Handbook

Select and safely use appropriate experimental characterisation techniques to gather suitable evidence with which to identify materials, and manage these results in a professional manner.

Use appropriate evidence, within the context of existing literature, to make judgements about the reasons that  particular materials and processes have been used to fabricate a given product.

Discuss broader considerations relevant to materials selection choices including economic, environmental, societal and cultural aspects.

Appreciate and communicate uncertainty and imprecision in experimental findings and formulate appropriate and valid conclusions in situations where incomplete or conflicting evidence exists.

Interpret and discuss the significance of a set of experimental results in a concise, accurate and professionally written report.

Interpret technical information effectively for a non-technical audience as part of a team.

Manage open-ended projects to a satisfactory completion.
