ENG362 Engineering Challenge 4 (14)

This subject will develop students engineering design skills to an advanced stage through a team-based session-long practical engineering design project. Students will identify their strengths and weaknesses based on experience so far in their degree, then work on a project aimed to develop their expertise in areas underdeveloped so far in their engineering education.  Student engineers will deliver workable engineering solutions, competently applying engineering fundamental principles, methods, and tools to design suitable solutions to a complex engineering problem. This subject offers student engineers opportunities to practice and reflect upon their practice as engineers, both individually and in groups, and serves as a capstone design project to further develop their essential design skills.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2022.

Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
  • apply underpinning sciences and engineering fundamentals to systematically devise a workable solution to a complex engineering problem considering technical, social, economic factors, and environmental sustainability;
  • devise, articulate, justify and follow systematic engineering design processes;
  • present complex technical information in a clear and professional manner, suited to the technical and non-technical audiences;
  • develop and maintain collaborative, accountable and collegial relationships within the engineering team and external parties; and
  • reflect objectively upon one's work, the work of others and the management of the project.

Syllabus

This subject will cover the following topics:
  • Integrated civil engineering design skills including structural, civil, water and geotechnical
  • Design of complex multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted projects
  • Stakeholder consultation and consideration
  • Effective communication via emails, documentation, oral presentations and reports
  • Team and workload management
  • Communication of technical and design information through engineering documentation
