This subject introduces you to the concept of an engineer as a professional problem
solver, discussing the processes involved in applying the engineering method to problems,
the issues surrounding modern engineering practice (such as ethics and sustainability),
and how to effectively communicate during and after the engineering project. Topics
covered include i) Engineering in society (professional bodies, learned societies;
ethics and professional responsibility), ii) Engineering communication (technical
report writing; seminar presentations; teamwork; hand sketching; AutoCAD), iii) Engineering
problem solving, design and management (engineering analysis; use of engineering software;
open-ended problem solving; the design process; selection of alternatives; economic
evaluation; project planning and resource management) and iv) Engineering Safety (occupational
health and safety; duty of care; legislation; safe management of workplaces).
Learning Outcomes
- identify the role of, and relationships between, each major engineering discipline,
while also recognising the broader function of engineering in society;
- demonstrate appropriate and competent use of written, oral, and pictorial communication
skills throughout a range of engineering activities;
- recognise and use systematic approaches to engineering design through the guided application
of these in several specific design tasks;
- apply teamwork, management and leadership skills in the solution of design problems
and practice formal techniques for productive team interactions;
- implement various practical stills for university life including study methods, time
management, and on- and off-line information sourcing;
- recognise the importance of ethics and sustainability in modern engineering practice
and explain its relevance and implications for a specific problem.
