What it covers
Infrastructure and technology projects have enormous potential to impact communities, culture and society. This unit aims to deepen students understanding of their social responsibility to create sustainable outcomes while working on industry-linked projects in teams. Students will explore the intersection of infrastructure, technology, and society at a local, national and international level. Within Australia, infrastructure projects occur on Country. Students will explore the concept of Caring for Country along with the diversity of Indigenous perspectives, knowledge systems, and contemporary issues that intersect with infrastructure and technology. This unit will introduce students to professional values, ethics, working cross-culturally, and professional purpose.
