General Information

Overview

This unit engages students with an integrated approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). The unit will equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience to deliver interdisciplinary STEM-based projects with an emphasis on computer-aided design (CAD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computer numerical controlled machining. Students will use the engineering design process to research, design and develop a small C02 gas-powered car. This involves learning how to model design ideas using CAD software, virtually testing designs using CFD software, and documenting the project from start to finish to produce a design folio.

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.

3 Written Assessment

Assessment Title
Assessment 3 - Design Folio Exemplar

Task Description

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 makinga 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. Your 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:

4 Practical Assessment

Assessment Title
Assessment 4 - Compulsory Residential School - CO2 F1 Race Car

Task Description

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:

Academic Integrity Statement

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.
