Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:1 Identify current classes of submarines (Australian, French, German, Spanish, Japanese) and their design philosophies. 2 Explain the design to build approach in the context of submarines and their systems. 3 Describe the different systems (platform or combat) in a submarine. 4 Demonstrate how to build a submarine from a new class or an evolution of an existing one. 5 Apply the design process to carry out the final part of a feasibility phase on a concept submarine project. 6 Check the design feasibility of submarines and their seaworthiness. 7 Create a submarine concept design from top-level requirements.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
ASSIGNMENTS:
- formative assignments ( not counting towards final grade): there will be several formative quizzes for students to check their learning
- summative assessments:
- a Quiz,
- The reverse engineering of an existing submarine from an analytical perspective,
- An engineering analysis on the Life of Type Extension on Collins class submarines
- A project to design a submarine: this course addresses the final systems engineering part leading to the student’s proposed solution to a set of requirements (actually addressed in MECH ENG 7042).
- a presentation of the Submarine Concept Design in a seminar,
- an open book exam.Assessment Detail

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
