Objectives
This assessment requires you critically analyse the system design process of a project using the theory and principles studied during the course. This assessment item relates to the course learning outcomes 1 to 5.
Background
Read the introduction to the system design process on page 69 of the recommended text as background for your report.
Details
Write a report which critically analyses the system design process of a project. Projects might include designing a light rail network for a city, more environmentally-conscious buildings or a mine facility. You might not be involved in the project personally, but some connection with the project would make the analysis more meaningful. The report should analyse the following:
- Conceptual system design
- Preliminary system design
- Detail design and development
You may wish to refer to Chapters 2-5 in your recommended text. To demonstrate your research skills and understanding, the report should:
- Include relevant theories and models
- Draw upon relevant sources like journals, books or reputable trade publications in1 analysing the project (at least 10 publications, including a minimum of 3 peer reviewed research articles)
