Upon completion of their course, students will be capable graduate Maritime Engineers, and able to:
a. Demonstrate a high level of autonomy, professional accountability and ethical conduct through the application of design, research and project management techniques while concurrently displaying an awareness of professional engineering practice.
b. Investigate, analyze and synthesize problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify complex problems in both the maritime and wider engineering fields, e.g. entrepreneurship, and to formulate innovative solutions with intellectual independence.
c. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering principles and management methods to solve complex engineering problems.
d. Rationally apply high level knowledge and skills underpinning the maritime engineering discipline, with an advanced, integrated understanding of complex maritime systems using critical thinking and judgment, while highly considering public occupational health and safety procedures, cultural, environmental and social constraints.
e. Investigate, analyze and synthesize abstraction to complex problems in the maritime sector whilst concurrently considering the implications of the solution in a global and sustainable context using appropriate engineering methods and tools.
f. Practice appropriate techniques, resources and tools to broadly mechanical and electrical engineering activities including manufacturing, installations, conversions and maintenance.
g. Demonstrate thorough understanding of leadership techniques, business practices and entrepreneurship.
h. Review personal performance as a means of managing continuing professional development and lifelong learning.
i. Demonstrate a high level of communication skills in professional practice and articulate complex knowledge, by written and oral means, to specialist and non-specialist audiences including clients, multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural project teams and stakeholders.
j. Demonstrate independent initiatives and leadership in diverse technical teams.
k. Plan and execute work objectives, priorities and schedule, while taking responsibility of team performance in a workplace.
Can function within the discipline with autonomy in technical contexts and adopt paraprofessional roles with little guidance and take responsibility for: Descriptors knowledge 1. (K1) Specialized factual and theoretical knowledge and an understanding of the
boundaries in a field of work or discipline, encompassing a broad and coherent body of
knowledge and concepts, with substantive depth in the underlying principles and
theoretical concepts.
2. (K2) An understanding of allied knowledge and theories in related fields of work or disciplines
and in the case of professional disciplines including related regulations, standards, codes,
conventions understanding of critical approach to the creation and compilation of a
systematic and coherent body of knowledge and concepts gained from a range of sources.
3. (K3) understanding of critical approach to the creation and compilation of a systematic
and coherent body of knowledge and concepts gained from a range of sources.
4. (K4) A comprehensive understanding of critical analysis, research h systems and methods and evaluative problem-solving techniques.
5. (K5) Familiarity with sources of current and new research and knowledge with integration of concepts from outside fields.Skills Technical, creative and analytical skills appropriate to:
1. (S1) Solve specialized problems using evidentiary and procedural based processes in
predictable and new contexts that include devising and sustaining arguments associated
with a discipline.
2. (S2) Evaluate, and apply appropriate methods, procedures or techniques in
processes of investigation towards identified solutions.
3. (S3) Evaluate and implement appropriate research tools and strategies associated with a
discipline.
4. (S4) Present, explain and/or critique complex and unpredictable matters using highly
developed advanced communication and information technology skills.
Aspects of Competence: Autonomy and Responsibility Can take responsibility with conditional autonomy for:
1. (AA1) Developing innovative and advanced approaches to evaluating and managing
complex and unpredictable work procedures and processes, resources or learning.
2. (AA2) Analyzing the management of technical, supervisory or design processes in
unpredictable, unfamiliar and varying contexts.
3. (AA3) Working creatively and/or effectively as an individual, in team leadership role, in
managing contexts related to technical or professional activities.
4. (AA4) Expressing an internalized, personal view, and accepting responsibility to society at
large and to socio-cultural norms and relationships.Aspects of Competence: Role in Context
1. (AR1) Setting and assessing the achievement of group or individual outcomes
2. (AR2) Management and supervision of the outcomes of the work of others or self.
3. (AR3) Participating in peer relationships with qualified practitioners and multiple complex groups and identify responsibility for managing the professional development and mentoring of individuals and groups.
4. (AR4) Take responsibility for managing the professional development and direct mentoring of individuals and groupsAspects of Competence: Self Development 1. (AS1) Can self-evaluate and take responsibility for contributing to professional practice and development and/ or further learning and manage learning tasks independently and professionally, in complex and sometimes unfamiliar learning contexts, or
2. (AS2) Can manage learning tasks independently and professionally, in complex and sometimes unfamiliar learning.
3. (AS3) Contributing to observing ethical standards.
