As a student in the final year of your Bachelor of Engineering course, you will identify and analyse leadership and engineering management techniques applied within industry-based teams, and generate a personal vision for your leadership style. You will also document safety and environmental management systems applied in engineering workplaces, with a focus on cultural aspects. You will examine ethical principles, codes of ethics and apply approaches to ethical decision making. You will develop a three-year career plan outlining professional, technical, and personal aspects of career development. In preparation for this unit, it is strongly recommended that you have undertaken industry practice experience in a workplace, either via Industry Practice unit(s) or vacation employment.

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 Comments

Marking rubrics for each assessment was hard to locate as they were not given with each assessment.

Marking rubrics should be included in the assessment guidelines.

Feedback from SUTE Comments

Some unit content needs to be updated to reflect the changes in technology used at workplaces.

Unit content should be reviewed and updated as required to reflect contemporary engineering practices.

Feedback from SUTE Comments

Unit requirements were not clear.

Week one tutorial should focus on the unit requirements.

Feedback from Unit Coordinator Reflections

Some topics are relevant to leadership in contemporary engineering organisations.

Topics of project leadership and using leadership as a driver of sustainability should be added to the unit content.
