Summary of Engineering Design 3

1. Engineering Design 3 will run throughout both trimester 1 and 2.

2. Team projects

– 6-8 students per team

– Students choose their own projects within a theme

– Students do NOT choose their team members, academics do

– Improved teams (organised member roles and responsibilities)

3. Mentors instead of Supervisors

4. Lectures

– Lectures topics and teachings parallel with project process

5. Project Assessment

– Team and Individual

6. Trade Fair
