Unit description |
Unit description
In this unit, students will learn professional engineering skills, at an intermediate level, through conducting an engineering project. Projects will be carried out in interdisciplinary teams; students will further develop competence in the areas addressed in ENGG100. In addition, students will use financial evaluation and sustainability considerations in their work.

ENGG200 is a continuation of the ENGG Spine Units. Through a vertically integrated project-based learning environment, students are exposed to opportunities to develop the required transferable professional skills. The Unit will emulate the working environment of an engineering company whereby a semester-long engineering project will be conducted. Students are expected to refer to the learning materials presented in ENGG100 when required.
Recommended and/or Required Texts
Students are required
Recommended texts:
Students will require a scientific or engineering calculator.

Our graduates will have enquiring minds and a literate curiosity which will lead them to pursue knowledge for its own sake. They will continue to pursue learning in their careers and as they participate in the world. They will be capable of reflecting on their experiences and relationships with others and the environment, learning from them, and growing - personally, professionally and socially.
This graduate capability is supported by:
Our graduates will take with them the intellectual development, depth and breadth of knowledge, scholarly understanding, and specific subject content in their chosen fields to make them competent and confident in their subject or profession. They will be able to demonstrate, where relevant, professional technical competence and meet professional standards. They will be able to articulate the structure of knowledge of their discipline, be able to adapt discipline-specific knowledge to novel situations, and be able to contribute from their discipline to inter-disciplinary solutions to problems.
This graduate capability is supported by:
We want our graduates to be capable of reasoning, questioning and analysing, and to integrate and synthesise learning and knowledge from a range of sources and environments; to be able to critique constraints, assumptions and limitations; to be able to think independently and systemically in relation to scholarly activity, in the workplace, and in the world.

Previously ENGG200 concentrated on a whole of engineering approach. In this offering each student will focus more on their discipline specific topics, but in the framework of a complete engineering project. Each student will be a member of a sub-team creating a component to satisfy a specific engineering need. The collection of sub-teams in a single practical session will work together to imagine, design, develop, iterate, test and demonstrate a solution to the challenge that is presented for the year.
ENGG200 students will work together with ENGG300 students in producing the solution to the challenge presented.
