2025 unit information
Interdisciplinary problem-solving and teamwork are essential skills for all forms of future study and employment. This unit brings together the knowledge and know-how learned in particular disciplines by applying them to a real-world problem solved within a team. Students will continue to develop and explore their individual disciplinary knowledge as they collaborate on a project with students from other disciplines and with external partners. Students will learn to identify and solve actual problems by collecting and analysing data, critically examining and theoretically interpreting information, then communicating findings to diverse audiences.
