Unit Synopsis

In this unit, you will further develop your professional engineering skills necessary to practice as a graduate engineer in Australia. You will learn Engineers Australia's prescribed competency standards, codes of practice and ethics, and the roles and responsibilities of a professional engineer. You will apply your knowledge to conceive, develop and deliver sustainable solutions to complex engineering problems, autonomously and as part of a team. You will use advanced search methods to retrieve and critically assess scientific and technical information and apply it to synthesise the conduct and management of engineering projects. You will develop your communication skills, including technical writing and presentations based on effective research, paraphrasing, referencing, and reviewing published information. As a small team, you will prepare a scope for an investigation to demonstrate an understanding of the tasks involved in an Australian engineering feasibility investigation. You will enhance your awareness of ways to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and First Nation perspective in engineering practice. You will apply your engineering knowledge and skills to enhance welfare, health, and safety, with the minimal use of natural resources and paying attention to the environment and the sustainability of the resources.
