Overview
This unit develops problem-solving skills related to two important aspects of a successful engineering career: leadership and innovation. Innovation topics adopt a systematic approach to design solutions to lead technological change in the industry. Leadership topics adopt a systematic approach to cope with challenging situations in the leadership process. The systematic approach uses practical tools to analyse the current state of the problem, recommend general solution(s) based on relevant methodology and theories, and design specific solution(s) to solve problems. These practical tools are useful for continuous improvements and development of problem solving skills for both technical and non-technical problems.
