Unit Code: DPL642

Unit Name: Plant Engineering Project

Description: The course provides instruction in the application of basic knowledge in the design of \\\"real life\\\" engineering problems from local industries. Based on your knowledge of several previous and concurrent courses, you will learn how to select and define a technical project, find design solutions for the problem and then prepare and present your technical solutions to the industrial client. You will develop a technical proposal and apply advanced research skills to a technical problem. You will use the technical problem-solving process in an applied research project and present your research findings in a written report and oral presentation.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, you should be able to: 1. Design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations. 2. Demonstrate knowledge of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to engineering technician practice and solutions to well-defined engineering problems. 3. Identifies the major factors that have impacts on the sustainability of practical and technical project work. 4. Demonstrates an understanding of the moral responsibilities of an engineering technician and upholds standards in the engineering profession. 5. Contributes constructively to team decision-making, and earns the trust and confidence of other team members. 6. Communicate effectively on well-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend the work of others, document their work, and give and receive clear instructions. 7. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply these to one’s work, as a member or leader in a technical team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments. 8. Demonstrates self-awareness of own level of competence and identifies opportunities to extend own competence promptly.
