Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
Learning outcome count Learning outcome description GA1 GA2 GA3 GA4 GA5 GA6 GA7
1 utilise Excel, Visual Basic and other software to implement numerical methods for solving problems
2 understand and implement basic numerical algorithms for computing solutions of nonlinear and linear equations and optimisation
3 demonstrate an understanding of differential equations and apply numerical methods for solving differential equations and integration
4 demonstrate proficiency in the application of simulations, such as Monte Carlo simulations
5 formulate and numerically solve problems in civil engineering applications.
