Lectures supported by problem-solving tutorials and a practical laboratory developing material covered in lectures

A three unit course has a minimum workload of 156 hours regardless of the length of the course. It is expected that students spend 48hrs/week during teaching periods, additional time may need to be spent acquiring assumed knowledge, working on assessment during non-teaching periods, and preparing for and attending examinations.

Formal Contact: Lectures and tutorials: 45 hours,

Practical: 1.5 hours, Exam: 3 hours

Suggested personal workload (will vary between students): Reading and revising course material: 30-50 hours, Completion of assignments and practical report: 30-50 hours, Exam preparation: 30-50 hours.

Students will be required to adhere to laboratory conduct safety guidelines for the practical component of this course.

• Final Exam: 50%
• 5 Individual Assignments: 25%
• Group Assignment/Project: 15%
• Laboratory (Microgravity): 10%

In order to pass this course, students must achieve a pass grade for the microgravity performance laboratory.

• Final exam is a 3-hour long open book exam, to be conducted during the formal university examination period.

• There will be 5 assignments in total. These are individual assignments (no collaboration). These will be distributed during class and also placed on MyUni. Due dates for these assignments may be subject to change; any changes will be announced in-class, written on the assignment, and posted on MyUni at the time the assignment is first distributed.

• The microgravity laboratory is run as part of the formal Level III laboratories.

Unless otherwise specified, submission of assignments and laboratory reports will be made through the hand-in boxes located on Level 2 of Engineering South. Cover-sheets should be attached to all submissions (cover-sheets located next to the submission boxes).

Late submissions will be penalised at 20% per day late. All submissions are due at 1pm. Extensions for assignments will only be given in exceptional circumstances and a case for this with supporting documentation must be made either in writing after a lecture, submitted in hard copy to the front office (to be passed on to the lecturer), or emailed to the lecturer directly.

Assignments will be assessed and returned within 4 weeks from submission (usually significantly less). Assignments that are marked prior to the last class will be brought to class for students to collect. Any assignments not collected in-class will be left in the assignment collection boxes next to the elevator on level 2 of Engineering South. There will be no opportunities for re-submission of work of unacceptable standard. Due to the large class size, feedback on assignments will be limited to in-class discussion resulting from questions from students.
