Calendar notes

An introduction to the principles of design as a fundamental part of engineering practice and a foundation for subsequent design courses. Students are also introduced to essential drawing skills and CAD, and complete group-based design projects. Topics include systems life cycle, design, and introductions to professional issues such as health and safety, ethics, sustainability, cultural diversity, communication, leadership, and teamwork.

Exam rules

Exam 50% (Closed book. 2 hours. Restricted calculators.)

Inclusive learning

Students are urged to discuss privately any impairment-related requirements face-to-face and/or in written form with the course convenor/lecturer and/or tutor.

Other assessment rules

To pass the course, you must get at least 50% in the exam. If your exam mark is less than
50%, your grade will be capped at 45% i.e. D+.

All mark queries in each coursework must be lodged within two weeks after the grades are released on Canvas or BEFORE the final examination day, whichever is earlier.

Coursework may be scaled to ensure uniform marking in all tutorial streams.

Academic integrity

The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting his or her learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the world-wide web. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against electronic source material using computerised detection mechanisms. Upon reasonable request, students may be required to provide an electronic version of their work for computerised review.

All students enrolled at the University of Auckland are required to complete a compulsory Academic Integrity course, usually in their first semester/year of enrolment. The University of Auckland’s full guidelines on procedures and penalties for academic dishonesty are available here.

Student feedback


Actions shared/based on previous feedback

All feedback of the students were read and discussed by the teaching team. Most of them are positive, but there are several things that can still be improved to facilitate the learning of the students. Most of the actions to be taken this semester will be in improving the tutorials and better timeframe of requirements in the course.

This site intends to guide you through your chosen specialisation at the Faculty of Engineering. The semester links lets you view detailed course information for your chosen course. Please note that the structure displayed for your specialisation here will reflect what’s available over the upcoming semesters, but detailed information may be from a previous year.

All the information here is accurate at the time of publication, but you are are advised to additionally consult our official document, the University of Auckland Calendar, for accurate academic regulations, requirements, and policies.
