Master Of Engineering Management
ENG4008.10 Sustainable Development and Design Practice
This subject provides students with an understanding of sustainability and concepts of sustainable development. Students gain an understanding of sustainability and unsustainability, sustainability assessments including life-cycle impact assessment and end-of-life product management strategies, solutions for sustainability and sustainable development, triple bottom line and commercial viability. It integrates social, economic, and environmental considerations in engineering design and practice. By engaging in the subject content and class discussions, and completing the assessment tasks, students are able to apply their learning within various scenarios and reflect upon and develop relevant professional skills and competencies. Individual students set up a program-based professional portfolio, which is to track and facilitate professional learning and development across all subjects of the MEM program. This is done by self-assessing their competencies at the start of each subject/semester and setting personal learning goals to work on the development of their skills and competencies, and to be prepared for the real world of work after graduation.
