Description
This subject is the second phase of students' Engineering Graduate Project (EGP) and involves the implementation of a project plan and write-up of the final report. Students can refer to 42908 Engineering Project Preparation as a reminder of what is expected knowledge prior to undertaking this project.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
| 1. | Implement research methodologies to collect relevant data .(C.1) |
|---|---|
| 2. | Critically analyse and evaluate findings in an engineering project. (D.1) |
| 3. | Write a research report using the conventions of the field of practice. (E.1) |
| 4. | Seek and respond to feedback from supervisor and peers. (E.1) |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes specifically to the development of the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs):
- Design Oriented: FEIT graduates apply problem solving, design thinking and decision-making methodologies in new contexts or to novel problems, to explore, test, analyse and synthesise complex ideas, theories or concepts. (C.1)
- Technically Proficient: FEIT graduates apply theoretical, conceptual, software and physical tools and advanced discipline knowledge to research, evaluate and predict future performance of systems characterised by complexity. (D.1)
- Collaborative and Communicative: FEIT graduates work as an effective member or leader of diverse teams, communicating effectively and operating autonomously within cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural contexts in the workplace. (E.1)
Teaching and learning strategies
In collaboration with an academic advisor, students will implement their research plans to the Engineering Graduate Project. Students are expected to develop their learning approaches and deliverables with guidance from their academic advisor. Regular project meetings should be scheduled throughout the duration.
Students must submit a draft of the report or sections thereof to receive feedback from the academic advisor.
