Overview
As a Building Services Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will work towards a BEng (Hons) in Building Services Engineering. The programme includes part-time day release at university, formal lectures, study guides, course notes, directed reading, class tutorials, assignments, small group projects, workshops and laboratories. Assessment of the academic element will consist of coursework, exams and timed assessments. The apprenticeship combines academic study with employer-focused content and practical experience.
Responsibilities and Learning Focus
* Apply engineering principles to solve broadly defined engineering problems and contribute to continuous improvement: scientific, theoretical, and technical principles.
* Apply building services engineering techniques, procedures and methods, review and evaluate results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, maintaining or operating building services systems or improving performance of components and systems.
* Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
* Identify, interpret, and compare information related to materials, components or parts used in building services engineering.
* Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other data to address and evaluate building services engineering problems.
* Produce building services engineering technical solutions in accordance with industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations and legislation.
* Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model building services engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques used.
* Contribute to the design, development and implementation of building services engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness across the project life cycle.
* Plan, undertake and review professional competence and regularly update continuing professional development (CPD).
* Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare within their area of responsibility.
