Unit description

Applies a systems-based engineering approach to analysis, design and management of energy and power systems, including renewable energy systems and smart grids. There is a particular focus on regional and national energy and power systems with special emphasis on electricity and thermal 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 integrates a detailed technical knowledge of energy analysis, energy systems planning and management, renewable energy technologies and smart grid technology with other relevant contextual factors to address a complex problem related to energy and power systems

evaluate and creatively apply advanced engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to analyse and design solutions to a complex problem related to energy and power systems

select, define, successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a complex project related to energy and power systems

self-assess conduct and performance as a professional engineer in contributing to the successful completion of a complex project related to energy and power systems.
