Synopsis

In  order  that  engineering and surveying practitioners  continue  to
provide the services expected of them, they must be good communicators
and  capable  of balancing the needs of society in such a  way  as  to
enable  sustainable development. These needs include a viable  natural
environment and an equitable and satisfying community.

The  purpose of this unit is to introduce students to engineering  and
surveying  in  a  stimulating  way  and  to  provide  them  with  some
understanding   and  skills  which  will  enable   them   to   operate
effectively. Areas covered in approximately equal parts  will  be  the
nature  of  engineering and surveying, the interactions of engineering
and  surveying  with  society and the environment, and  communications
skills. These areas are covered by a series of Australian case studies
in Engineering and Surveying.
