Course Summary
This course is the first half of a team-based industry project that comprises two sequential courses (Part A and Part B). In this project you will work as a member of a project team at your workplace. You will apply your technical knowledge and the project will provide a vehicle for you to apply the Systems Engineering processes and practices that you have been introduced to in earlier Systems Engineering courses and that are practiced at your place of employment. The project will be undertaken as part of your industry placement and focuses on producing well-managed practical and pertinent solutions to either discipline specific, or cross disciplinary engineering problems, through robust research and established engineering design processes.
To be eligible to enrol in the Melbourne offering of this course, OENG1280:
- you must be employed by an RMIT approved Engineering Apprenticeship industry partner, and
- you must be enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering (Industry Practice) (Honours) plan.
This first part of the project (Part A) focuses on the application of Systems Engineering processes to the following tasks:
- determination of the project requirements, scope, specifications and test criteria,
- establishment of design criteria and constraints and product lifecycle planning,
- project planning, scheduling and milestone determination,
- the critical appraisal of all the relevant published material by way of a literature search and review,
- benchmarking of all related and relevant solutions,
- and hence well-informed consideration of possible solutions.
After successfully passing this course you will undertake the required companion course 'Engineering Industrial Design Project Part B' which will result in the fulfilment of the final project deliverables.
This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
