commercialisation of the project.

2 Have the confidence to take on the responsibility for investigating and

applying the additional learning, knowledge and resources required to bring

the project to a successful conclusion.

3 Manufacture and test a model or prototype and analyse results and propose

and implement modifications, taking safety into account.

4 Demonstrate the critical thinking and judgment with regard to the ethical

issues which arise during the project life cycle.

5 Present their work, findings and recommendations in a coherent manner and

discuss the results of the project in a professional manner.

6 Produce a professional project report which shows a reasoned development of
