Aims and objectives
This unit of study aims to cover the skills and knowledge required to holistically optimise information flows using Industry 4.0 tools. The student will learn to research and use various technologies which include modelling software, PLM, augmented reality/virtual reality software.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
2. Manage and optimise information flows from ideation to disposal using PLM. (S1, A3 A6)
3. Create digital twin using predictive analysis. (K4, S1)
4. Create augmented/Virtual reality-based tool to perform an Engineering task. (K2, K4, S1)
5. Create mobile app to monitor and control an Engineering system. (K4, S2, A3)
6. Develop and manage strategies to implement, collaborate, plan, and roadmap an engineering system using Industry 4.0 business models. (K6, S2, A2, A6, A7)
Swinburne Engineering Competencies (A1-7, K1-6, S1-4): find out more about Engineering Skills and Competencies including the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies.
