By the end of the course you should be able to: Understand the principles of and carry out complex calculations in scientific and mathematical subjects with confidence, work independently on long term project & design work, use computer hardware/software to support other skills, have an awareness of management techniques and their relevance in an engineering environment, and apply all of the above wihtin a working environment. Methods of study will include lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials and independent research. Learning at level 4 and above is very focused on independent study, and students will be expected to take responsibility for their own learning.
