<p>This unit will develop advanced principles of engineering design. Approaches to the design of specific artifacts are considered in the broader context of the choices presented to a design engineer. The design process includes considerations of safety and compliance with standards. Assessment of failure is also discussed in some depth. This unit is multidisciplinary and the designs demonstrated by student teams will highlight such an<br>
aspect.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
