ENGN4221 — Systems Engineering Project

code: ENGN4221
name: Systems Engineering Project
unit value: 6
description: This course is designed to mimic an industrial design problem as closely as practical in a university setting. Students are assigned to teams and given an ill-defined problem statement. From the problem statement, the students are responsible for developing the full set of requirements and key performance indicators to guide the design. The students then proceed through a systems design process including conceptual design, sub-system requirements, and quantitative tradeoff analyses, using the full range of engineering science and professional skills developed during the degree course. The course emphasises teamwork (both team leadership and membership), communication skills (formal and informal, written and oral), and team and personal management and a professional approach to engineering design.

course learning outcomes:
  1. Synthesise technical engineering knowledge and approaches to generate solutions to a complex design project.
  2. Develop, analyse, and critically evaluate alternative design options in order to justify and generate designs in a real-world project.
  3. Apply project management and organisational skills to produce time-sensitive deliverables in a multi-disciplinary team.
  4. Effective transmission of engineering design decisions and solutions using appropriate media to professional and lay audiences.
  5. Demonstrate and reflect on leadership and creativity as an individual and within a multi-disciplinary team.
