Syllabus
In the Engineering Research Project units, students have to demonstrate they have acquired and can apply advanced
knowledge and skills to solve complex problems in their discipline. In this unit students will: identify a problem,
propose and plan a solution that meets the requirements, do a literature review to investigate existing solutions,
make design decisions and assumptions to develop their solution, keep a logbook, and give an oral and written
progress report at the end of semester.
Introduction
Engineering schools throughout the world require undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students to
undertake a major project. At University students gain a broadly based theoretical knowledge and some skills plus an
insight into professional practice. A second phase of education occurs in employment where they gain practical
experience in a specific area under the supervision of experienced Engineers. Some problems can result due to
these two educational phases being so different. Because a student is academically capable does not imply they will
be professionally competent. How, then, to judge whether a course offers a simple transition between the two and
whether students can become competent professionals? The ideal vehicle to make this judgment is a simplified
version of professional practice; a project. It is simplified in the sense it is usually individual, the problem is not as
detailed as those in industry or research projects and time is far more limited. However, it is still an example and will
give students insights into professional practice and what they need to address so that they can succeed. Given that,
you will not be surprised to learn the principal educational objective of project work for undergraduate project units
is to allow you to demonstrate your potential as a professional.

Pass requirements
both supervisor and co-examiner will assess your progress report and decide if you pass or fail. suggestions may
also be given for your project.
Keep regular contact with the supervisor.
Keep a logbook as evidence of they way you work.
All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline.
Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission
(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked
value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two
marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of
16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be
marked and will receive a mark of 0.
Assessment extension
A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or
due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form
(available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It
is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the

student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.
The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the
assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or
due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she
was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will
not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Student Equity
There are a number of factors that might disadvantage some students from participating in their studies or
assessments to the best of their ability, under standard conditions. These factors may include a disability or medical
condition (e.g. mental illness, chronic illness, physical or sensory disability, learning disability), significant family
responsibilities, pregnancy, religious practices, living in a remote location or another reason. If you believe you may
be unfairly disadvantaged on these or other grounds please contact Student Equity at eesj@curtin.edu.au or go to
http://eesj.curtin.edu.au/student_equity/index.cfm for more information
You can also contact Counselling and Disability services: http://www.disability.curtin.edu.au or the Multi-faith services:
http://life.curtin.edu.au/health-and-wellbeing/about_multifaith_services.htm for further information.
It is important to note that the staff of the university may not be able to meet your needs if they are not informed of
your individual circumstances so please get in touch with the appropriate service if you require assistance. For
general wellbeing concerns or advice please contact Curtin's Student Wellbeing Advisory Service at:
