Syllabus This unit covers the engineering design and tendering process, used by engineers from all disciplines to determine a solution to a problem. It helps the engineer define the problem, imagine innovative conceptual designs, write and respond to a tender document, prototype possible design solutions, refine several designs to a single final design, and determine specifications of the final design. In order to simulate a real -world experience, students are required to determine the role of the stakeholders in the project, and create an implementation plan for the final design. Students will be working in teams throughout the semester to gain the communication skills which are highly desired by industry. They will be required to reflect on their: work to help them improve in their teamwork skills, personal growth in learning the engineering process, as well as engineering responsibilities and duties. To complete the picture, since engineers need to submit proposals and pitch their ideas to stakeholders within communities and their team members, students will be able to give presentations to their peers, project managers, and possible stakeholders to hone in on their presentation skills. On completion of this unit, students should be able to participate in multidisciplinary conversations about the engineering design and tendering process.

Introduction Engineering Foundations: Principles,Design and Communication (EFPDC) is the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY) foundation unitthat ismade to introduce studentsto the practice of engineering by engaging students through the stages of a typical engineering project. EFPDCfocuses on 5 main concepts:communication skills,teamwork,design process,tendering process, andreflective practice. Long gone are the days that engineers are isolated individualsonly crunching numbers behind a desk. The role of an engineer today requiressoft skills, suchcommunications skills (writing reports, discussingideas,giving presentations, pitching designs, etc) andteamwork skills, in addition to the needed analytical skills and in -depth understanding of the situation to create the solution. This is because solutions are not made in a vacuum, but rather by engaging with the stakeholders of a project, determining the correct set of criteria and constraints prior to a solution,and then building a sustainable solution that utilises appropriate technology. INDE1001 will step you through an engineering project in 3 stages: l

l

l

Stage 1: You will understand the role of stakeholders in creating design criteria. Then you will create an appropriate sustainable solution to the problem, and submit plans to build a prototype that represents the whole solution or key elements in the solution Stage 2: You will engage in the tendering process to outsource your design to a set of contractors to build according to your team's specifications. Stage 3: You will pitch your idea to a panel of stakeholders, and reflect on your goals and growth through the engineering design process.

Our project, this year, will be obtained from projects created by Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and a partnering non- governmental organisation (NGO) in a chosen least developed community. Each semester, 2 projects will be enrolled in the EWB Challenge. The ultimate win for a team of this unit is to have their project acknowledged by the NGO at the EWB Challenge, and asked to be implemented in the community.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes. Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit. On successful completion of this unit students can: 1

Apply technical theory and communication skills to engineering design and processes, which include key concepts such as principles of sustainable design and development, ethical judgement, risk management and economical implications

2

Analyse and clearly communicate the concepts, specific technical terms and procedures used in the tendering process

3

Work collaboratively with others and articulate practices that lead to successful teamwork, in a multicultural context

4

Reflect upon the engineering profession, the solution to the humanitarian engineering problem and the processes involved in successful teamwork

Learning Activities In order to help you achieve thegoals of the unit, the following learning activities are provided:  Lecture (1 x two hour weekly)

Lectures are important since this is the place where the concepts of design will be discussed. This is where theory, followed by application, of the design process are explained. Activities are started in the lecture and may continue to the project meetings. There are 12 lectures provided within the semester, which overall provide a clear picture of the design and tendering process and what is expected in an engineering profession. The lecture topics are provided on the program calendar, which is found at the end of the unit outline. Topics discussed are meant to not only give you an understanding of what you need to know to perform the task for this unit, but also to give you an understanding of what will be expected of you when you work in the field as an engineer, as well as providing you with a bigger picture of what engineering is about. This is also the place where announcements are given concerning the unit. As a result, you are held responsible for all things that are said in the lectures. 

Ideas / theory without application results in just ideas. As a result, in order to learn how to do engineering design, you must do an engineering design project. In the project (aka Workshops)     (1 x three -hour weekly)   meetings, which is 3 consecutive hours of time, you will continue to apply the theory that is learned in lecture by working on the design of a solution to a problem selected from the EFPDCdesign brief. This involves performing guided activities, which may have started in the lecture, that will elaborate on some of the theory that was discussed in lecture, followed by a time where your team is able to apply the theory to your project. Each week, there will be something written or constructed that is due; and individual grades are given by evidence of work as a group, and as an individual. Attendance is requiredand will be reflected in your individual marks attributed to your logsheets. Failure to attend the project meetings or showing up but not doing work at the project meetings will be interpreted as lack of work for that week, similar to being absent from your job. Project managers have been assigned to your class, and have the job to guide your team to the completion of your project. And just like project managers in industry, they are driven by results. They are there to guide you, and assume that you understand the theory that was taught in lecture; just like a project manager in industry assumes that you know the basics taught in your course in the university. Due to time constraints, not all key ideas discussed in the lecture will be found in activities in the workshop. However, you will be accountable to know and apply all information discussed in the lecture. As a result, it is important that you attend lecture before attending the project meetings.
