Engineering Project
Unit description :
This unit merges completed and co-requisite units covered in this course, building on the basic concepts and fundamental principles of engineering planning, analysis, design, compliance, management, scheduling and documentation. In this unit you will undertake the detailed documentation of a multi-faceted civil engineering project involving physical infrastructure taking into consideration technical compliance, economic, environmental, social and ethical standards. 'Physical infrastructure' includes all types of structures, foundations and earthworks, transport and reticulation systems, and utilities.
The teaching emphasis in this unit is on project-based learning where specific topics necessary for meeting project milestones are delivered as necessary within the context of a large simulated project. In addition, this unit enables students to synthesise elements of theoretical and practical learning acquired across other units in the course. Students in small teams will research available information commensurate with a professional approach to conceptualising, designing and documenting to standards applicable to a modern civil engineering project. The teaching format of this unit is based on lectures and tutorials delivered by selected staff in areas of speciality as appropriate.
