ENG162 Engineering Challenge 2 (14)

Abstract

This subject will develop the student engineers’ professional identities and capabilities, while drawing upon the technical skills developed elsewhere in the curriculum.  Student engineers will work in teams to tackle a session-long engineering challenge with social, environmental, economic and human dimensions.  In addition to producing technically feasible solutions, teams will also be required to communicate their outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
