ENEC20004 - Advanced Transportation Engineering Design

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Advanced Transportation Engineering Design will prepare you to analyse and solve complex transportation problems. You will develop strategies for analysing, managing and controlling traffic; identifying safety issues; and recommending solutions. In this unit, you will apply relevant industrial design standards and guides to solve complex traffic and pavement analysis and design problems involving highway capacity analysis, intersection design and pavement design by considering stakeholders and sustainability requirements. You will also use appropriate industry-relevant software for analysis and design. You are required to work, learn, and communicate effectively in a professional manner, independently and in project teams.

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).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 12-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

This information will not be available until 8 weeks before term.
To see assessment details from an earlier availability, please search via a previous term.

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%).
