CMEA444/ENVE928/MINE929 Multidisciplinary Engineering Design S222

Student Chartered Professional Engineer Report

Purpose

This assignment, as part of the capstone subject CMEA444/ENVE928/MINE929 Multidisciplinary Engineering Design, is developed as an introduction to the Chartered Status application process run by Engineers Australia. You are required to complete the report, following the assessment criteria, and based on your academic learning gained so far during your civil/environmental/mining engineering degree course, as well as in this subject.

Requirements

To achieve ‘chartered status’ in this capstone subject, you are required to compile a comprehensive report demonstrating your attainment of the following professional learning outcomes:

1. Demonstrated ability to apply conceptual design and detailed design skills to engineering projects.

2. Ability in applying cost estimation techniques to civil/environmental/mine engineering projects.

3. Ability to bring together different disciplines in a practical project, such as an engineering project including structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, hydrologic and environmental aspects.

4. A work history of considering non-technical factors in engineering design, such as safety and risk management, time management, and community engagement.

5. Evidence of effective teamwork skills in different team environments, such as consulting teams, design teams, and minor project teams.

The report must contain sufficient evidence to support your claims to achievement of the above learning outcomes. Forms of evidence that will be considered may include, but are not limited to:

• Design reports, both current drafts and previously graded assignments in engineering subjects.

• Achievements, awards, and performance in relevant subjects in your degree course.

• Assignment feedback.

• Feedback from prior professional work experience.

• References from colleagues and former employers.

• Relevant email correspondence and meeting minutes (particularly important for teamwork skills).

 Length

As this is a substantial assignment comprising 20% of the total mark for CIVL444/ENVE421/ENVE928, the main body of the report is expected to be about 4000 words in length, attached evidence is additional to this. Marks will be awarded based on the assessment criteria as follows.

 Compiling your report and collecting evidence

Finding evidence

The suggested process for identifying, collecting, and reporting evidence to demonstrate your attainment of the five learning outcomes requirements is as follows:

i. Summarise your understanding of the requirements precisely;

ii. Describe activities you have performed that demonstrate effectively the

knowledge and capabilities;

iii. Present evidences powerfully that you can convince others that you have

completed these activities successfully;

iv. Describe clearly what evidence do you have access to, and what evidence

can you source;

v. Plan carefully how you will argue that you have attained the learning

requirements based on the evidence you have available: What are the key

points you want to make? How do you support your points/conclusions?

vi. Prepare the report professionally. Make sure you reference and annotate your

sources of evidence effectively so that the assessor can find it easily. Post-it notes, highlighting, and references to page numbers or section headings within your sources of evidence are appropriate.
