    EGB100 Engineering Sustainability and Professional Practice is a 14-week course that covers topics such as engineering design, project management, sustainability, ethics, and professional skills. It involves both individual and group work assessments related to an Engineers Without Borders challenge. The course introduces students to complex engineering concepts through lectures, tutorials, readings, and hands-on activities. Guest lecturers address subjects like systems thinking, climate change adaptation, and indigenous understanding. Students work in groups on a semester-long project to develop solutions for a community, producing interim and final reports. The course aims to prepare future engineers to tackle real-world problems with a sustainable and socially responsible approach.
