Course overview

The course aims to develop students' engineering application abilities and professional and personal attributes as defined by Engineers Australia. Particularly, it introduces students to relevant concepts, principles and techniques for effective leadership and management of engineering projects. Students will work in multidisciplinary teams to demonstrate the application of the socio-cultural, ethical and sustainable frameworks related to engineering projects. Activities will help students develop an understanding of the issues when working on multidisciplinary projects and expose them to a range of tools and techniques required in their discipline. Students will work on projects that will develop their communication, project management, teamwork and critical thinking skills.
