What you'll learn

• Apply engineering principles, using relevant scientific, theoretical and technical know-how to solve well-defined building services engineering problems.
• Apply building services engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review the results, when measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, maintaining or operating building services engineering systems.
• Employ a range of advanced mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods to interpret and solve well-defined building services engineering problems.
• Interpret and compare performance information to choose compliant materials, components or parts.
• Select and use technical literature and other sources of information and data to address well-defined building services engineering problems.
• Produce and interpret building services engineering technical drawings, designs, and models, using analytical and computer-based software packages, recognising the limitations of the software used.
• Produce building services engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, procedures, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
• Comply with, and encourage others to demonstrate, statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation.
• Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks.
• Apply principles of sustainable development, and assess the impact of these in their work.
