WHAT IS THE UNIT ABOUT? Unit description This is the capstone design unit for all three BE degrees streams (NA, OE, MOE). This unit consolidates the knowledge and capabilities developed through previous years of study by developing an understanding of the principles of Systems Engineering. Drawing on interdisciplinary fields of maritime engineering and complexity management, the unit considers the design and management of complex systems throughout the product lifecycle. This unit focuses on developing management and leadership skills including the ability to work effectively with team members, self-organise, plan and reflect. Intended Learning Outcomes On completion of this unit, you will be able to: 1. Develop the steps in the execution of an engineering-design project: a. For the given objective(s), constraints, and requirements identify the appropriate design parameters, assumptions, and alternatives; b. Apply discipline-specific technical concepts to select the appropriate design option(s) of an ocean vehicle, structure, or system; c. Apply the appropriate engineering methodology to evaluate the design options and develop the selected option into a final design; d. Critically assess the design and its execution, and recommend potential improvements, if any. 2. Establish, monitor and review your own system of time and resource management to ensure progress and maintain the integrity of the design output in a functional multi- disciplinary team 3. Develop written and oral technical communication and professional interpersonal skills. Page 2 JEE421-422 Design Project

How your final result is determined To pass this unit, you must demonstrate your attainment of each of the Intended Learning Outcomes. While enrolled in JEE421 you must receive a passing mark in all three assessment items on pass / fail basis (Refer to assessment schedule) to get the grade of interim completion (IC) and continue enrolment in JEE422. The final grade for the JEE421 will be updated once you successfully complete JEE422. The grade that you receive for the combined JEE421 and JEE422 will be determined by a committee of examiners. The Unit Coordinator determines the recommended mark based on all assessment material which will then be presented to the examiners’ committee. The raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material will be combined in order to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment Schedule for per cent weighting). To pass this unit, you need to demonstrate your attainment of each of the Intended Learning Outcomes. The grade that you receive for this unit will be determined by a committee of examiners. The raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material will be combined in order to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment Schedule for per cent weighting). The raw marks may undergo a scaling process. Assessments will be awarded a grade from HD to NN in accordance to a criterion based grading system where applicable (see BE Course Rules). Where applicable, this will be based on an assessment matrix (to be handed out before the assignment due date), which identifies the level of performance by indicative characteristics associated with each level against each criterion. The criterion-based grading system will provide students with the following grades for each assignment, with the final grade obtained by combining the grades of the assessments in line with allocated weighting. Grade HD- to HD+ DN- to DN+ CR- to CR+ PP- to PP+ NN (Fail) Students must attain all ILOs and achieve an overall mark of at least 50% to be awarded a passing grade. Submission of assignments All assignments, reports, etc. must be completed using the template provided on the AMC website, unless otherwise specified by the lecturer. All coursework must have the AMC Assignment Cover Sheet attached which can be downloaded from the AMC website: http://amc.edu.au/ncmeh-course-information All assignments and reports must be typed and completed using Word, Excel, approved Engineering drawing software and include the relevant theory, illustrations, results, analysis, and conclusion. Group reports must be signed by all participants. Assignments and reports must be placed in the lecturer’s assignment box by the due dates (ground floor in the Swanson Building). Electronic submissions are not acceptable (unless otherwise instructed by the lecturer). The assessed work will be returned during lecture or as agreed between the students and the lecturer. Page 11 JEE421-422 Design Project
Please remember that you are responsible for lodging your coursework on or before the due date. We strongly recommend that you keep a copy. Even in the most ‘perfect’ of systems, items sometimes go astray. Requests for extensions Extensions will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds. Requests for extensions should be made via email to the lecturer prior to the due date. Medical certificates or other evidence must be included (electronically or the hard copy mailed) and must contain information which justifies the extension sought. Any extension requests must be made by the team associated with the individual requesting the extension Penalties Failure to attend the group presentations listed in the unit outline will be deemed a fail and receive a zero mark for that particular presentation / examination. Exception to this penalty will only be made on the ground of documented medical or compassionate emergencies. The following are penalties which will be enforced related to written-document submission: • Report/drawings submitted on MyLO not in pdf format (10% of the mark obtained) • Report/drawings submitted on MyLO more than 2 hours late (50% of the mark obtained) Penalties are additive and are applied to the particular document that is submitted late. Failure to adhere with the WH&S standards whilst taking part in any assessed activity that involves field trips and/or that requires the use of UTAS or AMC facilities will result in the following penalties: • first offense: 5% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team projects); • second offense by student (or another member of the same team in team projects): 20% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team projects); and • third offense: a fail grade in the assessment. Review of results and appeals If you have questions about, or problems with, your assessment you should discuss this with the following people: (1) The person who marked the assessment. (2) Unit Coordinator. (3) Course Coordinator. (4) Director, NCMEH. If this does not resolve the issue, you may file a formal review of assessment. The procedure is given at: http://www.utas.edu.au/exams/results Page 12 JEE421-422 Design Project
Academic referencing In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly literature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to correctly refer to the work of others, and how to maintain academic integrity. Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academic dishonesty (plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a serious offence. The appropriate referencing style for this unit is Harvard. The University library provides information on presentation of assignments, including referencing styles and should be referred to when completing tasks in this unit. Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification please see your unit coordinator or lecturer. Plagiarism Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work. If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines. You may also find the Academic Honesty site on MyLO of assistance. The intentional copying of someone else’s work as one’s own is a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, to exclusion from a unit, a course or the University. The University and any persons authorised by the University may submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable works may also be included in a reference database. It is a condition of this arrangement that the original author’s permission is required before a work within the database can be viewed. For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see the Plagiarism and Academic Integrity page on the University web site or the Academic Honesty site on MyLO. Page 13 JEE421-422 Design Project
Academic misconduct Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy work for an assignment or an examination, and any other conduct by which a student: a. seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantage or advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or b. improperly disadvantages any other student. Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that range from a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in Ordinance 9: Student Discipline – Part 3 Academic Misconduct. Page 14 JEE421-422 Design Project

Page 16 JEE421-422 Design Project
Unit schedule The Design Project is a year-long development of the skills for carrying out an engineering design for an industry-client. Weeks alternate between Workshops and time booked in the computer lab for conducting your project work. The workshops are three-hour slots timetabled on Thursday mornings and will include a series of technical and industry presentation and self-development sessions. On the days timetabled for computer lab sessions, individual team meetings will be timetabled in 15-minute slots, wherein all team members must attend to present progress to the unit coordinators. Lecture sessions on contemporary topics related to design project may be given by the unit facilitator(s), other academic staff members, or external guest speakers. Details of the schedule will be announced through MyLO. Specific attendance/performance requirements Attendance at all assigned class times is expected. You are responsible for all information (both academic and administrative) presented during class times. Should you miss a class for whatever reason it is your responsibility to obtain information and content that was missed. Attendance at all tutorials, laboratory and practical sessions (including any project work) is compulsory. In this unit, your active engagement will be monitored in the following way: 1. Completion of a questionnaire related to the unit outline of JEE421/422 on MyLO 2. Active contribution to team effort as evidenced by a series of minutes of meetings carried to date. The minutes of meetings are to be uploaded to MyLO by 4:00pm on Friday, 22 March. If you do not demonstrate evidence of having engaged actively with this unit by completing these two activities by Week 4 of semester, your enrolment may be cancelled or you may be withdrawn from the unit. Teaching and learning strategies A design problem is by nature open ended and the skill to do design can only be learned by doing an actual design itself. This unit is about problem-based learning experience in a group setting and, hence, most of the knowledge in this unit is imparted by your interaction with your fellow team members. It is important to keep in mind that unit facilitators and the client will only give you guidance on how to approach your design, but not a solution for the design itself. You are responsible for actively identifying all possible sources of information that can assist in developing your design solution. Work Health and Safety (WHS) The University is committed to providing a safe and secure teaching and learning environment. In addition to specific requirements of this unit you should refer to the University’s Work Health and Safety website and policy. Page 17 JEE421-422 Design Project
