Abstract

This subject will continue to develop the student engineers' professional identities and capabilities from ENG161, while drawing upon the technical skills developed via the topic tree. Student engineers will work in teams to tackle a session-long engineering challenge in the civil context with social, environmental, economic and human dimensions.

Syllabus

The scope of civil engineering practice; Engineering design and problem solving; Integration of technical knowledge; Setting design criteria and project evaluation; Project quality assurance and design review processesTechnical writing and communication for multiple audiences; Communication through engineering plans; andProject management and design stages

Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
1.
produce technically feasible solutions to real world engineering problems through the application of mathematics and numerical analysis;
2.
plan solutions to engineering problems that incorporate understanding of the interrelationships between social, environmental, economic, human and technical factors and apply appropriate methodologies throughout the design process to produce a creative and sustainable engineering design;
3.
present technical information in a professional manner, in written, verbal, numerical and graphical formats, both synchronously and asynchronously;
4.
demonstrate initiative, accountability and effective communication as members of an engineering team;
5.
objectively reflect upon one's work, the work of others and the management of the project;
6.
conduct background research on applicable engineering content and synthesise the knowledge to apply to the design project; and
7.
demonstrate understanding of the scope and professional accountabilities of civil engineering practice on the design project and integrate the norms of practice into the conduct and management of the project.
