    This should be the last unit of study in the Associate Degree of Engineering. Associate Degree students need to demonstrate 30 days of relevant experience to graduate.

Unit description

Develops understanding of the technical, commercial and financial elements required to successfully tender for projects. Students will develop a working knowledge of estimating methods, quantity takeoffs, costs, and price determination, in addition to learning the importance of non-cost based components and considerations and evaluation of tenders. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying the knowledge and skills developed throughout their studies to complete a real industry-based engineering project tender.

Learning outcomes

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:

identify and evaluate current emerging trends and issues as part of a tender

design the tender requirements for a program of investigation to gather the required data to resolve a well-defined engineering problem

produce detailed costing and work schedules for a tender

develop a skills and competency matrix for a team to meet the tender requirements to deliver a project that incorporates diverse cultural and Indigenous perspectives

reflect on and self-assess development of proficiency in the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies for Engineering Associates

prepare a bid evaluation report for an engineering project, working in a team.
