Overview

 

Problem identification, research planning, literature evaluation, data collection, collaboration, and professional communication are fundamental capabilities of engineers across all disciplines. Engineers are increasingly required to undertake practice-based research to address complex, real-world challenges through the application of appropriate research methodologies, while demonstrating ethical responsibility, cultural awareness, and consideration of Indigenous perspectives. The ability to critically evaluate scholarly literature, develop evidence-based research proposals, collaborate effectively with peers, and communicate research methods and outcomes clearly through written and oral formats is essential for contemporary engineering practice. The ethical and responsible use of emerging technologies, including generative AI tools, further supports effective engineering research and professional decision-making.

 

 

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate independence in planning, scoping and conducting engineering research, including selection and justification of appropriate research methodologies, with consideration to Indigenous perspectives and ethical research practices.
  2. Identify, analyse and critically evaluate scholarly literature relevant to an engineering research questions to inform the development of a structured research proposal.
  3. Demonstrate advanced professional communication skills through discipline‑specific analytical documentation and presentations, incorporating ethical and responsible use of generative AI tools.
  4. Apply effective teamwork, peer discussions, and peer review practices in engineering research context demonstrating professionalism, cultural awareness and ethical responsibility.

Content

 

You will undertake an engineering research project that develops the knowledge and skills required to investigate and solve discipline-specific engineering problems. The unit covers the key stages of the research process, including problem identification and scoping, critical evaluation of scholarly literature, development of a structured research proposal, selection and justification of appropriate research methodologies, experimental design, and data collection and analysis using qualitative and quantitative methods. You will also develop skills in professional communication through the preparation of analytical reports, research documentation, and oral presentations. The unit emphasises ethical research practice, cultural awareness, consideration of Indigenous perspectives, responsible use of generative AI tools, peer collaboration and review, and the management of intellectual property. Through these activities, you will gain practical experience in conducting and communicating engineering research in a professional and responsible manner.

 

 

Learning Approaches

Teaching and learning approaches in this unit are centred on a systematic, evidence-based engineering research process, supported by interactive lectures, discussions, and engagement with professional and industry speakers. Through a combination of guided and self-directed learning activities, you will develop the skills required to plan, scope, and conduct engineering research, critically evaluate scholarly literature, and design appropriate research methodologies to address discipline-specific engineering challenges.

The unit incorporates lectures on information literacy, literature searching, referencing, and the use of QUT library resources and research databases. Lectures will also provide opportunities to explore qualitative and quantitative research methods, research design, data analysis techniques, and the ethical and responsible use of generative AI tools in engineering research and communication.

Collaborative learning is a key feature of the unit. You will participate in peer discussions, group activities, and peer review processes that promote the exchange of ideas, critical reflection, and constructive feedback. These activities are designed to develop teamwork, professionalism, cultural awareness, and ethical responsibility within engineering research contexts. Guided interactions with peers will support your ability to work effectively in diverse teams and contribute to a positive and inclusive learning environment.

The unit also emphasises culturally responsive and ethical engineering research practice, including consideration of Indigenous perspectives and the broader social, cultural, and ethical implications of engineering research. Through research activities and discussions, you will develop an understanding of the responsibilities of engineers in conducting research that is respectful, inclusive, and socially responsible.

Throughout the semester, you will progressively develop and communicate your research through a structured research proposal, an evidence-based research report and professional presentations. These activities will strengthen your ability to communicate engineering research effectively to a range of audiences and prepare you for professional engineering practice and future research endeavours.

 

 

Feedback on Learning and Assessment

You will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:

1. Rubrics provided to show the expected standard for each criteria in an assessment item.
2. Comments returned to you via Canvas.
3. Lecture / consultation sessions may be available for group and individual feedback prior to assessment due dates and on completion of assessments. You are encouraged to view your team as a learning community and to share and discuss ideas in the research process and your understandings of culturally responsible professional engineering practice.
4. Generic comments provided via QUT Canvas and in class.

Assessment

Overview

All three assessments are formulated around a group project. Each group will choose a professional project of interest and write a project proposal with a number of relevant references. Individually, you will also critically evaluate selected publications and submit a annotated bibliography. At the end of the semester each group will submit and present a project report. Each group member will peer review and rate their own as well as other members' contributions and this may impact individual grade for group work. You will also demonstrate your developing critical communication skills and capacity for professional dialogue through your participation in peer group discussion exercises throughout the semester.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.

The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.

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.

Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
