ENGN3300 — Engineering Design 4A: Systems Approaches for Management

code: ENGN3300
name: Engineering Design 4A: Systems Approaches for Management
unit value: 6
description: In Engineering Design 4A: Systems Approaches for Management, you will develop industry-relevant techniques to manage a design project over the entire system life cycle, from problem conception through to project retirement. ED4A is the fourth course in the interdisciplinary engineering design core, and is followed by ED4B Systems Approaches for Operations. The project is common between the two courses, allowing you to design the management and operation processes for a significant project over two semester.

During the early stages of the course, you will learn project management techniques essential for delivering large-scale, complex engineering projects. This includes breaking projects into manageable parts, planning, scheduling, resourcing, controlling, accounting, balancing multiple criteria, and risk management. You will undertake independent study modules in a range of topics, including organisational structures, quality management, business and start-up planning, tenders and human resourcing.
