Contribution of The Course Unit To The Programme Learning Outcomes

Course Learning Outcomes	1	2	3	4	5	6
Program Outcomes
1) Engineering Knowledge: Knowledge of mathematics, science, basic engineering, computing and Industrial Engineering; ability to apply this knowledge in solving complex engineering problems.
2) Problem Analysis: Ability to identify, formulate and analyse complex engineering problems using knowledge of basic science, mathematics and engineering, and considering the UN Sustainable Development Goals relevant to the problem at hand.
3) Engineering Design: Ability to design creative solutions to complex engineering problems; the ability to design complex systems, processes, devices or products to meet current and future requirements under realistic constraints and conditions.
4) Use of Techniques and Tools: Ability to select and use appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and information technology tools, including estimation and modelling, for the analysis and solution of complex engineering problems, recognising their limitations.
5) Research and Investigation: Ability to use research methods, including literature review, designing and conducting experiments, collecting data, analysing and interpreting results, to investigate complex engineering problems.
6) Global Impact of Engineering Practices: Knowledge of the impact of engineering practices on society, health and safety, economy, sustainability and environment in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals; awareness of the legal implications of engineering solutions.
7) Engineering Ethics: Knowledge about ethical responsibility, acting in accordance with engineering professional principles; awareness of acting impartially, without discrimination, and being inclusive of diversity.
8) Individual and Team Work: Ability to work effectively as an individual and as a team member or leader in disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams (face-to-face, distance or mixed).
9) Oral and Written Communication: Ability to communicate effectively in oral and written form on technical subjects, taking into account the various differences (education, language, profession, etc.) of the target audience.
10) Project Management: Knowledge of business life practices such as project management and economic feasibility analysis; awareness of entrepreneurship and innovation.
11) Lifelong Learning: Ability to learn independently and continuously, to adapt to new and emerging technologies and to think inquisitively about technological changes.
