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 | apply systematic processes to formulate, design and manage the undertaking of a major engineering project |
| 2 | formulate an overall plan of attack including alternative conceptual solutions and methods to critically evaluate them and then perform the design calculations and integration necessary to deliver the project outcome |
| 3 | demonstrate awareness of the professional and ethical responsibilities in producing the required design outcome |
| 4 | collate the results and present clearly and effectively the proposed solution, conclusions and/or recommendations in both written and oral formats |
| 5 | demonstrate the attainment of the 16 Stage 1 Engineers Australia Competencies through a written report. |
