Professional Ethics, Competence and Commercial Awareness

Module aims:

Today’s energy professionals demonstrate a personal and professional commitment to society, to their profession, and to the environment. These principles are embedded in professional codes of conduct and mechanisms for self-regulation. Professional competence integrates knowledge, understanding, skills and values and is accrued through professional development. This module encourages understanding of these ideas and their need. In addition, the module aims to develop understanding of business practice and business governance. The module is focuses on the development of skills that are deemed discipline specific under UK-SPEC and the Engineering Benchmark document, and are not covered in the M-level curriculum elsewhere. They are entered here as Personal Skills for consistency with University codes of practice for module specification. The module encourages students to conduct a reflective self-assessment of their professional development, close to the time of graduation, such that a professional development plan can be formulated.
