Course Description
This project-based course aims to enhance in students the independence to seek out relevant information regarding an issue or problem, use their analytical skills to arrive at solutions and to provide students wth a context of operation in preparation for their future working environment.
The objective is to motivate students to develop and demonstrate their ability for resourcefulness and independent work in the complex area of Environmental Engineering.
The course consists of two components – investigation and design.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
LO1 undertake an extensive literature research across a broad range of topics in a complex issue
LO2 use analytical skills to develop a range of options to solve a complex environmental problem
LO3 integrate knowledge from various disciplines
LO4 record project data
LO5 analyse and evaluate project data
LO6 demonstrate ability for resourcefulness and independent work
LO7 maintain a project logbook
LO8 plan and develop a coherent engineering report
LO9 present an engineering report in a finished form ready for review and evaluation by others
LO10 identify problems in a complex engineering topic
LO11 evaluate and compare a range of solutions to a complex problem
LO12 choose and argue for a preferred solution to a complex problem
Overview of Learning Activities
Problem solving results from the design process and the majority of engineers are employed as ’problem solvers’. Professional and personal developments are used in this subject to guide the student in his/her learning of the problem solving activity.
