Professional communication is an essential part of the engineering design practice. Students will therefore develop:

These will be used to demonstrate their creative problem solving abilities as individuals and as part of an engineering team.

Students will also learn more about:

Once the course has been completed, students will be more effective as engineers and will be able to write appropriate academic and professional engineering texts, as well as demonstrate skills of effective communication in writing and seminar presentations relevant to their engineering program and professional careers.

Students will require access to a computer and an active user account in the Engineering Computer Aided Teaching Suite (CATS). Furthermore, students will need familairity with CAD to the level of MECHENG1006 (at a minimum) and be expected to build upon this using AutoDesk Inventor and Creo Parametrics. Both software packages are available in the University CATS suites, and both are available for students to download from the software provider sites for free. Further information on this can be found on MyUni.

• Face to face lectures,
• Demonstrations,
• Video lectures,
• Examples and
• Team workshops

This course comprises two integrated Engineering Systems Design and Communication. In both areas students will be expected to regularly use and refer to the online teaching resource, MyUni. In addition to this resource there will also be:

• 12 x 1 hour design lecture per week
• 12 x 2 hour design tutorials per week
• 12 x 2 hour communication lecture / workshops

• Engineering Systems Design (12 lectures - 50%)

• Communication (12 lectures - 50%)

A number of assignments will assess the student’s written, graphical and oral communication skills. A group project will determine how well students can combine these skills, combined with their knowledge of engineering and design. The assignments comprise:

*NOTE: the Group elements are subject to peer evaluation. Team members will be empowered to redistribute these marks according to perceived contributions to the project.

Students must perform to the satisfaction of the course coordinator and tutor to pass the assignments and hence the course (refer section 5.5). There is zero tolerance for plagiarism.

So that assignments remain relevant and topical, and so that students do not commence them prior to the set date, their specific details will be provided via MyUni on the dates indicated in the above table. There will be sufficient scope within the assignment criteria to ensure originality. There is zero tolerance for copying and students are advised to read the University policy on plagiarism in order to understand the severe consequences of such actions.

All assignments must be submitted on-line via MyUni, where specific instructions shall be provided. Late assignments will be penalised 10% per day. Extensions for assignments will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation must be made in writing. Assignments will be assessed and returned 2 weeks after the due date. There will be no opportunities for re-submission of work of unacceptable standard.
