Abstract

The field of engineering is undergoing rapid advances in knowledge application. Present drivers for the advances in engineering are clearly electronics, materials engineering, and information technology. As innovation applications abound, employers expect educators to produce students having the latest knowledge of advances in their native discipline. This aim needs to be achieved in the same four-year time-frame and yet the degree needs to contain increasing research-orientated content to comply with Australian Quality Framework requirements. How these ends can be achieved within the context of a high-quality engineering degree becomes a challenging task. The author suggests that a solution can arise by utilising a systems approach from the very first year of an engineering degree across several electro-mechanical disciplines.
