Unit description
Applies a systems-based engineering approach to analysis and management of environmental impacts of industrial activities. 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: Environmental impacts of industrial systems
Module 2: Control of air pollution
Module 3: Control of water pollution
Module 4: Energy management
Module 5: Waste management
Module 6: Environmental impact assessment and management in industrial 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 pollution control, energy management, waste management and environmental impact assessment with other relevant contextual factors to address a complex problem related to the environmental impacts of industrial systems |
| 2 | evaluate and creatively apply advanced engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to analyse and design solutions to a complex problem related to the environmental impacts of industrial systems |
| 3 | select, define, successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a complex project related to the environmental impacts of industrial systems |
| 4 | self-assess conduct and performance as a professional engineer in contributing to the successful completion of a complex project related to the environmental impacts of industrial systems |
