This project subject provides students with the opportunity to consolidate their prior learning in an open-ended, multidisciplinary engineering project. Students work as part of a team that integrates most aspects of a full engineering design cycle, and learn about frameworks for analysing socio-technical systems, management techniques and technology assessment concepts. They are expected to develop client requirements through consultative processes, and to develop engineering specifications appropriate to the various stages in the project cycle. They assess alternative solutions and develop preferred options.

Students gain experience in defining and articulating needs and evaluating engineering responses. They produce a comprehensive report documenting the engineering process and project outcomes, and are also required to present aspects of the project through a variety of communication media, including online and face-to-face modes.

Assessment: Project proposal critique (10 per cent), Project proposal (30 per cent), Project presentation (15 per cent), Project report (25 per cent) and Individual reflection (20 per cent).
