Subject Overview:	In this subject, students develop and practice their capabilities of problem identification and finding solution for a broad range of practical problems they will encounter in their career. Typical problems may include irrigation and drainage design, hydrogeological problems such as landfill containment, catchment management, stream rehabilitation and rehabilitation of degraded land such as mine sites. Particular emphasis will be placed on how projects are managed/implemented within each working group and how group members are making coordinated efforts to achieve the design goals.
Objectives:	This subject aims to provide students with training and experience of problem solving and resources management by assigning them to a range of engineering problems that require group-based work.
Assessment:	Three written group reports and participation (30% each) One assignment not exceeding 20 pages each inclusive of diagrams, tables, computations and computer output (10%) Students must attend the site visit
Prescribed Texts:	None
Breadth Options:	This subject is not available as a breadth subject.
Fees Information:	Subject EFTSL, Level, Discipline & Census Date
Generic Skills:	Ability to identify the dominant processes in time and space that govern the flux of water, soil and/or other environmental variables for a given scenario. Ability to describe integrated conceptual and/or mathematical models of the dominant processes. Given basic data about the scenario, capability to generate predicted states of the system as a result of natural or anthropogenic disturbances to the system. Ability to interpret the predicted states into a form useful for management decisions to be made about the system. Ability to make coordinated efforts with group members to achieve project goals.
