Initiation, planning and development of engineering projects including such subjects as feasibility studies, design and performance specifications, creativity, decision theory, construction, testing and evaluation, operation, maintenance and sustainability of engineering systems and the optimum use of resources. Social, economic, political, international and environmental issues related to engineering projects. Drawing and documentation standards, theory and practice, including design and modelling software.

This topic introduces students to the general nature of and the core professional practices associated with engineering design in the context of engineering projects, with emphasis on the social, economic, political, international and environmental issues. The topic also develops skills in drawing and documentation.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

Appreciate the role of engineers in society and the purposes of engineering projects
Understand the basic processes involved in engineering planning and design
Apply systems concepts and elementary optimisation theory to the modelling of engineering processes
Use decision theory and basic economic analysis for the evaluation of engineering projects
Identify and consider the social, economic, political, international and environmental dimensions of an engineering project
Apply the principles of sustainable development
Use software tools for engineering drawing, modelling and documentation
