• Evaluate and compare competing designs, by applying relevant decision criteria, and select the most appropriate design.
• Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of applicable techniques and methods of analysis, design, and investigation and of their limitations.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:

• Investigate and conduct scientific research of broadly-defined technical issues.
• Conduct searches of literature, to consult and critically use databases and other sources of information, to carry out simulation in order to pursue detailed.
• Consult and apply codes of practice and safety regulations.
• Conduct experimental investigations, critically evaluate data and draw conclusions.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:

• Apply norms of engineering practice.
• Select and apply the most appropriate and relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods or new and innovative methods in problem solving.
• Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of applicable techniques and methods of analysis, design, and investigation and of their limitations.
• Apply practical skills, including the use of computer tools, for solving complex problems, realizing complex engineering design, designing and conducting complex investigations.
• Demonstrate comprehensive understanding of applicable materials, equipment and tools, engineering technologies and processes, and of their limitations.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:

• Use diverse methods to communicate clearly and unambiguously - conclusions and recommendations must have data, knowledge, and rationale underpinning it.
• The message must be clear and unambiguous to specialist and non-specialist audiences in national and international contexts.
• Function efficiently and effectively in national and international contexts, as a leader or member of a team, that may be composed of different disciplines and levels, and that may use virtual communication tools.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 7:

• Apply engineering principles related to the environment, with emphasis on causes of problems and technologies for abatement.
• Evaluate the impact of energy sustainability and global warming on the economy.
• Identify potential socio-economic benefits of renewable energy sources.
• Evaluate the legislation and legal policies on the state of environmental pollution in South Africa.
• Apply practical application of environmental engineering fundamentals to solve real-world environmental and human-health problems in underdeveloped regions of the world.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 8:

• Evaluate the technical and non-technical societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial implications of engineering practice.
• Function efficiently and effectively in national and international contexts, as a leader or member of a team, that may be composed of different disciplines and levels, and that may use virtual communication tools.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 9:

• Identify a research area that is relevant to the workspace and has a tangible benefit to the body of knowledge and the community at large.
• Develop comprehensive research questions that are supported by a research problem that has been well articulated based on existing literature.
• Demonstrate sound research practice ethics by acknowledging and referencing every source of information.
• Formulate a research methodology that includes a comprehensive account of the research method and the techniques that will be employed.
• Produce and defend a research proposal that will lead to a postgraduate qualification.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 10:

• Understand and demonstrate the study of green engineering, focusing on key approaches to advancing sustainability through engineering design.
• Evaluate economic, organisational and managerial issues such as project management, risk, and change management.
• Evaluate and discuss the laws according to the current Labour Relations Act of Republic of South Africa (RSA).
• Apply these principles to create a social culture of inclusion, cohesion, understanding, and working together for the better of all parties involved.

Integrated Assessment:

• A variety of Teaching and Learning methods will be used and is a blend of class room teaching, tutorials and small group teaching, practicals, computer laboratory work, field work, peer learning groups, independent learning (self-study), and independent research.
• Different modalities of work-integrated learning such as work-directed theoretical learning, problem-based learning and project-based learning are staggered throughout the programme.
• The methods of delivery have been designed so that students operate at different cognitive levels as they progress through the programme, with more sophisticated or deeper levels of learning being stimulated as more knowledge is gained.
• The teaching and learning methods are appropriate for an engineering or science qualification.
• There will be constructive alignment between the teaching and learning strategy and the assessment strategy to achieve the intended outcomes.
• An effective Integrated Assessment strategy will be used.
• The Advanced Diploma in Industrial Engineering will combine Formative and Summative Assessment methodologies.
• There will be multiple assessment opportunities for learners demonstrate the Exit Level Outcomes as specified in section I of this document.
• All assessments and moderation will be performed and is subject to the institutional Assessment policies, procedures, and guidelines.
