In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
As a student in the final year of your Bachelor of Engineering Technology course, you will work independently to manage and implement a project (planned in ENTG13002) that allows you to demonstrate professional capabilities expected of graduating engineering technologists. You will work and learn autonomously, communicate progress and prepare reports and presentations. You will conduct research to support your project decision-making, and you are required to demonstrate critical thinking and document sound analysis and judgement in project working documents and final reporting. You will solve technical problems that arise and evaluate project processes, outcomes and related learning experiences, and you will prepare a formal report, poster, and project presentation. Note that if you completed the prerequisite Planning unit more than two terms ago then you need to check with your academic adviser to see if the project is still available.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisite: ENTG13002 Engineering Technology Project Planning
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Residential Schools
This unit has a Compulsory Residential School for distance mode students and the details are:

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Class feedback and UC reflections
Students appreciate the evening weekly Zoom open discussion sessions.
Continue to offer weekly evening Zoom sessions combined with thesis planning and implementation students to create a supportive environment for delivering the honours projects.
Feedback from UC Reflections
Strengthen student self-assessment of project alignment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Revise the marking rubric to encourage students to align their project to specific targets within the UN Sustainable Development Goals Framework.
- Apply and reflect on Engineers Australia's Stage One Competencies for Engineering Technologists to the planning and implementation phases of engineering projects
- Implement the project plan prepared in the Planning unit in consultation with and guidance from your project adviser(s)
- Think critically, demonstrate sound analysis and make rational judgements and decisions in the implementation phases of your project
- Communicate preliminary results to project adviser(s) promptly to solicit timely and constructive feedback
- Prepare professional project documents that convey the processes and outcomes of your project
- Communicate your project outcomes to project adviser(s), other stakeholders and the wider community.
