Unit description
Applies a systems-based engineering approach to analysis and design of integrated water cycle management systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.
Unit content
Module 1: Integrated water cycle management approaches
Module 2: Design and modelling of water supply systems
Module 3: Design and modelling of wastewater collection and treatment systems
Module 4: Water quality modelling and management
Module 5: Design and modelling of systems to manage runoff (stormwater and floods)
Module 6: Design and modelling of integrated water cycle management systems
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | employ a systems approach that integrates a detailed technical knowledge of water supply, wastewater treatment and stormwater management with other relevant contextual factors to address a complex problem related to the human-modified water cycle |
| 2 | evaluate and creatively apply advanced engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to analyse and design solutions to a complex problem related to the human-modified water cycle |
| 3 | select, define, successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a complex project related to the human-modified water cycle |
| 4 | self-assess conduct and performance as a professional engineer in contributing to the successful completion of a complex project related to the human-modified water cycle. |
