| Brief description of the Unit |
This course is intended to engage students with the field of manufacturing engineering and familiarise them with modern techniques and methods adopted for processing and product development. In so doing, attention will be given to such aspects as profitability, sustainability and appropriateness of manufacturing methods selected for a given design. Students enrolled in the course will engage in problem solving and research-based activities. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
