Overview
As a professional engineer you will be competent to practise as outlined in the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineer. Research and investigation are important activities that professional engineers undertake, which involve using engineering methods, principles and processes to find information, identify knowledge gaps, and apply strategies for solving novel problems to meet stakeholders' needs. This unit introduces you to this field and continues your development as a learned professional. You will learn about critical analysis and reporting of information and findings, conveying research ideas, and analysis and visual presentation of data, while further developing your professional skills in communication and engineering teamwork. Capstone units EGH400-1 Research Project 1 and EGH400-2 Research Project 2 will build on this unit. You will learn to prepare for Engineering Work Placement as a Career Episode which will be assessed in EGH400-2.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Critically analyse, evaluate, and interpret engineering literature to identify key trends, knowledge gaps, and advancements at a mastered level.
- Demonstrate how to professionally address an engineering research problem that includes an ethical considerations element at a mastered level.
- Communicate an engineering research proposal to diverse audiences, through clear, concise, and professional written and oral formats, at a mastered level.
- Analyse a dataset using industry-relevant digital practices and technologies to critically assesses the accuracy, reliability and authenticity of information, at a mastered level.
Content
1. Effective communication to different audiences, in speech and in writing
2. Gathering, managing, evaluating and interpreting information relevant to a research problem or topic
3. Incorporating perspectives of all stakeholders relevant to a research problem or topic, with emphasis on
those of First Nations peoples
4. Giving, receiving, eliciting and responding to feedback
5. Identifying, defining and articulating a research problem or topic
6. Data gathering, analysis, interpretation and presentation
7. Conducting safe, sound and ethical research
8. Intellectual property, moral rights, copyright and commercial confidentiality
9. Preparing for Engineering Work Placement as a Career Episode
Learning Approaches
In this unit you can expect to experience the following timetabled activities:
Weekly practical classes that will give you the opportunity to work collaboratively with your peers to research and solve problems. These will be facilitated by the teaching team and provide an opportunity to test your understanding and gain feedback on your work.
To complement timetabled activities, you will be provided with learning resources including videos and readings on a unit Canvas site that you can access flexibly to complete your learning in this unit.
At the beginning of the unit, you will be made aware of the ways in which you can ask questions or seek clarification from the teaching team.
You are expected to:
- Engage with timetabled activities on campus and ask questions.
- Manage your time to engage with online resources outside of timetabled activities. These will be available on the unit Canvas site. You will receive regular email announcements regarding release of these resources.
- Work in a cohesive, effective team to conduct a systematic literature review about a topic and develop a research proposal. While there will be time during timetabled activities, you will also need to undertake independent work outside that time to complete the project tasks, particularly for areas you are individually responsible for.
- Work as an effective individual to complete individual assessment tasks of the unit.
- Prepare for timetabled activities and follow up on any work not completed.
- Complete assessment tasks by working consistently across the semester and meeting the due dates that are published on the unit Canvas site.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
During practical classes, you will share your formative ideas for your assessments and you will receive feedback from your teaching team and your peers. As part of an effective team you will share the outcomes of your research task with your tutor for marking and feedback, and you will share your individual presentation with your teachng team. You are encouraged to view your team as a learning community and to share and discuss emergent ideas in the engineering research and investigation process and your understandings of engineering professional practice. Each assessment submission will be graded against criteria and standards that will be shared with you at the beginning of semester through Assessment Task Descriptions and Marking Rubrics. Marked assessment will include feedback given by the markers against the criteria.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment in this unit has been designed to give you the opportunity to show your learning against the unit learning outcomes. You will prepare a research report (Research Topic and Literature Review) and deliver your oral presentation (Research Proposal Presentation) and prepare as well as complete a Data Analysis Report. You will deploy work practices that align to engineering professional practice (such as project management, and socio-cultural perspective considerations).
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Research Topic and Literature Review
You will learn how to conduct an engineering literature review as part of building your skills as a researcher. This involves sourcing papers to address a research problem and question. As part of this assessment, you will need to thoroughly critique the literature you find to ensure validity of the content for your research problem and to guarantee your understanding of its findings.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Data Analysis Report
An integral part of research is investigating and analysing data to help understand and answer a research problem. Over several modules in EGH404 you will learn how to analyse data to provide answers to client and research questions. As part of this assessment, you will need to thoroughly analyse the provided data and address each question asked. Some of the analysis tasks will be provided in class during the practical sessions. You will complete the remaining tasks in your own time, which will include reflection on tasks completed during the practical sessions where you discuss your approach.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Research Proposal Presentation
As an individual you will develop and present a research pitch suitable for a final year project.
This Research Pitch involves a presentation of your research topic where you will be required to apply the skills you have learnt through the materials provided in EGH404 modules and discussed in practicals. You will record a video of your research pitch highlighting the identified research gap (problem and question within your field).
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
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.
