Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed Engineering Design 2 (EEET2257 / EEET2602) or equivalent before you commence this course.
Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course.
Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.
Course Description
Studying Engineering Design 3 you will acquire knowledge and skills that are expected from engineering graduates in the 21st Century by Engineers Australia (EA). More specifically, course activities focus on the development of the EA graduate competencies that are listed in the “Stage 1 Competency Standard For Professional Engineer” (see: https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/resource-files/2017-03/Stage%201%20Competency%20Standards.pdf).
This semester you will work in a team to develop a product proposed by one of your team members. For the duration of the course your team will be assigned to an academic staff member, who will act as your team’s mentor.
Engineering Design 3 will engage you in individual activities in team-based project work. Team work will help you to refine your analytical and practical design skills acquired during the first two and a half years of your study.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) that have been aligned with recognised standards for Bachelor of Engineering degrees to obtain national accreditation by Engineers Australia:
1 Knowledge and Skill Base
1.5. Knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline.
1.6. Understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in the specific discipline.
2 Engineering Application Ability
2.1. Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.
2.2. Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.
2.3. Application of systematic engineering synthesis and design processes.
2.4. Application of systematic approaches to the conduct and management of engineering projects.
3 Professional and Personal Attributes
3.1. Ethical conduct and professional accountability
3.2. Effective oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
3.3. Creative, innovative and pro-active demeanour.
3.4. Professional use and management of information.
3.5. Orderly management of self, and professional conduct.
3.6. Effective team membership and team leadership.
For more information on the program learning outcomes for your program, please see the program guide.
On completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply critical and creative thinking in the design of engineering projects.
- Plan and manage your time effectively as an individual and a team member.
- Consider business and social contexts of an engineering product.
- Utilise fundamental knowledge and skills in engineering and apply it effectively on a project.
- Develop and present your reports and proposals while working in a team.
- Reflect on your own and peers’ technical and non-technical learning.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities. This course will engage you in team project activities and lectorial classes. There will be drop-in sessions offered for you to attend as a group or as individuals, to develop your skills in pitching your ideas to industry. This will be relevant to your assessment tasks. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
Under guidance of your academic mentor your team will work towards development of a project proposal for a product chosen by your team. It is expected that over the project duration you will carry out many responsibilities of a team member. In essence you will be involved in a problem-based learning activity that will enable you to learn how to work effectively individually and as a member of a team in order to identify the product need and to successfully plan and design the product.
It is expected that your team will regularly meet with your academic mentor. This will provide your team with appropriate guidance and will help you in your design work.
The lectorial classes will be presented by RMIT academics and external guest lecturers. The knowledge from the face-to-face classes will enable you to further enhance your skills in engineering design.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal
