Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1 Work proficiently and effectively in small teams; 2 Demonstrate a basic understanding of practical aspects of fluid mechanics, reinforcing the theory presented in other courses; 3 Understand the need for lifelong learning for continuous professional development; 4 Critically evaluate and interpret information relevant to their own research; 5 Write and speak in a style appropriate to academic and professional contexts; 6 Write an appropriate report of their laboratory experiment; 7 Present technical material in an interesting manner for a non-technical audience; 8 Prepare a CV and cover letter to apply for a position in a chemical engineering company; 9 Demonstrate awareness of the importance of career planning, the professional associations which cater for chemical engineers and the process of becoming a chartered engineer; and 10 Explain in basic terms the ethical responsibilities of professional engineers and apply this knowledge in simple scenarios.
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1 1.2 1.5 1.6 2.2 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6

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.
