Handbook

You must be currently enrolled in a master’s course in engineering or related STEM and in a related discipline. The unit assumes that you have the necessary foundational knowledge.

This unit incorporates hybrid instructional methods including lectures and computer labs, and an e-learning method that incorporates interactive videos to complement the in-class lab activities.

The main learning approach is active learning which requires you to be involved as a proactive learner in the activities and assignments rather than as a passive listener. There are no right or wrong answers to many of the project questions and activities. This does not imply that any answer is adequate. Some answers will be better than others as they achieve the criteria in a better way.
