Overview
As a student in the final year of your Bachelor of Engineering Technology course, you will work independently to plan a project that allows you to demonstrate technical and professional capabilities (Engineers Australia's Stage One Competencies) expected of graduating engineering technologists. You will conduct research, demonstrate critical thinking, and document sound analysis, decision-making, and judgment to support your project. You will work and learn autonomously, prepare and adhere to work and reporting schedules, communicate progress and prepare formal and informal project documents. You will define and scope your project, apply technical knowledge, assess safety and risks, and prepare a proposal and plan for implementing the project in the following implementation unit. It is highly recommended that before enrolling in this unit, you identify a suitable academic adviser and a project and have successfully completed all nominal prior units in the course.

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).

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 SUTE and Self-Reflection
Students expect unit requirements to be communicated clearly.
The Unit Coordinator should conduct structured weekly sessions to ensure clear communication of unit requirements. They should also publish a simple one-page project expectation guide that includes expectations on meetings, academic standards, use of feedback, time allocation, independent work, etc.
Feedback from SUTE
Students found the feedback limited or not useful.
Students should be encouraged to seek feedback during their weekly meetings.
