Overview
As a capstone unit to the suite of Industrial Technology and Design (INTAD) units, this unit engages pre-service teachers with their larger role in the agenda of the delivery of integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education. This unit challenges pre-service teachers to engage secondary school students in an interdisciplinary and applied approached which will excite and engage them with real world application and problem solving. The unit brings together the required hand skills and understanding from the preceding INTAD units to develop a program that will inspire young people with a manufacturing interest towards careers that will build our nation. With the support of the Re-Engineering Australia Foundation, this unit seeks to redress the disjointed approach to STEM with a cohesive learning paradigm which combines these strands on a platform of innovation and creativity.

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.

1 Practical Assessment
Computer Aided Design and Manufacture
This assessment consists of two parts:
Part A: CO2 Race Car 30%
During the Residential School, you will utilise computer aided design and manufacturing software and equipment to
design and make a miniature CO2 gas powered balsa wood car. It is an opportunity to develop an understanding of how
technology can be used to make your ideas a reality. Completion of this task will enable you to demonstrate how to
create cutting paths, set machine parameters, enter computer code, and operate and maintain a CNC router and 3D
printer. Hand tools are applied during the finishing and assembly stages of the course.
The CO2 race car will be assessed on completion during the Residential School. An A4 page of photos of the finished car
is to be submitted via Moodle in the following format:
Last name_First name_CO2 race Car
Part B: Manufacturing Logbook 20%
During and post Residential School, you are required to produce a manufacturing logbook that documents the creation
of the miniature race car. The logbook should describe the aim and objectives of each stage of manufacture, as well as
outline relevant challenges, solutions, quality control measures and health & safety issues. The logbook will provide
evidence of your work in the form of photos, screen shots, videos and annotations. It must demonstrate an
understanding and application of computer aided design and manufacture as well as manual finishing processes. All
work is to be collated and presented in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. A template is provided. The Manufacturing
logbook is to be submitted online via the Moodle website in the following format:

2 Portfolio
Portfolio Assessment: STEM and 3D Computer Aided Design
This Assessment task consists of 3 parts:
Part A: Four Quizzes 10%
The initial study introduces STEM education, F1 in Schools Challenge, Aerodynamics and CNC manufacture.
Four quizzes require you to instigate the four topics on selected readings and media provided and online.
Questions will be available on the Moodle website each Monday and remain open until the following Monday
at midnight. Students have a maximum of 60 minutes per quiz. You are allowed two attempts for each quiz.
Quizzes are due in Weeks 2 and 3
Part B - Computer Aided Design (CAD) Car Model 15%
You are required to utilize computer aided design (CAD) software, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to
model and test a car design. By following the CAD tutorials provided you will be shown how to create and modify a basic
race car suitable for side machining using Autodesk Inventor.
To complete this task, you will need to download the CAD software ‘Autodesk Inventor Professional’ and ‘Autodesk Flow
Design’ from the Autodesk Education Community website. Use your student email to first register and then
download the necessary software.
http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/all
CAD Car model is to be submitted online via the course Moodle website in two parts.
1. The inventor part file (ipt.) titled
Last name_First name _C02CAR2 Model
2. The inventor drawing file (idw.) titled
Last name_First name_C02CAR Compliance Drawing
Part C - Design Folio Exemplar 25%
Scenario:
As a teacher at a secondary school and you have been asked to run an after school club. The principal has specified it
should be STEM based activity and suggested the F1 in Schools challenge. The challenge involves designing and making
a miniature F1 race car. The car is to be made from balsa wood and be powered only by a single gas cylinder containing
8 grams of pressurised C02. It must be able to travel the 20-meter distance as quickly as possible, and withstand the
forces of launch acceleration, track traversing and physical deceleration. In addition, its design and manufacture must
adhere to detailed rules and regulations outlined in the Technical-Regulations for a cadet class competitor. To be
prepared, you have decided to produce a design folio exemplar to be used when teaching the project. The folio is to
demonstrate how to approach a design problem by following the design process. You work must demonstrate an
understanding and application of the design process, key concepts regarding aerodynamics, F1 in Schools technical
rules and regulations, as well as sketching and CAD skills. All work is to be collated and presented in the form of a
PowerPoint presentation. A template is provided for the Design Folio Exemplar. It is to be submitted online via the
Moodle website in the following format:

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
