Rationale

The rationale for this course is to motivate students by fostering creativity and introducing conceptual design, sustainable design in engineering, industrial design, computer aided design and drafting early in the course. Early training and practice in the engineering design method, the introduction to engineering handbooks and commercial catalogues is necessary for a foundation to which students can relate future studies in the more advanced courses of the program. Engineers need skills in graphical communication and spatial vision in the practice of their profession.

Synopsis

This fundamental engineering course introduces the principles and methods of engineering design. Students will be given the opportunity to experience engineering design methods in a multi-disciplinary environment. This course involves students in a number of hands-on design and engineering projects through individual and team activities. Design/project work will be complemented with the development of the student's drafting skills and CAD expertise. In this course, students acquire skills in areas of engineering design, drafting/CAD, report writing, decision-making and problem solving.

Assessment details

Important assessment information

1. Attendance requirements:
   
   It is the student's responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration.
   
   
2. Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
   
   To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course.
   Supplementary assessment may be offered where a student has undertaken all of the required summative assessment items but has failed to achieve a passing Final Grade by 5% or less of the total weighted Marks.
   To be awarded a passing grade for a supplementary assessment item (if applicable), a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the supplementary assessment item as per the Assessment Procedure (point
   
   
3. Penalties for late submission of required work:
   
   Students should refer to the Assessment Procedure (point 4.2.4)
   
   
4. Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
   
   To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course.
   Supplementary assessment may be offered where a student has undertaken all of the required summative assessment items but has failed to achieve a passing Final Grade by 5% or less of the total weighted Marks.
   To be awarded a passing grade for a supplementary assessment item (if applicable), a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the supplementary assessment item as per the Assessment Procedure (point 4.4.2).
   
   
   
5. Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
   
   The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the weighted aggregate of the marks (or grades) obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course.
   
   
6. Examination information:
   
   There is no examination in this course.
   
   
7. Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:
   
   Not applicable.
   
   
8. 精东传媒app Student Policies:

Assessment notes

1. Students must familiarise themselves with the USQ Assessment Procedures (.
   
   
2. This is a communication benchmark course and a major component of the assessment of this course will be associated with the demonstration of communication skills.
   
   
3. Referencing in Assignments must comply with the Harvard (AGPS) referencing system. This system should be used by students to format details of the information sources they have cited in their work. The Harvard (APGS) style to be used is defined by the USQ library鈥檚 referencing guide. These policies can be found at .
