Course Description
This course provides students with a foundation in engineering design practice and prepares them for discipline-specific advanced courses in engineering design. Students will gain experience in the use of digital design techniques and management of larger open-ended, team-based engineering design tasks in a project-based learning environment. Students will learn to create detailed design of real world products and systems by applying design thinking and scientific principles. Students will learn a range of design techniques to contextualize, evaluate, and communicate designs, from generating ideas via sketching to development of digital models and detailed technical drawings that meet the Australian and international standards. Students will develop foundation skills in computer-aided design (CAD) techniques to generate 3D models of products and assemblies and learn to integrate them in augmented and virtual reality tools.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for BH126 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Engineering plans ending in P23 and specialising in:
Advanced Manufacturing & Mechatronic; Biomedical; Mechanical; Electronic and Computer Systems; Electrical; Sustainable Systems; Civil & Infrastructure; Aerospace; Chemical; and Environmental Engineering and associated double degrees:
PLO 2: Utilise mathematics and engineering fundamentals, software, tools and techniques to design engineering systems for complex engineering challenges.
PLO 4: Apply systematic problem solving, design methods and information and project management to propose and implement creative and sustainable solutions with intellectual independence and cultural sensitivity.
PLO 5: Communicate respectfully and effectively with diverse audiences, employing a range of communication methods, practising professional and ethical conduct.
For more information on the program learning outcomes for your program, please see the program guide.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply key elements of the design process and scientific principles to create detailed design of a product that meets engineering requirements and standards;
- Generate and interpret engineering technical drawings of parts and assemblies according to engineering design standards; and
- Use CAD software to generate a computer model of a well-defined part or assembly.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
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.
