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 SUTE
Students valued the drop-in sessions, prompt access to recordings, and the lecturer’s approachable and responsive support.
Regular drop-in sessions, timely uploading of recordings, and opportunities for students to ask questions should be continued.
Feedback from SUTE
Students appreciated the practical, council-specific examples linking the unit to real-world engineering.
Council and industry-based applications should continue to be incorporated throughout the unit.
Feedback from SUTE
Some students found the project scopes unclear.
The unit coordinator should clearly define project scope and assessment requirements from the outset and hold team meetings or drop-in sessions to provide regular feedback.
Feedback from SUTE
Students expect more detailed feedback on group assignments.
Project scopes should be clearly explained from the beginning, with consistent guidance and resources provided, and clear and helpful feedback given throughout the unit.
