Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
048835 Engineering Project A
Course Description
This course is taken in the final year of the Associate Degree in Engineering Technology program. This major project work involves you in developing, managing and achieving the objectives of an engineering project and applying technical skills and knowledge in real or simulated workplace scenario.
The engineering project itself is a capstone project that encourages a holistic approach to managing the technical and managerial aspects of a project, utilising the multiple technologies and topics you have learnt. You will work on projects in small peer-support groups or in pre-determined project teams. You will submit an individual project report for assessment. You will be allocated a first and second supervisor.
This engineering project activity is carried out either in conjunction with industry or simulates a real engineering work environment, thereby contributing to Work Integrated Learning.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
On successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
1. Apply critical and creative thinking in the design of engineering projects
2. Plan and manage your time effectively as a team
3. Consider the business context and commercial positioning of designed devices or systems
4. Apply knowledge of the ‘real world’ situations that a professional engineer can encounter
5. Use fundamental knowledge and skills in engineering and apply it effectively on a project
6. Design and develop a functional product prototype while working in a team
7. Undertake an engineering project under mentorship
8. Timely reflect on your own and peers’ technical and non-technical learning
9. Orally present and demonstrate your product to peers, academics, general and industry community
10. Manage any disputes and conflicts within and outside your team.
Overview of Learning Activities
The learning activities will comprise three components:
- Lectures
- Site visits
- Self paced learning
- Teamwork/peer learning
- Reflective Journals
- Literature research online and library
- Project based learning
- Presentations
Overview of Learning Resources
Learning resources will consist of recommended references and class notes which may be accessed through "myRMIT" if you are in Melbourne and via "RMIT online" if you are based in Vietnam.
The set of references is deliberately broad, including books, journal publications, government reports, industry standards and handbooks, and web-based resources.
