ENEG20001 Australian Engineering Practice

Discussion on engineer’s roles and responsibilities of involved into profession work to relate science to best possible translation of resources of nature  Manage information and documentation and explain the principles of sustainable engineering are taking into account of decision making for research as well as industrial projects.

This particular assignment deals with the evaluation and determination of the third generation bio diesel preparation for the study. In order to effectively carryout the project, a detailed team charter and project plan has been developed. The detailed project plan has identified the project goal as exploring the different feedstock’s for Third Generation Biodiesel to its preparation and conducting detailed study for engine performance and emission. Further, the project focuses for the derivation of the algal biomass for obtaining alternate biodiesel and for avoiding the disadvantages of the current technologies. Apart from that, a detailed time line has been generated for visualizing the schedule and keeping the project progress on track.

Before starting the actual work for the review and evaluation of the project, I have developed the allocation of the team members and detailed communication plan for ensuring proper flow of information among the team members. In the first portfolio developed the historical impact of engineers on the society has been evaluated. From the analysis, it has been identified that the engineers helps in forming a bridge between the society and science. The work and impact observed from the engineers helps in making the lifestyle more advances and easy. Nevertheless, it has been reviewed that apart from having positive impact on the society, the engineers have various negative impact as well. The work of an engineer deals with the proper balance between the quality and budget of the project. Often focusing on completing the project within the short budget degrades the quality of the project.

This results in various disasters, financial loss and even loss of reputation of the engineers. For this context, the ethics and professionalism that needs to be followed in Australian context. Apart from that, the report also illustrated the various competency standards and criteria that need to be followed by the Engineers Australia.  Furthermore, for the identification of the competency standards the skills and criteria along with self assessment has been carried out according to the stage one competency standards. In this assessment, the engineering application ability and the knowledge and skill base has been evaluated. Moreover, various codes of ethics has been identified that helps in providing quality and standard work without compromising on the positive impact of the society.

Furthermore, the responsibility and roles of an engineer has been identified and evaluated based on the undertaken project work. In this particular assignment, the roles and responsibility of an engineer are limited to the identification of the existing problem, conducting detailed research and determine the detailed specification for conducting the study. Moreover, in this project the various aspect and domain for engineering for obtaining sustainability has been identified and highlighted in this assignment. Development of the documentation and managing the sensitive information within the project has been identified as a significant characteristic of for the engineer competency. Apart from that, in the last portfolio, the learning outcome of the assignment has been evaluated based on the team participation, demonstration of self management and self review.
