Students commencing studies in engineering and the built environment not only need a solid grounding in engineering science, but the ability to develop the methodologies and core skills that enable them to study and eventually perform as professionals in their discipline. From their first exposure to the field, students should be encouraged to think as professionals, hone their developing skills on authentic problems and learn from experienced practitioners.

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the engineering and built environment professions, to provide them with an understanding of the fundamental concepts of engineering science and to develop the basic skills necessary to effectively study in an engineering or spatial science discipline. Students will learn how to apply these skills and knowledge, using an engineering systems approach, to a range of authentic multidisciplinary engineering-based problems. Topics covered include the nature of engineering and the built environment; fundamentals of engineering science and their application; study skills and an exposure to a range of professional skills including technical communications, ePortfolios, calculation and presentation tools and information literacy.
