Knowledge of A3 is implicit in all courses and is emphasised in assignments and case studies A4 is endorsed in formal lectures, laboratory exercises and case studies also specifically through the Programmable Analogue Electronics and Advanced Power Engineering courses and other options Acquisition of A5 is through the Research Methodology course, project work and assignments.

5 Acquisition of A6 is through formal lectures, assignments case studies and project work Acquisition of A7 is through the Strategy and Management and further reinforced in most other course were relevant. Acquisition of A8 is from strategic examples in courses throughout the programme. Also specifically through optional courses in Environmental Engineering and Global Engineering. B Teaching and learning Acquisition of B1, B2, B3 and B4 is through the provision of intellectually challenging problems in all courses along with seminar support. Acquisition of B5, B6 and B7 is through assignments and case studies in all courses and specifically through the Research Methodology course and the Individual Project. C Teaching and learning Acquisition of C1 is developed through laboratory work, case studies, assignments and specifically through Advanced Power Engineering, Multiple Technology Integration and Project courses. Acquisition of C2 is through case studies, laboratory work and projects. Acquisition of C3 and C4 is mainly though the individual project. Acquisition of C5 is through presentations of assignments and case studies included in several courses including Multiple Technology Integration, Strategy and Management and Project courses. Learning skills for the acquisition of C6 and C7 are explicit throughout the programme and specifically in Research Methodology and the Individual Project D Teaching and learning Acquisition of D1, D2 and D3 is through solving problems and carrying out practical activities in the majority of courses throughout the programme. Acquisition of D4 is mainly through the Strategy and Management course and other optional management courses in

6 the program D5 is implicit in all courses and specifically Advanced Power Engineering, Programmable Analogue Electronics and other options Acquisition of D6 is primarily through the Individual project and other project based coursework including group projects Acquisition of D7 through assignments, the individual project and the Research methodology course.
