Handbook

This is a capstone design course for the engineering program where students undertake a design project, as a team, under simulated business conditions, using the systems engineering approach. The design team is tutored through the engineering development processes including:

• The overarching project management.
• Requirements engineering and specification practice.
• Technical performance measures.
• Design and optimisation of system elements.
• Interface control and system integration.
• Failure mode and effect analysis.
• Lifecycle design considerations such as availability and serviceability.
• Product cost analysis.
• Manufacturability analysis.
• Technical risk management and design reviews.

Individual students will design at least one element of the system.

Experts from within the school and externally are consulted as required. Internal and external experts are also involved in the design reviews which are the main means of assessment for the course.
