
B5 Design solutions for broadly-defined problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
B6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of broadly-defined problems.
B7 Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to broadly-defined problems.
B8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct.
B11 Recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion.
B12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate broadly-defined problems.
B13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes.
