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.

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

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.

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

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

Demonstate 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.

Illustrate an awareness of quality issues

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

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 comprehensive knowledge and understanding of mathematical and computer models relevant to
the mechanical and related engineering disciplines, and an appreciation of their limitations

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

Demonstrate an awareness of developing technologies related to mechanical engineering.

Demonstrate the use of technical literature and other information sources.

Use fundamental knowledge to investigate new and emerging technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Demonstrate their 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.

Generate an innovative design for products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs.

Demonstrate the understanding of appropriate codes of practice and industry standards

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

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

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

Understand the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development.

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

Demonstrate an abliity to manage the design process and evaluate outcomes.
