Unit Description

Integrated Design is an engineering capstone project which brings together much of the previous learning in the engineering course. The main features of Integrated Design are an integrated group design project, covering several aspects of engineering; full application of life cycle analysis and the principle of Concept, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO); taking a design brief to a functional (to client's expectations) outcome. The unit provides students with an opportunity to apply, in an integrated way, theoretical and practical knowledge from prior learning in the course through a complex design project.

Unit Learning Outcomes

1.	Design an integrated complex project through the use of the design cycle
2.	Liaise and negotiate with clients to produce a completed item that meets all of the clients' expectations
3.	Critically evaluate and employ standards and systematic design procedures.
4.	Comply with relevant safety requirements and standards in the design of an integrated project
5.	Identify, select and apply engineering knowledge relevant to the successful completion of complex design projects.
6.	Evaluate complex integrated projects against a lifecycle analysis and the principles of Concept, Design, Implement, Operate.
7.	Demonstrate effective written communication to convey ideas, principles and technical information relating to design projects, to a level appropriate for professional presentation to clients and other external stakeholders
