Overview

This is a project-based unit in which students work in teams to innovate a solution to an industry driven challenge. The project will have a substantial emphasis on engineering technology innovation. Teams of students will have a staff member as a ‘facilitator’ whilst working on this project. Student teams will be allowed to select a project from a range of industry oriented innovation projects aligned to their chosen major. This unit forms part of the student major selection if their course undertaken has a choice of major.

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. Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirement (i) and (ii) in full, will receive a maximum of 45% as the total mark for the unit.
