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 Portfolio
The Portfolio gives you the opportunity to demonstrate what you have learnt in this internship program.
In your Portfolio, you must respond to the learning outcomes, giving examples of how you have met each of them. During your internship placement, you will be required to participate in an individual presentation. The presentation gives you an opportunity to discuss your work and how it aligns with the Engineers Australia Stage-1 competencies.
The portfolio comprises of four individual assessments in the form of written assignments and a professional engineering presentation, which is directly related to the learning outcomes. The three written assignments; (i) host organisation overview, organisation structure and your role; (ii) application of engineering knowledge in the workplace; and (iii) professional engineering project; will form the body of the portfolio. To assist in the submission as well as continuous progress monitoring, the assignments are given separate submission deadlines. The final portfolio should include all the component items and follow the sequence mentioned below:
· Portfolio cover page
· Executive summary
· Submission checklist
· Table of contents
· List of figures
· Weekly log hours and work progress report
· Grade nomination
· Summary of table of competencies
· Assignment 1: Host organisation overview, organisation structure and your role
· Assignment 2: Application of engineering knowledge in workplace
· Assignment 3: Professional engineering project report (min. 1)
· Up-to-date curriculum vitae in Appendix A
· Certificates of work performed in Appendix B
· Assignment 4: Professional presentation outcomes in Appendix C
· Declaration that the content of this portfolio is my own work and I am aware of the University and Faculty policy on Plagiarism
All components of the portfolio must be written (typed) in English using Times New Roman font (size 12), in your own words and will act as evidence of your communication skills. Each assessment item within the portfolio must clearly demonstrate your ability to apply engineering knowledge and skills. State what you did and describe how you did it, emphasise on your role and your contribution to the project (for example I designed, I checked, I investigated etc.). Each component should discuss the engineering problems you identified and/or particular problem-solving techniques you applied. The purpose of this is to assess your personal contribution to meeting project goals
Week 12 Friday (8 Feb 2019) 11:55 pm AEST
Submit the assessment item on or before the due date and time. Late submission penalty is 5% per day of the allotted marks.
Within 2 weeks
You must provide evidence of your achievement of each of the Learning Outcomes, required log hours and internship certificate from the host organisation.
There is an Assessment Criteria sheet for this unit available on the Unit Moodle site. The Assessment Criteria sheet gives guidance regarding the type of evidence required for each level of achievement. It is important that you review the Criteria sheet before commencing your internship placement at the host organisation, so you are familiar with the evidence you need to collect throughout the placement.
There are minimum requirements for the Portfolio and you must provide evidence of the minimum requirements in order to be eligible for a passing grade for this unit.

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.
