Nanotechnology - how small can or should we go? Are cell phones safe? The aim of the course is to develop an appreciation of design as a key aspect of professional engineering. Course elements: sketching and interpretation of engineering drawings; preparation of drawings using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software; design projects, some of which will require teamwork and cover design-build-test activities; an introduction to the engineering design process. An introduction to planar mechanics including: free body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid bodies, friction, distributed forces, internal forces, shear force and bending moment diagrams, kinematics and kinetics of particles, work and energy, relative motion, kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies. Introduction to problem solving in engineering through the use of the software package MATLAB, and the high level programming language C. Introduction to chemical and biological systems. The application of engineering analysis and design techniques to facilitate understanding the multiscale structure, function and interactions of such systems. The use of case studies to illustrate systems approaches to chemistry and biology. An accelerated course replacing ENGGEN 121 and ENGSCI 111 for well-prepared and conjoint students. Topics include: Free body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid bodies, internal forces, shear force and bending moment diagrams, work and energy, motion of particles and rigid bodies. Introduction to mathematical modelling. Differentiation and integration, numerical integration. Differential equations, Vector and matrix algebra. Introduction to probability. To complete this course students must attain a level of competency in the English language as determined by the Faculty of Engineering. The communication of complex engineering material will be emphasised in the following ways: the use of appropriate engineering graphical software at an advanced level; the use of appropriate multi-media; visual and spoken presentation, in styles appropriate to seminars, conferences, and presentations to technological industries; the construction of industrial displays; and the preparation of engineering reports. An introduction to modern theory and practice of management, including project, quality and financial management appropriate to the engineering profession. A comprehensive investigation, analysis and reporting of a complex engineering design, development or professional engineering problem. Problem synthesis, solution specification, development and reporting as approved by the Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering. Issues of particular relevance to the engineering profession including those relating to the law, ethics, culture and sustainability. An advanced course dealing with the theoretical foundations of innovation, design and new product development. Theory is linked to practice in multidisciplinary teams engaged in innovation and design simulations and case studies. Knowledge and understanding of the historical development of engineering and technology, including the social, cultural and political contexts of that development and its influence upon human society. Topics include the timing and location of engineering/technological development from ancient to modern times in both international and New Zealand contexts with an in-depth analysis of one topic of the student's choosing. The case study may include aspects of design or analysis, a survey and/or evaluation of a problem in any branch of engineering. A student is required to submit a report.

Courses on topics determined each year by the Associate Dean Postgraduate in the Faculty of Engineering. The student will be required to write a research paper of publishable quality on a project supervised by a member of the academic staff. Where possible this project should relate to the analysis of a contemporary situation in an organisation, selected by the candidate, and presented in an academic context. The research paper may present the results of a survey or an evaluation of a particular advance in engineering management practice or the development of a new management strategy or an industrial case study or the description of an engineering management oriented computer software package.
