Programme Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this programme the graduate will be able to demonstrate... :

PO1 Knowledge - Breadth
  (a) Knowledge of: analytical techniques and methods; object orientated programming; networking approaches and protocols; embedded systems tools and hardware; real-time operating systems; research methodologies; project management procedures; innovation and commercialisation techniques; design and development methods relevant to embedded networked systems, problem solving and analysis techniques.
PO2 Knowledge - Kind
  (a) That that they can: research solutions to ill-defined and complex problems and projects; define operational models for specific complex systems from different perspectives e.g. physical layer, hardware perspective, software perspective, networking protocols; relate and combine these specific models; design and deploy applications using specific sensors, high-level languages, wireless networking protocols on a specified embedded system; evaluate the performance of specific applications; analyse experimental data;
PO3 Skill - Range
  (a) That they can: identify and develop models for ill-defined systems using commercial CAD software; evaluate the usefulness of these models with reference to the existing literature; demonstrate a mastery of development environments for programming, embedded system design and digital system implementation; design and develop an embedded networked system; design and develop sensor nodes; implement a design on an embedded system; implement software solutions; evaluate a solution to an embedded networked problem; manage ill-defined projects as part of a group or as an individual; manage product and process innovation
PO4 Skill - Selectivity
  (a) That they can: research complex projects to develop project specifications; creatively use the research literature to propose new solutions; research and analyse proposed solutions for suitability and compare with existing solutions; define engineering specificiations from application specifications; select the most appropriate model; select the most appropriate embedded systems technology for a specified project; refine problem solutions through a cycle of continuous improvement; manage and resolve conflicts in teams.
PO5 Competence - Context
  (a) That they can: evaluate the risks associated with individual and team projects, identify research projects and evaluate commercial potential; undertake research, design and development of unfamiliar complex projects in accordance with international best practice; adhere to highest ethical standards in execution of their work; adhere to all health and safety standards during the execution of their work.
PO6 Competence - Role
  (a) That they can: lead teams on complex projects; manage individual and group projects; communicate effectively within a team environment; execute project plans; prepare plans, reporting documentation, conference papers, technical reports, presentations and posters; communicate project outcomes both formally and informally; communicate effectively with the engineering community; perform research, innovate, solve problems and design embedded networked systems.
PO7 Competence - Learning to Learn
  (a) That they can: mastery of the internet and research databases; investigate and solve ill-defined problems; participate in conferences with their peers; evaluate their own performance and knowledge base; use available resources to redress knowledge gaps and succeed with individual and team projects; discuss and debate problems and solutions with their peers; investigate and evaluation proposed designs with their peers; compare and contrast design approaches adopted by their peers.
PO8 Competence - Insight
  (a) That they can: convert an ill-defined problem to a project specification; draw conclusions from project work; critically evaluate modelling, design and experimental work; relate experimental work to theoretical frameworks.
