[10] Knowledge capability, a crucial aspect of graduate learning
outcomes, is defined as being the ability to deal with each new situation
encountered, especially in professional activities but also in life generally.
The development of a knowledge capability goes beyond the accumulation and
understanding of technical content and enables the graduate to:
- Work out what are the key aspects to be dealt with in each new situation
- Relate those aspects to the knowledge already acquired and/or to knowledge the graduate knows how to access
- Determine what the underlying task or problem in that situation actually is
- Design a process or solution to deal with the situation, and then
- Have the ability to follow through and complete the task or solve the problem, either alone or with a team.
