Unit description

Applies a systems-based engineering approach to the analysis, design, and management of energy systems, with a particular focus on thermofluids. 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 engineering with other relevant contextual factors to address a complex problem related to energy systems

evaluate and creatively apply energy engineering methods to analyse and design solutions to a complex problem related to energy systems

implement the management and communication of the outcomes from a complex project related to energy systems¿

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