Graduates will demonstrate an in-depth and breadth of knowledge and practical skills for employment as an Engineering Technologist within a specialist area of their chosen major of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. Graduates will have the ability to apply analytical skills and knowledge of technological principles and physical processes to solve broadly defined engineering problems. For further information refer to here

The Graduate Attributes below are consistent with the exemplar developed by the International Engineering alliance and adopted by each of the Washington, Sydney and Dublin Accord respectively. See Appendix 2 for Requirements for Accreditation or Recognition of Engineering Education Programmes ACC 02 including knowledge profiles and the range of problem solving descriptors.
1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to defined and applied engineering procedures, processes, systems or methodologies.
2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse broadly defined engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools appropriate to the discipline or areas of specialization
3. Design development of solutions: Design solutions for broadly-defined engineering technology problems and contribute to the design of 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.
4. Investigation: Conduct investigations of broadly-defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, databases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusions.
5. Tool Usage: Select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to broadly-defined engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The Engineer and the World: When solving broadly defined engineering problems, analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts* to society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment. * Represented by the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDG)
7. Ethics: Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering technology practice including compliance with national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
8. Individual and Team work: 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
9. Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on broadly-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
10. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply these to one's own work, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
11. Lifelong Learning: Recognize the need for and have the ability for i) independent and life-long learning and ii) critical thinking in the face of new specialist technologies.
