Description

This unit develops skills in solving complex engineering problems using computer-aided approaches. The unit builds on previously developed skills in engineering analysis, and extends the underlying theories to encompass problems that may be dynamic or non-linear, and often require computer-based modelling for their solution.

Prerequisite Rule

Must have passed MAT1236

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Develop and express formal models for a range of engineering applications in civil, mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering.
  2. Develop and apply analytical, computational and simulation models for these applications.
  3. Use appropriate computer-aided tools to undertake these engineering systems modelling and simulation tasks.
  4. Develop, interpret and justify engineering design solutions based on these systems models.

Unit Content

  1. Introduction to the underlying theories for the modelling of complex engineering dynamic systems.
  2. Application of these theories to practical engineering problems in various domains, including civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.
  3. Formal analysis of data collected from simulated and experimental systems.
  4. Use of computer-aided modelling tools to model, simulate and solve these problems using the underpinning engineering formulations.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.

The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
