Description
In this Foundational level subject, students learn about frameworks used by professional engineers, including those regarding ethics, project management, sustainability, and the economy. Students are given opportunities to investigate and evaluate real-world projects through different perspectives and frameworks used in industry. In particular, there is a focus on how the project has applied principles of sustainability, and to what extent community needs (for example the local communities and other stakeholders) have been considered.
Through the appraisal of engineering projects, students build on the skills they have learned and practiced in Introduction to Engineering Projects to develop further and formalise their understanding of engineering professional practice. After this subject, students are ready to apply their learning to more complex engineering projects, which they will practice in the next core subject.
