<p>A professional engineer needs to be able to convey an idea to a diverse audience, manage their and others' time, and collaborate with other disciplines. This unit provides an introduction to the techniques that engineers use in the work environment to manage a project and develop ideas for a more sustainable future. The unit develops a basic understanding of how engineers analyse a problem and find an appropriate solution, taking into account all constraints, such as environmental, financial, technical, and social. You will be introduced to the process of working in teams and how to clearly communicate to yield an appropriate solution to an engineering problem. Through major team challenges, your skill of working or leading a team with effective communication will be honed.</p>
