Curriculum Mapping System
The module will explore decision making in the presence of uncertainty. Risks of particular interest are those associated with large engineering projects such as the development of innovative new products and processes. The module will presents and interpret some of the frameworks helpful for balancing risks and benefits in situations that typically involve human safety, potential environmental effects, and large financial and technological uncertainties. Case studies will be used to illustrate key points and these will centre around the use and recovery of plastics, metals, industrial minerals and energy.
This module will enable students to develop skills in decision making in the presence of uncertainty. It will also be used to further develop their ability to critically appraise technologies and present information using a variety of techniques.
