This course provides students with a foundation in engineering design practice and prepares them for discipline-specific advanced courses in engineering design. Students will gain experience in the use of digital design techniques and management of larger open-ended, team-based engineering design tasks in a project-based learning environment. Students will learn to create detailed design of real world products and systems by applying design thinking and scientific principles. Students will learn a range of design techniques to contextualize, evaluate, and communicate designs, from generating ideas via sketching to development of digital models and detailed technical drawings that meet the Australian and international standards. Students will develop foundation skills in computer-aided design (CAD) techniques to generate 3D models of products and assemblies and learn to integrate them in augmented and virtual reality tools.
