Overview
This unit introduces resource sector technology associated with on and off Shore Oil and Gas (LNG), open cut and underground mining and power generation and distribution infrastructure including processing plants/plant design and infrastructure systems. Students will also develop introductory knowledge of safety and risk management within these sectors and develop an appreciation of mineral economics. It links to the work being undertaken in units Imagine Quantity Surveying and Cost Engineering.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Apply theoretical knowledge and technical skills associated with heavy engineering technologies.
- Identify and evaluate concepts and principles of heavy engineering technology.
- Assess and evaluate current practices concerning safety and risk management and the fundamentals of mineral economics within the Heavy Engineering context.
- Develop your professional identify and make ethical judgements.
Content
Learning Approaches
This unit employs problem based and collaborative learning to provide you with extensive theoretical knowledge of low-rise, commercial and industrial buildings and the core construction knowledge and skills necessary to manage/supervise the construction of these buildings.
Your participation in the unit will include:
• Independent preparation for lectures through online learning resources and independent research
• Participation in lectures to introduce and discuss new concepts and review and provide feedback on your independent learning
• Engagement in tutorial workshops to collaborate with your peers, tutors, and lecturers to practice your problem solving and management skills

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.
