Engineering Technology Project B
Overview
This is a final year capstone project-based unit in which students work individually, or in teams if the project is a large industry project, to apply their skills to generate an engineering technology solution to an industry challenge. The project is part 2 of a year-long project. Having an overall focus on engineering technology innovation, students will be focussing on the design and implementation stages of the year-long project continuing on from the work completed in the Engineering Technology Project A unit and under the guidance of an Academic facilitator.
