Engineering Systems Design 1 (ENGR10004)

Intended learning outcomes

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs)

On completion of this subject the student is expected to:

• Explain the importance of engineers and the place of engineering in society
• Apply basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, process engineering, water treatment, image analysis and online sensing to solve design problems across multiple engineering disciplines
• Identify the nature of a technical problem and make appropriate simplifying assumptions, in order to achieve a solution
• Develop and construct mathematical, physical and conceptual models of situations, systems and devices, and utilise such models for purposes of analysis and design
• Analyse possible alternative engineering approaches and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages in terms of functionality, cost, sustainability and all other factors
• Demonstrate competency in current tools for analysis, simulation, visualisation, synthesis and design, particularly computer-based tools and packages.

Generic skills

• Ability to interact with people in other engineering disciplines and professions to broaden their knowledge and achieve successful outcomes in an engineering design project;
• Ability to realistically assess the scope and dimensions of a project or task, and employ appropriate planning and time management skills to achieve a substantial outcome;
• Communication skills in order to make effective oral and written presentations to technical and non-technical audiences and with other team members;
• Ability to apply creative approaches to identify and develop alternative concepts and problem solving procedures;
• Perception of their own learning and development; understanding the need to critically review and reflect on capability and undertake appropriate learning programs.
