Program Learning Outcomes

The MPT graduate will have advanced knowledge across the design, construction and maintenance systems related to pavements and will understand the impact of their engineering solutions in global and societal contexts. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 1, 2 and 3.

The MPT graduate will possess a thorough knowledge of the economic and environmental consequences of the implementation of pavement technology and how to implement this knowledge in their professional work by developing technical solutions to best benefit all stakeholders. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 3, 4 and 5.

The MPT graduate will be able to synthesise technical knowledge, undertake complex analysis and design in order to identify, formulate and solve problems of professional importance. They will be able to apply existing theories, methods and interpretations, and to work independently and within teams on practical and theoretical problems. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 1, 2 and 7.

The MPT graduate will be able to research and critically evaluate various sources of information using mathematical and computational tools and apply outcomes to structure and formulate professionally sound arguments and judgements. They will identify and utilise state of the art developments within pavement technology as well as apply relevant national and international standards. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 2, 3 and 6.

The MPT graduate will be able to research and apply knowledge, information and skills in new and emerging areas of road and pavement technology and its related fields, in order to carry out advanced assignments and projects and contribute to innovation in pavement technology. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 2, 3 and 5.

The MPT graduate will demonstrate the capacity to effectively communicate through multiple media and share knowledge at all levels including, with specialists, the engineering team and the general public. This PLO contributes primarily to GA 4, 6 and 7.
