Learning outcomes
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
- Design, build and train datasets using machine learning algorithms to solve multidisciplinary engineering problems (A4, A5, A6, K1, K2, S1).
- Demonstrate knowledge of a range of AI, machine learning and deep learning algorithms and their applications (A1, A2, A4, K3, K4, S2).
- Assess, appraise and justify appropriate AI techniques to solve computational engineering problems (A3, K4, K5, K6, S2, S3).
- Communicate effectively and succinctly through oral presentations and reports (A2, A6, A7, K6, S3, S4).

Assessment
| Type | Task | Weighting | ULO's |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design Project | Individual/Group | 40 - 60% | 1,2,3,4 |
| Portfolio | Individual | 40 - 60% | 1,2,3 |
Hurdle
As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all ULOs to a minimum standard, an undergraduate student must have achieved:
(i) achieve an overall mark for the unit of 50% or more, and(ii) complete the project to an acceptable standard. A rubric will be used to determine if students have met the acceptable standard. The rubric is available on Canvas; and(iii) Achieve a minimum of 50% or more on the Portfolio (must pass at least 50% of the portfolio activities). Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirements (ii) and (iii) in full, will receive a maximum of 45% as the total mark for the unit.
