Subject outline
The key objective of this first year subject is to provide broad foundation contributions to the essential knowledge base, engineering application abilities and professional and personal attributes that form the graduate outcomes specification for the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil). The subject is built on a group experiential learning activity and is supported by lectures and programmed tutorial learning. The project will engage students in a broad context engineering problem, and will involve research, problem specification, consideration of solution alternatives and delivery of a preferred design proposal.
