EMS1EDP
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides a perspective and exposure to current engineering practice and the role it can play in various engineering disciplines. Students are required to take part in a research project. The project is a design program for first-year University students which provides students the opportunity to learn about creative engineering design, team work and communication through real, inspiring, sustainable and cross-cultural development projects. In addition to the design project students further develop their technical skills in a laboratory based project component. In this component of the subject students learn some fundamental skills related to electronics and programming. Students interface a range of sensors and devices with a micro controller which culminates in students designing robots which are played off against each other in a competitive environment. Engineers Australia stage 1 competencies covered in this subject are: 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (see intended learning outcomes for details).
