Overview
Generating ideas, pitching a project proposal, assembling a design team, and creating a development plan are vital skills that enable engineers to establish new projects. This unit takes you through the creative process of prototyping in consultation with stakeholders. Your team must enhance your design idea by seeking external input through continued stakeholder interactions and sharing of several functional prototypes. You will pitch and demonstrate your final design to an audience of peers and professional engineers. You will apply relevant fundamental discipline knowledge and skills, as well as, project management principles. Completing this unit will enable you to discover your creativity while honing skills exhibited by productive and innovative engineers.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisites: ENEG11007 Engineering Industry Project Investigation AND (ENEG11006 Engineering Statics OR ENEG11009 Fundamentals of Sustainable Energy) AND MATH11218 Applied Mathematics AND ENEG11008 Materials for Engineers.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2027
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
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.
Feedback from SUTE
There were some unnecessary resource links on the course website.
The unnecessary links should be reviewed and removed when necessary.
Feedback from SUTE
A discussion forum will be good for discussing ideas after the first assignment.
While online forums were available, alternate digital ways to share initial ideas should be facilitated.
Feedback from SUTE
The design change notes were hard to manage as evidence towards the final assignment.
The submitted design notes should be shared periodically by creating a new website for better visualisation.
