Unit Description

In this unit, the application of knowledge from previous units in the engineering course will be applied. The project ensures parts of as many previous units as possible are incorporated. It employs the life cycle analysis and the principle of Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) for design. Taking a design brief to a functional (to client's expectations) outcome is an integral part of this unit.

This unit is reliant on on-line materials including electronic submission of assessment items. Students must have access to a reliable high-speed broadband connection and a scanner.

Unit Learning Outcomes

1.	Plan and compose structured reports on design activities to both peers and customers
2.	Identify, discuss and apply a code of ethics
3.	Describe and use the design cycle
4.	Evaluate and employ standards and systematic design procedures
5.	Use effective oral, written, numeric and project and practical reports, to convey ideas and principles.
