This module builds on the programme learning outcomes and aims covered in Global Challenges: Future, Ethics and Sustainability (I) module. The module provides for the integration of programme learning outcomes, and discusses global themes that will be revisited throughout the programme. Manufacturing/engineering organisations function in complex and dynamic environments, where decisions and trade-offs have to be made. The module covers a broad range of global issues that impact on manufacturing/engineering organisations and include aspects related to sustainability, ethics, global trends and the future of manufacturing/engineering. Guest lectures from established practitioners and experts, along with integrated learning across the modules/workplace, provide further support for skills development e.g. in the area of climate change.
