| Brief description of the Unit |
The unit covers a basic process in engineering design, where students will be equipped with professional skills through steps-by-steps in solving real-world engineering problems. Students will gain an understanding in some fundamental principles in mathematics, physics and engineering sciences and competency in the technical tools and techniques required to successfully complete an engineering project. Moreover, by collaborating with other students in conducting, managing and delivering the engineering project, students will develop broad skill sets in communication, management, professional documentation and oral presentations which are strongly desired by industry. |

| 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.
