Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

The assumed knowledge for this course requires that students have completed OENG1040 Integrated Workplace Project 1


Course Description

This project-based course develops your ability to seek out relevant information regarding an issue or problem, use your analytical skills to arrive at solutions and to provide you with a context of operation in preparation for your future working environment. The objective is to motivate you to develop and demonstrate your ability for resourcefulness and independent work in the complex area of Environmental Engineering.

WAM statement:
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.)

Overview of Assessment

The course assessment reflects the aim to encourage research and problem solving in a topic of sustainability and the bulk of the assessment is directed towards the production of the final project or design solution report. Note that:

☒This course has no hurdle requirements.
☐ All hurdle requirements for this course are indicated clearly in the assessment regime that follows, against the relevant assessment task(s) and all have been approved by the College Deputy Pro Vice-Chancellor (Learning & Teaching).

Assessment includes a range of tasks contributing to the final project report, presentations and a project scope as outlined below:
Scoping brief and mid-semester progress report 15% - mid semester. CLO’s 1,2
Final presentation and report submission 85% - week 13. Venue and dates announced in communications CLO’s 1-7
