* Ability to offer insight into the practices in the management of projects
* Ability to employ theoretical ideas in a variety of management contexts
* Ability to communicate effectively and professionally
This module supports the following Engineering Council learning outcomes - supporting students to:
M4: Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address broadly defined problems
M5: Design solutions for broadly-defined problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate, considering health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards
M6: Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of broadly defined problems
M7: Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to broadly-defined problems
M8: Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct
M9: Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks associated with a particular project or activity
M10. Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks
M16. Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance
M17. Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used
M18: Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD
