Educational Aims of the Course
The overall aim of the programme is to develop knowledge, understanding and intellectual and practical skills appropriate to a variety of roles within the Building Services Engineering sector. The intention is to provide a stimulating and challenging programme of study that accurately reflects the activities in the Building Services Engineering industry and prepares students for effective, productive and responsible employment in the sector. The programme will offer the appropriate type and level of support as students build their knowledge, understanding and skills to become independent learners for the future. Since the programme has a bias towards providing students with engineering skills and knowledge and the design of engineering services systems for buildings, it is suited to those employed in or seeking employment in the design and consultancy arm of the Building Services Engineering industry. To facilitate study for employed students the programme is offered in part-time as well as full-time attendance mode. The specific aims of the programme are to provide: 1. A programme of study in Building Services Engineering which facilitates acquisition of the essential skills and knowledge of the subject supported by industry. 2. The appropriate learning experiences to enable students to develop their skills and attitudes as independent researchers and innovative problem solvers to the fullest potential in the Building Services Engineering Sector. 3. An awareness of existing and future issues in the construction and property industry and how they are likely to impinge on the role and function of the Building Services Engineer. 4. Opportunities for development of the student's interpersonal and communication skills, with special reference to aspects of Engineering, Technology, Design and Management. 5. Opportunities for development of the student's professional attitude commensurate with that of the practicing Building Services professional and to permit them to specialise in selected areas of Building Services Engineering. 6. Raised awareness of the responsibilities of the Building Services professional in relation to sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental issues within the built environment. 7. To ensure that successful graduates will have the potential to contribute to significant advances in engineering and technological issues associated with their chosen industry. 8. To provide students with appropriate learning experiences to enable them to develop their skills and attitudes as independent researchers and innovative and creative problem solvers to the fullest possible potential in the Building Services Engineering sector. 9. To prepare students for the transition from Higher Education to employment within a professional context; and develop those transferable, specialist and employability skills that all stakeholders could reasonably expect of students who successfully complete a Building Services Engineering programme.
