Aims and objectives

This unit of study requires students to plan and execute a substantial research or design -based project, using their technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse, manage and theorise about developments that contribute to professional practice thus demonstrating the achievement of AQF Level 8 and Swinburne Engineering Competencies. Depending on each engineering Major, some of the projects will be experimental and/or developmental in nature to include design, construction, programming, while others may involve computer-based simulation, design or literature survey.

Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
 
1 Manage a research project effectively using project management processes and tools, and self-management skills, within technical, budgetary, risk and time constraint (K3,K4,K5, K6, S1,S2,S3,S4,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6)
2 Apply effective research methods, practices, principles and technological tools to implement a complex engineering project work; with data acquisition, data analysis, interpretation and synthesis
3 Apply problem-solving methodologies to provide logical reasoning and hypothesis testing to generate, evaluate and justify innovative solutions (K1,K2,K3,K4,S1,S2,S3,A3)
4 Demonstrate effective professional written and oral communication to a variety of audiences through proposals, business arguments, reports, documentation, presentations, and demonstration or analysis of project outcomes (A2,A4)
5 Reflect on professional engineering practice and its impact on the project, including safety, ethical, legal, social, cultural and sustainability considerations, along with standards and codes of practice (K5,K6,S4,A1,A2,A4)
6 Demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct and professional accountability in all aspects of project work, including teamwork(when appropriate and applicable),dealing with stakeholders and demonstrating a professional image (K5,K6,S4,A1,A2,A5,A6,A7)
