      ENGG1000 Introduction to Engineering :::The 1st SPINE unit aimed to develop professional, transferable and employability skills. The unit has two objectives; 1) to develop the required self-management skills to be successful in the field of engineering. this includes time management skills, professional behaviour, empathy and metacognitive skills. 2) to develop related and transferable hands-on prototyping skills through a serious of workshops. In the process, students will be able to contextualise their learning and develop basic fundamental prototyping skills required for them to be involved in a team-based project by the subsequent SPINE unit.ENGG2050 Engineering Systems and Design Thinking :::The 3rd SPINE unit aimed to develop professional, transferable and employability skills. The unit deals with the design of complex systems from a top-down perspective. Students will be exposed to different engineering management approaches (waterfall and Agile) and other tools involved in the field of systems engineering. Students will be able to apply Design Thinking processes and apply problem-solving heuristics to solve complex engineering systems. Show less

      AERO3000 Flight Dynamics:::Students learn how to represent and evaluate aircraft stability, controllability and handling qualities. Commencing with the characterisation of aerodynamic properties, the course develops the mathematical representations and tools used to model the dynamics and stability of an aircraft, and its response to control. Students will obtain practical numerical skills in mathematical representation through flight simulation.
