Unit Synopsis
As a student in the final year of your Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) 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 professional engineers. 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. Note: Before enrolment can be accepted, you must confirm with the Unit Coordinator that you have identified a suitable project, obtained an academic adviser, 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).
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
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%).

Clear unit requirements were lacking.
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.
