This unit introduces students to the discipline and practice of professional engineering. The role of engineers and some of the important concepts that characterise the engineering approach to solving technical problems are described. In addition, the importance of appropriate communication, teamwork and the management aspects of engineering are introduced. The unit includes a group design project that takes the student through the engineering design process from client specification, around an iterative design loop, to a fully documented final solution.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS

| Semester 1 | 13 x 2 hour lecture | Not Offered | Not Offered |
| Semester 1 | 13 x 3 hour tutorial | Not Offered | Not Offered |
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will engage in learning experiences through ECUs LMS as well as additional ECU l
Lectures are used to introduce the central concepts of the unit. Tutorials and computer lab sessions provide opportunities to develop engineering project and design skills in teams and participate in a real-world engineering challenge. There is a strong focus in this unit on academic and professional skills development. Weekly activities for learning and developing skills are completed and serve both a diagnostic and developmental purpose. Feedback on the performance of these activities is supplemented with in-class discussion.
