General Information

Overview

This unit introduces contemporary engineering to all undergraduates. First, you will learn about the levels of practice within the engineering profession and the corresponding graduate capabilities developed by our courses. Then you learn about study support services and effective study methods to facilitate a smooth transition to higher education. For most of the term, in this double-weighted unit, you will simultaneously develop technical and professional skills to establish a strong foundation for engineering problem-solving. The technical stream introduces coding, sketching, visualisation, and computer-aided drafting. At the same time, the professional stream teaches engineering values, including sustainable and ethical development, effective communication, time management, independent learning, and working with innovation, risks, people, and complex projects. Ultimately, this unit will test your ability to apply knowledge and skills to complete an authentic team project that incorporates the breadth of contemporary engineering. Successful completion of this unit will prepare you for the following project-based learning units.
