Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Interactive lectures will be supported by problem solving tutorials and a Small Group Discovery Project. Preparation required for the interactive lectures and tutorials will be advised through MyUni. Students will be required to complete the given preparation tasks.
The tutorials are designed to give students exposure to different tutorial formats and therefore will vary from one week to the next. Worked solutions to the tutorial questions will not be provided on MyUni, as detailed feedback will be provided to the class within the tutorial session. Students seeking further clarification are encouraged to use the course consulting hours.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Creativity in Engineering Planning and Design
Principles of Economics
Working in Groups and Teams
Engineering Report Writing
Introduction to Decision-Making
Project Scheduling
Introduction to Sustainability
Environmental and Social Impacts of Engineering Projects
Professional Ethics

The above topics are consistent with the course learning outcomes and are aligned with the Small Group Discovery Project.Small Group Discovery Experience
This course includes a Small Group Discovery Project. The project will be undertaken in groups which are mentored by an experienced academic, with assistance from additional teaching staff.
The Project will be aligned with the Engineers Without Borders Australia Design First Year Design Challenge (). The challenge is coordinated at a national level and has been specifically constructed for first year engineering students. It requires students to research and design feasible and sustainable design solutions for a designated developing community. -
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
The assessment breakdown in this course has an approved exemption to the as the percentage of groupwork within the course exceeds the policy limit by 5%. To account for this, peer assessment is required to enable individual marks to be modified.Assessment Task Nature Due Weighting Learning Outcome On-line quizzes Individual up to 10 quizzes 5% 1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10 In-class tutorial quizzes Individual Weekly 10% 1-10 Small group project Progress report Group Week 5 2% 1,6,7 Draft report Group Week 8 5% 1,2,3,6,7,9 Final report and poster Group Week 12 28% 1,2,3,6,7,9 Exam Individual Exam period 50% 1-10 TOTAL 100% Assessment Related Requirements
Groupwork:
This course includes the Small Group Discovery Project, which is undertaken in groups (5-7 students). These groups will be allocated with students given the opportunity to nominate one of their group members. This course includes peer assessment for the Small Group Discovery Project. Further detail of the peer assessment is contained on MyUni. To maintain the integrity of the assessment there is a requirement that all students equally contribute to the Small Group Discovery Project. Students will be required to indicate their individual contribution to the project and where there is evidence that group members have not sufficiently contributed to a group assessment task, the may be applied.
Exemptions:
Requests for exemption from coursework components will only be considered when presented on an . All exemption requests must be made by the end of Week 3 of Semester. Exemptions will not be considered for exams or in-class quizzes and cannot account for more than 30% of the overall course result.
Hurdles:
In order to pass this course, students must obtain at least 40% for the exam. Where this exam hurdle is not met, students will receive a course result of the lessor of their calculated grade and the nominal grade of 45, Fail. An additional assessment exam will be available to eligible students. Students should refer to the for eligibility criteria. Students who do not pass the hurdle requirement cannot pass the course.Assessment Detail
Details of all assessment tasks will be available on MyUni.
The Exam will be a closed book mulitple choice exam.
Online Quizzes will be multiple-choice and will be marked online automatically.
In class tutorials will run each week and while being valuable for learning will also contribute to the final assessment.Submission
Submission details for all tasks will be avaible through MyUni. With the exception of the in-class tutorials all submissions will be electronic through MyUni. The submission time for all online submissions in this course is 4 pm on the due date.Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

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鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
