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 of the Programme Document for Requirements for Accreditation or Recognition of Engineering Education Programmes ACC 02 including knowledge profiles and the range of problem solving descriptors. 1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization as specified in SK1 to SK4 respectively to defined and applied engineering procedures, processes, systems or methodologies. 2. Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse broadly defined engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools appropriate to the discipline or areas of specialization SK1 SK4 3. Design solutions for broadly defined engineering technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations SK5. 4. Conduct investigations of broadly defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, databases and literature SK8 , design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusions. 5. 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. SK6 6. Demonstrate understanding of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to engineering technology practice and solutions to broadly defined engineering problems. SK7 7. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of engineering technology work in the solution of broadly defined engineering problems in societal and engineering contexts. SK7 . 8. Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering technology practice. SK7 . 9. Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams 10. Communicate effectively 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, and give and receive clear instructions. 11. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply these to ones own work, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments. 12. Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in independent and life long learning in specialist technologies. Educational Pathways Graduates from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology could progress to the four year Bachelor of Engineering or other relevant level 7 qualifications such as graduate diplomas, and to post graduate study in Engineering and related areas.

Graduates may apply to study at postgraduate level.
