Additional Information:
The module will examine the movement of information and data between devices and systems. General Notes UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals Affordable and Clean Energy Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Sustainable Cities and Communities Climate Action Life on Land UK SPEC AHEP 4 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. M4 Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems. M6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems. M10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks. 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. B6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of broadly-defined problems. B10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks B13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes. Where this module is part of a Degree Apprenticeship programme, the knowledge learning outcomes is S9.
