EF101 - Professional Skills
10 credit points 4.5 hours per week for one semester Prerequisites:
nil
Objectives and content
A first year subject for all degree courses in engineering
which provides an introduction to the roles and
communication skills of engineers in the workplace and
community.
The subject is taught as two components:
(a) Professional engineering - in which students explore
ideas and improve their understanding of engineering
and communication skills through oral presentations
and written reports. Students experience working as
part of an engineering team by undertaking a design
project . . in which they create and communicate a design
solution.
(b) Graphical communications - in which students learn to
communicate and present ideas through graphical means
using engineering standards and conventions.
The two components of the subject will be integrated
through the completion of an engineering design project.
