Synopsis



This is the second of two units which address, in a generic sense, the
practice of professional engineering and professional surveying.  Like
unit 70061 this unit is concerned with aspects of the work undertaken,
the  performance  required  and  the  responsibilities  borne  by  the
professional engineer and professional surveyor which are  essentially
independent  of the engineering or surveying discipline:  to  a  large
extent these are non-technical matters. As the final practice unit  in
the  B Eng and B Surv degrees this unit is particularly concerned with
interaction with the professions at large.

A  major  part of all engineering and surveying project  work  is  the
appropriate communication of the outcome. This is the major  topic  of
this  unit  and  provides  guidance  and  experience  in  both  verbal
(seminar) and written (thesis) reporting skills. Hence this unit is to
be  undertaken to complement the unit 70712 Project and in  the  final
year  of  the  B  Eng or B Surv degree. The presentation  of  a  major
seminar  on  the work undertaken during the final-year  project  is  a
requirement for the completion of this unit.
