The project is selected in consultation with an academic supervisor, and can be nominated by the supervisor, by the student, or by an industry partner. In this project unit students will identify and describe the design task or research problem and develop a project report recommending a solution or reporting outcomes to the design task or research problem.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must have passed 120 credit points

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Prepare and deliver an engineering project seminar.
  2. Prepare a written engineering project report.
  3. Evaluate alternative solutions and solution strategies using sound engineering principles, including social, commercial, financial, environmental and sustainability criteria.
  4. Maintain a professional journal.
  5. Evaluate and synthesise data from a range of sources to formulate clear design and/or research goals.
  6. Prepare a comprehensive literature survey.
