PE 1 KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL BASE
PE1.1 Comprehensive,
theory based
understanding of the
underpinning natural and
physical sciences and the
engineering fundamentals
applicable to the
engineering discipline.
I) This project has been based
on the idea for the development
of a micro air vehicle with
flapping wings for aerial flight
II) I was asked to work for their
company in order to find the
drawbacks in their production
line and for the installation of
new production lines in the
factory floor.

understanding of the
mathematics, numerical
analysis, statistics, and
computer and information
sciences which underpin
the engineering discipline.
I) Based on the study of the
literature of the previously
completed project, I had worked
on the design phase for the
