Aims and objectives
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.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
1. Apply professional codes of conduct in engineering technology and business practices (A1, A4, A5, K5, K6)
2. Propose, manage, and communicate change in a business context (A4, A6, K4, K5, S3)
3. Create handover strategies and pitch ideas (A2, A5, K6, S3)
4. Communicate within teams and stakeholders using appropriate verbal, written and technological approaches (A2, A4, A7, S3, S4)
