Content
This capstone unit requires students to work in inter-disciplinary teams to design a complex infrastructure engineering project.
Students will engage with project management methodologies and engineering decision-making that prioritises environmental, social, and economic domains. This includes a comprehensive understanding and application of: stakeholder engagement, sustainability and ethical factors, environmental considerations such as biodiversity protection and waste avoidance and minimisation, social considerations such as community needs and cultural heritage, and economic and life-cycle costs. Students will apply these principles to a real-world engineering infrastructure development project, with an explicit focus on demonstrating how their design achieves measurable outcomes that enhance both natural and social capital.
