ENGN3301 — Engineering Design 4B: Systems Approaches for Operations

code: ENGN3301
name: Engineering Design 4B: Systems Approaches for Operations
unit value: 6
description: In Engineering Design 4B: Systems Approaches for Operations, you will learn industry-relevant techniques to operate and innovate in a design project over the entire system life cycle, from problem conception through to project retirement. ED4B is the fifth course in the interdisciplinary engineering design core. The project in this course continues the project in ED4A Systems Approaches for Management, allowing you to design the management and operation processes in a significant project over two semesters.

During the early stages of the course, you will learn project operations techniques relevant for optimising outcomes in large-scale, complex engineering projects. This includes understanding legislative and statutory requirements of the professional engineer, including processes for compliance and due-diligence, and intellectual property considerations in a project, including commercial arrangements for sharing sensitive information. You will undertake independent study modules in a range of topics, including the commercial arrangements in profit and not-for-profit business models, workplace health and safety, lean start-up methodology, dealing with difficult stakeholders and change management in large organisations.
