General Information

Overview

In this unit you will be introduced to some of the key professional and technical areas of contemporary engineering. You will learn about the levels of practice within the engineering profession and the corresponding graduate capabilities developed by our courses. You will be introduced to support services that assist in your learning as well as various study, time management and team work techniques to assist in your transition to higher education. Understanding the importance of developing information literacy, respecting academic integrity and using new technologies such as AI to your advantage, will equip you to successfully complete future units. For the majority of the term, in this double-weighted unit, you will develop your knowledge of key professional and technical skills whilst working on an engineering project. As a team, you will work towards preparing a technical report that professionally communicates the full engineering problem solving process. This will culminate in the delivery of a presentation to your peers. As an individual, you will be assessed on your contribution to the team project as well as being asked to demonstrate your understanding of the weekly topics. Topics are intended to introduce you to key professional and technical skills. Technical proficiencies include coding, sketching, visualisation, and computer-aided drafting. Whilst professionally you will enhance your knowledge of engineering values, including sustainable and ethical development, effective communication, and working with innovation, risks, people, and complex projects. Successful completion of this unit will prepare you for the following project-based learning units.
