Integrated Natural Resources Engineering Design

Learning Outcomes

• At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to:
  
  
• Identify constraints and requirements given a client-focused design brief (including appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations).
  
• Identify information requirements and select appropriate information from open literature.
  
• Creatively develop and then evaluate systematically alternative solutions in all relevant contexts (e.g. economic, aesthetic, health and safety, environmental, cultural, and ethical).
  
• Undertake analysis to confirm robustness of a proposed solution.
  
• Describe the preferred solution in a coherent written form, with appropriate client focus, and defend those findings orally.
  
• Understand how an engineer functions effectively within a diverse design team in a multi-disciplinary setting.
  
• Apply engineering management principles (e.g. project timeline) to a design project.
  
• Apply economic decision-analysis processes (e.g. present value analysis, economic risk evaluation) to a design project.
  
• Demonstrate an ability to be bi-culturally competent and confident in a project typical for natural resources engineers.
  
• Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in, independent learning in the broadest context of technological change.

University Graduate Attributes

This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:

	Employable, innovative and enterprising Students will develop key skills and attributes sought by employers that can be used in a range of applications.
	Biculturally competent and confident Students will be aware of and understand the nature of biculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand, and its relevance to their area of study and/or their degree.
	Engaged with the community Students will have observed and understood a culture within a community by reflecting on their own performance and experiences within that community.
