In this unit, you will apply the knowledge and skills you have developed throughout your Associate Degree to a capstone project. You will manage the project, identify and apply required technical knowledge, develop a project problem definition from a loosely formed client brief and produce detailed drawings and documentation. You will also review the conduct and management of engineering enterprises based on personal work experience and reflect on the engineering design process and project management and their role in it. You will operate in an ethical manner, communicate effectively, and provide evidence of professional conduct and a commitment to lifelong learning. Note: You may make this project part of your compulsory minimum of six weeks of work experience required before graduation.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
