Course Description
The purpose of this course is to provide you with the skills and knowledge required to interpret Australian Standards and design simple steel structures consisting of beams, columns, welded/bolted connections and purlins/girts.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs):
1.1 Descriptive, formula-based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the practice area.
1.2 Procedural-level understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the practice area.
1.3 In depth practical knowledge and skills within specialist sub-disciplines of the practice area.
1.4 Discernment of engineering developments within the practice area.
1.5 Knowledge of contextual factors impacting the practice area.
1.6 Understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary Engineering practice in the area of practice.
2.1 Application of established technical and practical methods to the solution of well-defined engineering problems.
2.3 Application of systematic synthesis and design processes to well-defined engineering problems.
