Objectives
By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. Knowledge and understanding to develope, execute and manage industrial engineering projects, according to good practises, standards and regulations. 2. Awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering. 3. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to analyse engineering products, processes and methods. 4. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and realise designs to meet defined and specified requirements. 5. The ability to conduct searches of literature, and to use data bases and other sources of information. 6. An awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice. 7. Function effectively as an individual and as a member of a team. 8. Demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice. 9. Demonstrate an awareness of project management and business practices, such as risk and change management, and understand their limitations.
Skills and learning outcomes
CB1. Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2. Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CB3. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CB4. Students should be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. CB5. Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG1.
