Overview
This two-semester capstone project unit provides skills and experience in solving advanced engineering management problems and the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained throughout EN55 course. Through this project work, you will gain experience in project identification, research planning, communications and problem solving. The unit also gives you the opportunity to demonstrate that you have completed the required work placement for accreditation with Engineers Australia.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Implement appropriate engineering management approaches/tools to resolve the current engineering problem.
- Use specific management methodologies to collect, analyse and interpret data.
- Communicate and continually improve your management approach in response to data analysis and stakeholder feedback through progressive submission, feedback and response with your project supervisor.
- Work independently and collaboratively to collect and analyse data and feedback and find innovative management solutions to the current engineering problem.
- Outline how the professional engineering competencies (Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies) have been demonstrated on engineering work placement.
Content
The content of this unit will include:
- Implementing authentic or novel management approaches or tool(s) for resolving the engineering
problem. - Independent collection, analysis and interpretation of data and feedback.
- Critical thinking and reflective practice.
- Report writing skills development and assessment via a final report and presentation.
- Fortnightly meetings with supervisors.
Learning Approaches
Your learning in this unit will take place through an independent engineering management project with an individual engineering supervisor/manager. The engineering management approach to resolving an engineering problem was identified in ENN593-1 and now requires implementation. This includes data collection, analysis and inference and subsequent refining of the engineering management approach. Your supervised learning will be supported by individual interaction with your supervisor and the teaching team.
The project is to be an engineering management-based project with the findings contributing to the solution of an engineering problem.
The on-line Canvas teaching 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.
Note: ENN593-1 and ENN593-2 are components of the same project, but cannot be enrolled in the same semester. ENN593-1 should be enrolled in the preceding semester to ENN593-2. You must have completed your work placement (60 days including 30 days engineering placement) by
Week 14.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Oral and written feedback will be provided by your individual supervisor/s during regular meetings throughout the semester. Feedback from relevant stakeholders as identified or negotiated as part of your project will also provide valuable feedback.
You may also 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.
4. Generic comments provided via QUT Canvas and in class.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment involves constructive and progressive feedback following key engineering management processes, criteria and standards. Your performance in the unit will be assessed through a progress report and a final presentation and report. You will receive formative feedback on drafts of your final report to your supervisor for comment and rewriting prior to the date for final submission.
Unit Grading Scheme

Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Progress report
Progress report to demonstrate progress with the project.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Presentation (Oral)
You will present your project outcomes highlighting, the problem, analysis, methodology and the solution.
Assessment: Final report
Final Report: You will submit a comprehensive report outlining the problem, research method, critical literature and recommendations.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Report
Work Placement Report: You are required to submit a 2-page report to demonstrate Engineers Australia (EA) stage 1 competencies demonstrated during your engineering work placement. The following must be attached to the report as appendices:
' Work Log for 60 days work experience including at least 30 days engineering placement,
' Certificate of Time Worked (signed by your work supervisor/s for each placement) and
' your InPlace Approval Email (you must register your placement(s) via InPlace to receive your InPlace Approval Email)
It is compulsory to achieve 'Satisfactory' for this report to graduate.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Threshold Assessment:
Your Workplace Experience Report will conform to a template and be 2 pages long. It will take the form of a Career Episode statement, linking to the competencies of the Engineers Australia (EA) Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineer.
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
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.
- QUT Library Databases.
- QUT Cite| Write: You can access QUT cite/write online (Free download from QUT library).
Risk Assessment Statement
All commencing SEF students are required to complete the Mandatory Safety Induction.
There are no extraordinary risks associated with the classroom/lecture activities in this unit.
If you undertake a project, either individually or in a group, you may in conjunction with your QUT project
supervisor, be required to complete and submit a Risk Assessment of your project activities in href=https://maps.qut.edu.au/>MAPS (Management and Assessment of Project Safety) for
approval.
Additionally, if you undertake an industry project, either individually or in a group, you must ensure that
the QUT project partner agreement is completed, respect confidentiality, be aware of any intellectual
property requirements for the project and comply with workplace health and safety requirements,
(either at QUT or at worksite).
