Unit description

Introduces students to the application of a systems-based engineering approach to design of smart sensing and control systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.

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:

employ a systems approach that accounts for existing and emerging practical knowledge of sensor technology and control systems behaviour along with other relevant contextual factors to define and analyse a well-defined problem related to smart sensing and control systems

apply practical engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to design solutions to a well-defined problem related to smart sensing and control systems

successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a well-defined project related to smart sensing and control systems

self-assess use of management skills, social skills and professional judgement in contributing to the successful completion of a well-defined project related to smart sensing and control systems.
