Learning & Teaching Modes

This course uses a number of different teaching and learning approaches (in a set of integrated learning activities) including:
· Lectures (usually two or three 1 hour lectures weekly)
· Tutorials (one 1 hr tutorial, weekly)
· Design sessions - computer suites (aproximately 8 hours design/computer suite sessions during the semester)
· Lecture Participation
· Examinations

This course is aimed to  provide you with the opportunity to achieve the course learning objectives in a supportive and motivating context.

The centrepiece of the course are the two Design Projects on water distribution systems. You will learn the fundamental principles/ underlying theory required to complete these designs.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.  Please note that University guidelines suggest that the average student should spend 48 hours per week to achieve a Credit.  Consequently, the total workload for this course is 12 hours per week (144 hours in total over 12 weeks) for an average student to achieve a Credit.

Expected Course Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements. 

Please note that University guidelines suggest that the average student should spend 48 hours per week to achieve a Credit.

Consequently, the total workload for this course is 12 hours per week (144 hours in total over 12 weeks) for an average student to achieve a Credit.

Group Work

For assessment tasks requiring group work, groups will be partly self selected (for assignments only). You will pair up with one other person with whom you will work in group work forthe entire semester. Pairs will rotate to form a new group of four for each new groupwork task. The same mark will be allocated to all group members and will be based on group output only.  Group processes are not assessed explicitly in this course.  All members in a group are expected to contribute equally to the overall task. In cases of perceived unequal contributions to groupwork, students should come and discuss the matter with the teaching staff. 

Requirements

In order to pass this course, students must obtain at least:   

. 40% for the exam

If the above requirements are not met, students will receive a 39 F (fail) for this course OR the weighted mark forthe course (whichever is lower mark).

A. Designs Objectives:

The objective of the Designs is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the course material in a realistic context in order to achieve higher-order learning outcomes.   

There will 3 components to the design including:

. Design 1. numerical methods for solving pipe network equations

. Design 2 (a) manual trial-and error design of a water distribution system using computer simulation and (b) genetic algorithm
optimisation of a water distribution system using a computer software program called “Optimizer ” developed by an Adelaide company called Optimatics Pty Ltd.            

B. Assignments

Objectives: The objective of the Assignments is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the course material to problems. 
 
There will be a number of assignments - while working in groups of four (sometimes 3 if necessary).

C. Exam Objectives:

The objective of an Exam is to provide an independent test of whether students have gained an understanding of the key learning objectives.  Details of which course learning objectives are addressed by the Exam are given above.  

A 3 hour examination will be held at the end of Semester I. It will be a restricted open book exam.    

Notes provided by Prof Simpson for the course may be brought into the examination. This is explicitly restricted to the textbook by Crowe and Prof Simpson's book and Powerpoints of material not in Prof. Simpson's book.
     
NO OTHER BOOKS OR MATERIAL may be brought into the examination.

Information relating to Fluid Properties will be permitted.

·      The design, tutorial solutions and worked problems including solutions to old examination problems, may NOT BE brought into the examination.

A check of the material brought in by each student will be made at the beginning of the examination.

·       Use of dictionaries is permitted.

.       The use of calculators is permitted. Ensuring the calculator batteries are sufficient for the duration of the examination is the
responsibility of the student. 

Supplementary exams awarded on academic grounds will only be given in extraordinary  circumstances. If a student sits for a supplementary exam on academic grounds, the final mark will be based on the examination only.

Submission deadlines will be given on each assignment and on the lecture and tutorial schedule.

Details about the submission process for the Homework Exercises will be given at the beginning of the semester and details of the submission process for the Designs will be given in separate handouts.
