Description
The Indigenous peoples of Australia have lived sustainably in Australia for tens of thousands of years. Many of these approaches to sustainability are increasingly recognised as the application of sophisticated engineering principles that remain relevant today. Students work on a group design project with a focus on sustainability, especially in regard to Indigenous approaches to sustainability and environmental stewardship. In this subject, students develop their understanding of Indigenous knowledge.
This subject can be considered the capstone of the core, in that it asks students to practice skills they have developed as well as demonstrate graduate-level skills and understanding in teamwork and sustainability, and the progressive development of their Indigenous Professional Capability. Building on students’ introduction to engineering teamwork through collaborating on design projects in Introduction to Engineering Projects and Designing Sustainable Engineering Projects, in this subject, students are expected to apply what they have learned about collaboration to working collegially in diverse teams on a challenging project in a complex context. Students are also challenged to further develop and apply their understanding of sustainability, to advance beyond what was introduced in previous core subjects.
