Technology and Innovation ZAS225
Introduction
In this unit you will explore technology and innovation in the fermentation industry. You will develop your understanding of the drivers of innovation across industries through case studies relating to biotech, product and process development, Industry 4.0, and business. This will involve exploring practices through a sustainability lens. During a series of workshops, you will learn and apply contemporary innovation tools (e.g. design thinking, liberating structures) to undertake a collaborative industry project whilst utilising the skills and knowledge that you have acquired during your degree.
In addition, this unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.
You will be introduced to:
- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences
- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice
- the nature of responsible, accountable, and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice.
You will exercise self-awareness, initiative, and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual
