Course Summary
This course is the second 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, OENG1281:
- 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 second part of the project (Part B) focuses on (and assesses) the application of Systems Engineering processes to the following tasks:
- revising your project planning based on the outcomes achieved from your Engineering Industrial Project Part A,
- development of a comprehensive test plan for the final product and comparison against the project specifications the application of a methodical design process for the systemic optimisation and embodiment of an engineered solution,
- the manufacture of a tangible deliverable (where appropriate),
- the test and verification of the solution,
- a comprehensive suite of relevant project documentation (such as reports and drawings).
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).
