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:

critically evaluate and reflect on social, environmental and economic aspects of sustainable engineering projects

apply evaluation tools for sustainable engineering practice decisions

identify and critically evaluate a range of emerging sustainable technologies
