Course summary

We nurture your ability to approach engineering challenges systematically. Engineering is all about solving problems. We are committed to producing engineers who are not just technically proficient but have an ability to investigate and define problems. You will identify constraints, encompassing environmental and sustainability aspects, ethical considerations, health and safety, security and risk concerns, intellectual property, and adherence to codes of practice and standards. Successful engineering projects require meticulous planning. You will learn how to plan and manage the design process, including cost considerations, and evaluate outcomes to ensure they meet industry standards. Our program instils a deep understanding of the commercial, economic, and social contexts of engineering processes. We emphasise the imperative of sustainable development in engineering. You'll gain the ability to apply quantitative techniques when necessary to make informed decisions that promote sustainability. Whether you're leading a team or collaborating as a team member, our program fosters personal initiative and responsibility. You'll emerge as an engineer ready to lead or contribute effectively to any project.

Modules

Assessment method

A range of assessment methodologies are utilised and designed to enable you to explore the discipline, your career aspirations and the development of professional networks. Assessment methods include both formative and summative submissions. The formative assessments focus on theoretical underpinnings, ethics and frameworks, practical application of theory to practice and development of practitioner resources applied to different settings. In the main, formative assessments provide opportunities for group work, peer to peer support and feedforward to support the completion of summative assessments. A variety of summative assessment methods are used, including case studies, practical and lab reports (including computer aided design), data analysis and systems processing, and applied problem solving The formative assessments focus on theoretical underpinnings, ethics and frameworks, practical application of theory to practice and development of practitioner resources applied to different settings.
