Demonstrate an ability to generate an innovative design for products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs.

Make general evaluations of commercial risks through some understanding of the basic of such risks.

Demonstrate an extensive knowledge and understanding of a wide range of engineering materials and components.

Demonstrate a thorough understanding of current practice and its limitations and some appreciation of likely new developments.

Demonstrate an awareness of developing technologies related to mechanical engineering.

Ensure fitness for purpose for all aspects of the problem including production, operation, maintenance and disposal.

Demonstrate a wide knowledge and comprehensive understanding of design processes and methodologies and the ability to apply and adapt them in unfamiliar situations.

Demonstrate an understanding of concepts from a range of areas including some outside engineering, and the ability to apply them effectively in engineering projects.

Demonstrate an ability to apply engineering techniques taking account of a range of commercial and industrial constraints.

Use technical literature and other information sources.

Understand the context in which engineering knowledge can be applied (e.g. operations and management, technology, development, etc).

Understand the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development.

Demonstrate an ability to use fundamental knowledge to investigate new and emerging technologies.

Apply practical engineering skills acquired through, for example, work carried out in laboratories and workshops; in industry through supervised work experience; in individual and group project work; in design work; and in the development and use of computer software in design, analysis and control. Evidence of group working and of participation in a major project is expected.

Apply mathematical and computer-based models for solving problems in engineering, and the ability to assess the limitations of particular cases.

Demonstrate an understanding of appropriate codes of practice and industry standards.

Illustrate an understanding of and the ability to apply a systems approach to engineering problems.

Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and understanding of mathematical and computer models relevant to the Mechanical, Marine and related engineering disciplines, and an appreciation of their limitations.

Understand the need for a high level of professional and ethical conduct in engineering.

Demonstrate an extensive knowledge and understanding of management and business practices, and their limitations, and how these may be applied appropriately to strategic and tactical issues.

Demonstrate transferable skills including problem solving, communication, and working with others, as well as the effective use of general IT facilities and information retrieval skills.

Extract data pertinent to an unfamiliar problem, and apply its solution using computer based engineering tools when appropriate.

Manage the design process and evaluate outcomes.

Demonstrate an awareness of nature of intellectual property and contractual issues.

Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles of Mechanical and Marine related engineering disciplines.

Illustrate an awareness of quality issues.

Demonstrate an awareness of the framework of relevant legal requirements governing engineering activities, including personnel, health, safety, and risk (including environmental risk) issues.

Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, theories and principles of their engineering discipline, and its underpinning science and mathematics. They must have an appreciation of the wider multidisciplinary engineering context and its underlying principles. They must appreciate the social, environmental, ethical, economic and commercial considerations affecting the exercise of their engineering judgment.

Apply appropriate quantitative science and engineering tools to the analysis of problems. They must be able to demonstrate creative and innovative ability in the synthesis of solutions and in formulating designs. They must be able to comprehend the broad picture and thus work with an appropriate
level of detail.

Illustrate an understanding of customer and user needs and the importance of considerations such as aesthetics.
