Software Engineering Group Project

The Software Engineering group project gives students in-depth experience in developing software applications in groups. Participants work in groups to develop a complex real application. At the end of this course you will have practiced the skills required to be a Software Engineer in the real world, including gaining the required skills to be able to develop complex applications, dealing with vague (and often conflicting) customer requirements, working under pressure and being a valuable member of a software development team.

Mechanical Engineering Design

This course will cover more in-depth engineering design methods than ENME301 and cover procedures that are not included in the engineering science subjects. The subject matter will have a core mechanical design focus, with additional experience in calculation sets and drawing presentations. In particular, it covers fatigue in steel structures, the use of standards, pressure vessel design, and sustainability in manufacturing using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). Overall students are brought to a level where they can undertake a substantial mechanical engineering design problem, in a methodical manner, and can produce a professional quality design report.

Process Engineering Design 2

This course introduces students to key concepts of process design, including the detailed design of unit operations. The course builds on the topics covered in the 2nd year and ENCH390 Process Design 1 and begins to explores how unit operations can interact to shift the overall optimal operating conditions away from, say, the conditions that optimise a reactor alone. The course also extends the process safety concepts introduced in ENCH295 to cover quantitative analysis techniques and provides an introduction to materials engineering for chemical engineers. An introduction to engineering materials is also provided to guide students to select proper materials for their process design and future applications. Considering that most industry relies on technology, and the world is in patent war, an introduction to intellectual property will be given.
