ENG261 Engineering Challenge 3 (14)
Abstract
This subject will further develop the student engineer identity through a team-based session-long practical project. Student engineers will utilise project planning, designing, implementing and reviewing skills acquired in ENG160, ENG 161 and ENG 162 to formulate realistic solutions to a broadly-defined engineering problem. Skills in the following aspects, but not limited to, will be further enhanced: effective teamwork and communication, offering and receiving feedback, project management, leadership; structuring and writing technical reports; technical oral presentation. This subject offers student engineers opportunities to practice and reflect upon their practice as engineers, both individually and in groups. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- deliver a workable solution to an engineering problem;
- articulate and follow systematic engineering design processes;
- identify the hallmarks of high performance teams and be aware of the necessity for varieties of roles, and identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in a team environment ;
- demonstrate an awareness of the broad range of document types encountered by engineers in their professional practice, and the distinctions between the different audiences they are targeted towards;
- offer constructive feedback to peers, incorporate comments from peers/mentors or justify why not to; and
- develop and reflect on their emerging identity as student engineers, and how this will change as they move into placement in industry
