Please note that this unit of study requires at least 9-10 hours of self-study or group work per week on average, outside your timetabled workshop hours. Please consider this workload when planning your time and effort for the semester.

• Team charter: Using a suitable template, students will lay out the ground rules for the successful operation of your team, including contact details, communication plan, expectations and so on. All team members are to sign off. A student who appends their signature to a charter in which all sections have been completed to a satisfactory standard will receive full marks. This is to be submitted via email to lecturer. 
• Project & Progress Presentation: Students are to deliever a formal oral presentation. During this presentation, teams are to showcase their project proposal to an academic or/and industry partner with the use of a presentation medium. It is compulsory for every team member to contribute and participate in the presentation.
• Project proposal: The project proposal is very similar to a business case in that the background of the problem or new opportunities, objectives, listing; and evaluation of alternative solutions to the problem or new opportunity is presented. Also, the high-level plan, scope of work, assumptions, resource commitments, cost and time estimates need to be provided. The project charter should also be included and signed off by all team members of the project. In the event of a research project, a research Plan and Progress Report is required from the group. This should include problem/task specification, literature survey, proposed methodology, expected outcomes, progress in first semester and proposed timeline.
• Participation: Students are expected to demonstrate active engagement, and confidential peer and self-evaluation (CPE). Active Engagement includes the consistency and quality of engagement, useful contribution and constructive feedback an individual brings to the team. This will be noted by the supervisor throughout the project life cycle. The Confidential Peer Evaluation (CPE) allows each and every team member to reflect and confidentially evaluate the contribution of every other team member including themselves. The CPE is designed as a mechanism to prevent poor contribution from others as well as to avoid resulting situations where the entire team performs poorly. CPE tools include CATME, online forms, etc. and either of them or a combination of them may be used to assess participation.
• Individual reflection: Students will be required to keep an individual reflective journal that captures the progression and dynamics of the project, as well as record personal/team learning and development. This reflection exercise should be continuously undertaken over the two semesters. Students will be given the opportunity to submit their journals in week 13 for initial feedback. The assessment of this activity will be based on the regularity of submissions, the conscientious effort made by the student and the degree of critical insight of the entries.
• Presentation: Students are to present a formal oral and poster presentation. During these presentations, teams showcase their project through the use of a display to industry professionals and academics. It is compulsory for every team member to contribute and participate in the presentation. 
• Project report: While the project work is conducted in groups, the project report must be written and submitted individually. A statement identifying the specific contributions of the student and others must be included. Students should closely consult Project Guidelines handout and Project Marking Sheet for content and formatting requirements.
