ENG160 Engineering Challenge 0 (2)

The Charles Sturt Engineering course is structured very differently to other engineering programs. This subject introduces commencing student engineers to the Charles Sturt Engineering structure and philosophy. By focusing immediately and fully on a single project that exemplifies the principles of Charles Sturt Engineering, the incoming students are familiarised with the culture and expectations of Charles Sturt Engineering, while also taking the opportunity to establish their relationships with other student engineers.
