Outline

Overview

Integrated Engineering 1 provides students with an understanding of the nature and diversity of engineering practice and begins the development of a set of intellectual tools for integrating their ongoing personal, academic, and professional development. An open-ended design project is used to highlight foundational engineering and professional practice skills, and the application of these skills to real world projects and workplace practice. The project demonstrates the role that various professional and academic competencies play in the ability to manage contemporary professional engineering issues. Through developing their knowledge of the engineering discipline, students enhance their capacity for lifelong learning through critical reflection and self-assessment, creating and monitoring career goals as well as building a sense of responsibility for their learning. Through case studies, design projects and challenges, students expand their communication skills, develop competency in team-based problem solving and creating innovative solutions, as well as apply critical thinking and inquiry. These activities also develop student's research skills and enable them to experience the engineering design process, manage projects, and appreciate the significance of ethics, safety and sustainability. Dalyell students may enrol in ENGD1000 Building a Sustainable World in place of ENGG1111.

Assessment criteria

The University awards common result grades, set out in the Coursework Policy 2014 (Schedule 1).

As a general guide, a high distinction indicates work of an exceptional standard, a distinction a very high standard, a credit a good standard, and a pass an acceptable standard.

Result name	Mark range	Description
High distinction	85 - 100	Work across the semester has been exemplary. Demonstrates the highest level of understanding, critical thinking, and creativity.
Distinction	75 - 84	Work that meets the assignment requirements to a very high standard over the course of the semester.
Credit	65 - 74	Work that meets the assignment requirements to a good standard over the course of the semester.
Pass	50 - 64	Work that meets the assignment requirements to a minimum standard over the course of the semester.
Fail	0 - 49	Work that is incomplete or does not meet the learning outcomes of the unit to a satisfactory standard.

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

Late penalties: 1. Written work submitted electronically after 11.59 pm on the due date will be considered to have been submitted late. 2. For every calendar day up to and including ten calendar days after the due date, a penalty of 5% of the maximum awardable marks will be applied to late work. The penalty will be calculated by first marking the work, and then subtracting 5% of the maximum awardable mark for each calendar day after the due date. 3. For work submitted more than ten calendar days after the due date a mark of zero will be awarded. 4. In general there will be no late submissions allowed for Self and Peer Review of team contribution (SPARKPLUS assessments), class preparation tasks and in-class assessment activities.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

You may only use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator. If you do use these tools, you must acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section. The assessment instructions or unit outline will give guidance of the types of tools that are permitted and how the tools should be used.

Your final submitted work must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of generative AI tools that have been used in the assessment, and any material that forms part of your submission must be appropriately referenced. For guidance on how to acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the AI in Education Canvas site.

The unapproved use of these tools or unacknowledged use will be considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

Studiosity is permitted unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission as detailed on the Learning Hub’s Canvas page.

Outside assessment tasks, generative AI tools may be used to support your learning. The AI in Education Canvas site contains a number of productive ways that students are using AI to improve their learning.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Responding to student feedback

This section outlines changes made to this unit following staff and student reviews.

Tutorials have been edited to better facilitate the design project. Design project has been re-structured to reflect these changes and assessments have been re-weighted as a result. Weekly progress marks have been added to recognise in-class engagement and satisfactory completion of post-class debriefing tasks.

Additional information

Project assessment marks will be adjusted according to SPARKPlus results. The RPF will be applied to your group mark to determine individual marks (group mark x your RPF = your mark)

To pass this unit, students must score 45% weighted average for individual assessments and 45% weighted average for group assessments, as well as an overall mark of 50% (after the application of late penalties and SPARKPlus RPFs). Completion of the Academic Honesty Education Module is required to pass the unit. Failure to meet these requirements will result in an overall final grade of 45 FA.
