• Search literature and critically evaluate material for suitability.
• Perform necessary analysis for the investigation.
• Select and use equipment or software appropriately.
• Analyse, interpret, and derive information from data.
• Draw conclusions from available evidence.
• Record the purpose, process, and outcomes in a technical report.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:

• Assess the applicability and limitations of methods, skills, or tools.
• Apply methods, skills, or tools correctly.
• Test and assess results against required outcomes.
• Create, select, and use computer applications as needed.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:

• Use appropriate structure, style, and language for written and oral communication.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 7:

• Explain the impact of technology on society.
• Analyse engineering activity in terms of health, safety, and environmental impact.
• Consider personal, social, economic, and cultural values affected by engineering activities.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 8:

• Explain principles of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
• Effectively carry out individual work and contribute to team activities.
• Demonstrate functioning as a team leader.
• Organize and manage design or research projects.
• Communicate effectively in individual or team work contexts.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 9:

• Manage learning tasks autonomously and ethically.
• Reflect on learning and determine suitable learning strategies.
• Source, organize, and evaluate relevant information.
• Apply knowledge acquired outside formal instruction.
• Challenge assumptions and embrace new thinking.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 10:

• Describe ethical dilemmas and implications of decisions made.
• Apply ethical reasoning to evaluate engineering solutions.
• Maintain competence through continuing professional development.
• Accept responsibility for consequences and make judgements in decision-making.
• Limit decision-making to current competence.

Integrated Assessment:

• Formative Assessment: Consists of project reports, case studies, assignments, etc., implemented in each module, with feedback provided by the instructor.
• Summative Assessment: Combines intermediate assessments with final examination marks based on pre-determined weightings. Research reports are assessed by internal and external assessors.

These criteria outline the expectations and standards for assessing student performance in various engineering disciplines at an exit level.
