Overview
This is the first semester of a two-semester postgraduate engineering project unit, ENN595-1 and ENN595-2. It provides experience in researching and solving authentic, complex and advanced engineering problems, and the opportunity to apply some of the knowledge gained throughout the course. You will engage in engineering project design, methodology and management, advancement of discipline knowledge and skills, risk, ethics and sustainability in a project environment, and reporting and presenting project stages. In this first semester, you will identify the problem, research the literature, research and propose methods to address the problem identified, and progress some of the solutions.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Identify and define a relevant industry related problem.
- Retrieve, review and synthetise information at an advanced level from various sources using appropriate strategies and techniques.
- Identify and implement a suitable evidenced based (research) plan in a systematic, rigorous and ethical way.
- Communicate your research/evidence based process and outcome through discussion, research proposal, progress report. and oral presentation targeting specialist and non-specialist audience
Content
The content of this unit will include:
- Approaches to defining problems and determining suitable research methods.
- Critical thinking and reflective practice.
- Research design.
- Evidence-based rigor and ethics including intellectual property.
- Information retrieval and literature reviewing.
- Qualitative and quantitative research methodologies relevant to the disciplines including associated methods of data gathering and analysis.
- Research dissemination and reporting.
Learning Approaches
Your learning in this unit will take place through an independent, authentic, and industry-informed project supervised by an appointed supervisor. Students undertaking an industry project in their workplace may be supervised jointly by an academic as well as industry/organisation supervisor. If you are not employed in a related industry, you are encouraged to approach a relevant organisation in order to authenticate the nature of the problems confronting industry as well as explore the potential to work temporarily with the organisation during the course of your project. Your supervised learning will be supported by lectures and tutorials during the first few weeks of the semester, followed by individual interaction with your supervisor(s).
The project is to be an empirical/evidence-based research project with the findings adding to the factual base of the topic or to an improved organisation of theory for the purposes of explanation or prediction in a real world context.
The on-line QUT Learning Management System (LMS) site will be another forum for learning, interaction and collaboration.
Authentic learning, incorporating some aspects of work-integrated learning, informs the pedagogical approach in this unit. Associated learning approaches include problem/project based learning, experiential learning and reflective learning through guided self and supervisor review and feedback (supported through online and supervisor resources at key stages).
ENN595-1 and ENN595-2 are components of the same project, but cannot be enrolled in the same semester. ENN595-1 should be enrolled in the preceding semester to ENN595-2.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback will be provided by the individual supervisors during regular meetings throughout the semester.
You may also receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
1. Rubrics are provided to show the expected standard for each criterion in an assessment item.
2. Comments returned to you via QUT Learning Management System (LMS).
3. Lecture / consultation sessions may be available for group and individual feedback prior to assessment due dates and on completion of assessments.
4. Generic comments provided via QUT Canvas and in class.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment will include constructive and progressive feedback using a criterion referencing approach. Your performance in the unit will be assessed summatively through a proposal and progress report at the middle and end of semester. You will have the opportunity to present drafts of your proposal and report to your supervisor for comment and rewriting prior to the date for final submission. The assignments will contribute to the overall summative grade for the unit.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale and S (Satisfactory) / U (Unsatisfactory)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Research Proposal
You will submit a project proposal outlining the problem, research method, critical literature and proposed approach, and progress so far.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Project Progress Report and Oral Presentation
You will submit a progress report describing progress against planned activity.
This part of the assessment is an assignment eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
You will deliver a presentation that summarises this report to your supervisor and marker and fellow students
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Resources
Most of the readings will be determined by your individual project requirements. A list of other general readings will be provided on-line at the commencement of the semester.
Other Resources
You are also required to use the following:
- The unit website on QUT's Canvas.
