Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Formulate numerical problems in thermodynamics using consecutive calculations with the aid of MATLAB; 2 Formulate mass balance problems in chemical reaction engineering using system of linear algebraic equations with the aid of MATLAB and EXCEL; 3 Formulate numerical problems in thermodynamics using single nonlinear algebraic equations with the aid of MATLAB; 4 Formulate numerical problems in thermodynamics using multiple linear and polynomial regressions with the aid of MATLAB and EXCEL; 5 Formulate mass and energy balance problems in chemical reaction engineering using system of first-order ordinary differential equations with the aid of MATLAB; 6 Apply process models in real-life engineering problems; and 7 Select and build an appropriate model for the regression and correlation of experimental data and subsequently evaluate the accuracy of the model.
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .

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.

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.
