Course overview

The course is designed to further develop learners’ socio-technical skills and professional attributes as defined by Engineers Australia. Learners will gain practical skills in project management and engineering economics (including quality management, stakeholder engagement and contracting), cultural competence, engineering ethics, and decision making alongside self-review, communication and employability skill development. A multidisciplinary team project will integrate learned skills. This cohesive approach aims to demonstrate the socio-technical nature of the engineering profession and prepare students for real-world challenges.
