Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

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%).

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.

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a capability to apply to a substantial degree the Engineers Australia competency standards for engineering professionals to an engineering project [1 to 10]
2. Think critically, demonstrate sound analysis and make sound judgements in all stages of the project and articulate decisions and supporting thinking in project documentation [3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9]
3. Work and learn autonomously and in a professional manner [6, 10]
4. Prepare, maintain and adhere to work and reporting schedules [3, 6, 9]
5. Form a suitable problem definition and define scope for the project [1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8]
6. Research, evaluate and extract relevant information from key sources and relevant authorities related to the project [1, 2, 3, 10]
7. Produce a feasible plan and schedule for the project in order to maximise the probability of a successful outcome of the project at implementation stage [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8]
8. Apply detailed technical knowledge and knowledge of safety and risk in the project plan [1, 3]
9. Communicate effectively in formal and informal reports and in professional presentations and project documentation [2, 9]
