Engineering Assignment

Questions : Discuss engineers' roles, responsibilities and the need to employ principles of sustainable development. a. You have now been working on your team project for many weeks. Reflect on the roles and responsibilities you have taken on in your team and how that relates to what you have read in the Trevelyan textbook. b. How do you understand sustainability in engineering? Discuss one way in which sustainability can lead to a 'better' engineering solution? How did you define ‘better’? c. Your values are important in determining how you might respond if you found yourself in a situation of ethical conflict. Try to identify at least two values that you believe have an impact on how you live and work. 4. Manage information and documentation. a. Having many members of a team work on a project together means that you can achieve a great deal more than if you were working by yourself. However, it also creates some challenges. One challenge is ensuring version control of reports and drawings. What processes has your team put in place to share information and ensure that everyone works on the most recent version of a document? 5. Communicate effectively across a range of contexts. a. It is important as a professional that you learn to communicate appropriately with a range of stakeholders and mediums. Email is one medium that is commonly used in current practice. Give an example of an email you have sent to either your team or facilitator that demonstrates your ability to communicate effectively and professionally. What do you think makes this an effective communication? Give an example of an email that you think is unprofessional – it does not need to be a genuine email, you can write a mock email.
