PO3 Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes to meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations as required (WK5).
PO4 Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research methods including research-based knowledge, design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions (WK8).
PO5 Create, select and apply and recognize limitations of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering problems (WK2, WK6).
PO6 When solving complex engineering problems, analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment (WK1, WK5, and WK7).
PO7 Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion (WK9).
PO8 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings (WK9).
PO9 Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
PO10 Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team and to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
PO11 Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change (WK8).
PO12 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the competences necessary to transform opportunities and ideas into a new business.

Range of Complex Engineering Problem Solving

WP Attribute Complex Engineering Problems have characteristics WP1 and some or all of WP2 to WP7:
WP1 Depth of knowledge required Cannot be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge at the level of one or more of WK3, WK4, WK5, WK6 or WK8 which allows a fundamentals-based, first principles analytical approach
WP2 Range of conflicting requirements Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, non-technical issues (such as ethical, sustainability, legal, political, economic, societal) and consideration of future requirements
WP3 Depth of analysis required Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking, creativity and originality in analysis to formulate suitable models
WP4 Familiarity of issues Involve infrequently encountered issues or novel problems
WP5 Extent of applicable codes Address problems not encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional engineering
WP6 Extent of stakeholder involvement and conflicting requirements Involve collaboration across engineering disciplines, other fields, and/or diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs
WP7 Interdependence Address high level problems including many components or sub-problems that may require a systems approach
