Learning Outcomes
Research, evaluate and support implementation and report on designing and development processes within an industrial context.
Details of Learning Activities
The course is primarily project -based and is largely student-directed. You will be allocated in groups of 2-3 students (number of students may change depend on complexity of the project) and each group will work as a team on a design project based on a given design specification. Each group nominates a group leader and meet the advisor at least once each week. Peer assessment and a progress report at the end of semester form part of the assessment.
Class: classes are 180 minutes long and take place once a week. We mainly use Microsoft® PowerPoint slides, but enhance the material with some active learning exercises.
Readings: The readings will use the recommended textbooks and give an overview of the published literature in the field.
Teaching Schedule
Week 1: Introduction to Design Process, Design Organisation and Design Documentation
Week 2: Selection of Design Project
Week 3 to 7: Weekly Design Team meeting with the advisor
Week 8: Progress Report meeting
Week 9 to 13: Weekly Design Team meeting with the advisor
Week 14: Final Design presentation (Project Submission- First Draft)
Week 15: Final Design Presentation
Week 16: Final Design Project Report Submission

Overview of Assessment
A student who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply aeronautical engineering fundamentals to support design and development of projects for a range of engineering applications and within the application of ILS. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Assessment Tasks
You will be assessed in various ways to ensure you meet the requirements of the course. Assessment tasks consist of Design Progress Report, Design portfolio, Design Report and Design presentation.
Successful graduation from the course is achieved when you attain competency mark for ALL assessment tasks.
Assessment Matrix
This course will be assessed based on the results of design portfolio, design report and design presentation.
A candidate should demonstrate s/he can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria to be eligible for successful completion of the course.
