ELEC5204 Handbook Outline

• Credit points: 6 Session: Semester 1,Semester 2
• Classes: 3-week intense period of lectures.
• Assumed knowledge: As graduates, they will have a soundly based technical knowledge in engineering or a related area, life skills and work experience.
• Practical field work: Remainder of semester project and field work.
• Campus: Camperdown/Darlington Mode of delivery: Normal (lecture/lab/tutorial) Day

An initial 3-week intense period of lectures will provide all students with the necessary underpinning knowledge. The remainder of the semester would be based on project and field work, requiring the application in, practice of all the generic skills, with teaching staff playing a continuing resource and mentor role.
The project-based learning approach will expose students, in teams, to a series of professional engineering practice challenges to which they must respond in the limited time common in industry. This will be complemented by a small number of individual learning experiences to ensure adequate competence at the individual level. Students will have a working competence in the various elements of engineering practice, and enhanced communication skills that will assist them in their other technical units of study.
