EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This particular unit of the Australian Engineering practice has assisted the learners to get the
much-needed knowledge and experience in the engineering practices especially in the context
of the Australian. The presented portfolio illustrates the full knowledge of the skills that has
been obtained in the duration of three months by Kumara Venkata Gowtham Tapetal in the
term 1 of 2018.The unit focuses on the 7 learning outcomes which are studied to enlighten or
to shed more light to the learners on the duties and their responsibilities as a professional with
high ethical and moral values Basart, and Serra 2013. The part that follows is the team project
in which the section of the student work together as they are guided by their supervisor. In
this case the project that is under the study is called the “RENEWABLE ENERGY
CONVERSION TO ELECTRICITY”
The portfolio has the reflections on every learning results that has been obtained, the used
workbook during the lesions covered, the students work as per the slides of the presentations.
The required grades A have been claimed using the nomination tables. The most interesting
section of the entire project is the team project. This is because the interactions with the
teammates resulted into the acquisition of the unknown knowledge and this really assisted me
in improving my skills.
In general, the portfolio is that proof and enough evidence of “Kumara Venkata Gowtham
Tapetal” in the claiming of the sufficient knowledge in the understanding and of course
implementing all the learning outcomes. The other areas that have been complied with
extends to the qualifications together with the strict adherence to the codes of ethics and other
skills of the management that an engineer is required to have as per the Australian authorities.

GRADE NORMINATIONS
Historical impacts of the engineering on the society and the possible learning outcomes.
Engineering is normally regarded as the activity of the creative thinking. The electric bulb
that today is very useful in our daily lives was created by an individual called Edison
Thomas. The telephone was developed by the individual called Graham Bell and Sydney
Opera house by Ove Arup and World web by Berners Lee. These very important and much
useful ideas were brought into the existence by the engineers. There has been a gradual
increase on the impacts of the engineers on the society from the historical dates up to today
lives.
Some of the creative things that have been done by the engineers may not have been exposed
but the truth of the matter is that they are a lot. Life has been made better through the
inventions by the engineers such as gas turbines, the motor vehicles among others. The usage
of the smart phone is purely attributed to the invention of the silicon chips. The inventions in
the agricultural sector has helped in the improvement of the yields of the crops and the
animals. The advancement of the current technologies and the other new inventions has led to
the increased pressure on the natural resources. The number of the individuals using the smart
phones have increased and also the use of the computers. The sad story about this
aggressiveness in the invention is that the natural resources are slowly depleted e.g.
aluminium. These resources cannot easily return back once they have ben exploited since
their maturity duration is very long. The machines that are used in the exploitation are also
manufactured in the industries. These industries have toxic waste that pollutes the
environment.
