Overview
Specialist professional engineers use a depth of knowledge and skills bases to develop solutions to complex systems design problems that meet stakeholders' needs. In this specialist postgraduate unit you will pursue a complex bioprocess system problem and in developing a design solution you will hone your specialist skills in critical appraisal, analysis, synthesis and creativity. You will demonstrate your ability to communicate specialist discipline knowledge and concepts in written, modelled and graphical forms to technical and non-technical audiences. You will demonstrate your specialist abilities to work pro-actively and productively in a design team, reflective practice, and time and resource management. Emphasis is placed on your demonstrated professional responses to risk, ethics and stakeholder perspectives. This unit requires you to draw upon your bioprocess engineering learning throughout your postgraduate study.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Interpret client requirements of a complex bioprocess system design problem at a specialist level
- Appraise a complex bioprocess system design problem considering technical and societal aspects at a specialist level and search for design solutions
- Select a preferred solution to a complex bioprocess system design problem, prepare a detailed design for that solution, and assess its impacts
- Contribute to engineering assessments, with evidence of organising and undertaking agreed tasks, with peer-to-peer evaluation, at a specialist level
- Compose structured technical documentation of design responses to a complex bioprocess system problem
Content
- Engineering modelling and design principles for complex bioprocess systems
- Interpretation of, and response to, client and stakeholder information and requirements
- Appraisal of a complex bioprocess system design problems
- Solutions search for complex bioprocess systems design problems
- Solution design detailing for complex bioprocess system design problems
- Impact assessment of solutions to bioprocess complex system design problems
- Peer evaluation in specialist professional engineering practice
Learning Approaches
In this unit you can expect to experience the following timetabled activities:
- Formal interactive lectures (2 hours per week) from experienced professional engineers cover the main concepts and methods with real world applications and examples
- Workshops (2 hours per week) in a computer lab where process models will be developed to apply the topics covered in the lecture.
- Design review practical (2 x 1 hour) where teams will present progress of the process model being developed and get formative and summative feedback.
To complement the timetabled activities and complete your learning in this unit, you will be provided online resources and activities the unit's Canvas website:
- Informative recap videos as extra problem-solving resources to enhance your problem-solving approach, skills and knowledge.
- Basic materials such as notes, handouts, and Echo360 recordings.
You are expected to:
- Engage with timetabled activities on campus and ask questions. You should follow the weekly guide and announcements from Canvas on the online materials that should be completed prior to attending timetabled activities on campus.
- Engage with the online materials for developing your understanding of fundamental concepts. These will be available on the unit Canvas site. You will receive regular email announcements regarding release of these resources.
- Manage your time to engage with online resources outside of timetabled activities.
- Engage with your peers during the interactive workshops and the teamwork assessment tasks.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive informal verbal feedback on your progress in this unit during workshops and discussions throughout the semester. Written feedback will be provided with each summative assessment throughout the semester.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment in this unit has been designed to give you the opportunity to show your learning against the unit learning outcomes.
Criterion based assessment (rubrics) will be used to evaluate the unit learning outcomes of your work.
The assessment consists of ongoing formative and summative assessments that are based on independent and group work. The assessment items allow you to demonstrate your technical knowledge in the topic, observation of real world and communication skills as well as laboratory practical skills.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Advanced Bioprocess Modelling and Design
You will work as a team to conceptualise a bioprocess and develop a process model. The design project will be divided into 2 milestones. Each milestone will carry 25%.
Assessment: Design Review Presentation
You will compile the information developed towards completing the design project milestones and present these in the design review practicals to an expert panel who will mark you and provide you with formative feedback. Presentations will be per group but will be marked individually.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Workshop
You will complete five workshops to design a bioprocess using software. In each workshop you are required to fill up and submit a worksheet that reflects your work.
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.
