About this Unit

This unit covers the engineering design and tendering process, used by engineers from all disciplines to determine a solution to a problem. It helps the engineer define the problem, imagine innovative conceptual designs, write and respond to a tender document, prototype possible design solutions, refine several designs to a single final design, and determine specifications of the final design. In order to simulate a real-world experience, students are required to determine the role of the stakeholders in the project, and create an implementation plan for the final design. Students will be working in teams throughout the semester to gain the communication skills which are highly desired by industry. They will be required to reflect on their: work to help them improve in their teamwork skills, personal growth in learning the engineering process, as well as engineering responsibilities and duties. To complete the picture, since engineers need to submit proposals and pitch their ideas to stakeholders within communities and their team members, students will be able to give presentations to their peers, project managers, and possible stakeholders to hone in on their presentation skills. On completion of this unit, students should be able to participate in multidisciplinary conversations about the engineering design and tendering process. This unit is designed for those students who have passed Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) Mathematics Methods or equivalent.
