What you'll learn
Course contents
* 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 the results, including when measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, maintaining or operating building services engineering systems or improving the performance of building services engineering 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 in relation to materials, components or parts used in building services engineering.
* Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate building services engineering problems.
* Produce building services engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant 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 employed.
* Contribute to the design, development and implementation of building services engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
* Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
* Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks.
* Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of building services engineering solutions.
* Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
* Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording and reporting progress against building services engineering project performance criteria.
* Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements.
* Plans and manages resources, equipment and technology, to meet project requirements, specifications, costs and budgets and timescales, with an appreciation of statutory and commercial arrangements.
* Monitor and manage individual performance, and the input of others, recognising the need to adapt to, and communicate, changing demands.
* Comply with appropriate codes of practice and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) requirements.
* Communicate in verbal and written contexts using appropriate methods for the audience. Use appropriate engineering terminology and conventions.
* Apply teamwork and collaboration principles.
