CEng.
M1 Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science
and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the
knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a
critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering.
M2 Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions.
This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics,
statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering
judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing
the limitations of the techniques employed.
M3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model
complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.
M6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems.
M12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems.


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.
B6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of broadly-defined
problems.
B12 Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate broadly-defined
problems.
