ELEC ENG 4104B - Communication Systems Research Project Part 2

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2020

The final-year projects aim to give students experience in solving real engineering problems and the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have gained during their undergraduate engineering program. Through the project they gain experience in project planning, teamwork and communication with management and support staff. The project also develops design and research skills. This course is restricted to students pursuing the Communication Systems major in BE(Hons)(E&E) program.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1	Independently locate sources of information that will assist with the understanding of a technical problem that has not previously been encountered.
2	Critically evaluate the validity, coverage and gaps in such sources of information.
3	Develop a statement of a research question or hypothesis, identifying an issue of which there is incomplete understanding.
4	Design and execute an investigation, experiment or theoretical study to answer the research question.
5	Present the background and findings of the research investigation in a thesis, in a seminar and at poster exhibitions.
6	Apply an advanced level of technical understanding in multiple areas of technical specialisation to devise solutions to complex technical problems.
7	Work cooperatively and flexibly as a member of a team, contributing to team leadership as the situation requires.
8	Communicate, in writing and verbally, advanced technical concepts to both technically informed and technically uninformed audiences.
9	Apply project management techniques to devise and synthesise engineering solutions to complex, open ended problems.

The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency:

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.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
