Additional Information

Competencies / Learning Outcomes [Delete as appropriate] Assessed

• Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and understanding of topics studied.
• Apply the appropriate engineering and mathematical tool, technique or model to analyse engineering systems and components that fulfil new needs.
• Generate innovative designs for systems, processes or components that fulfil new needs.
• Apply the appropriate computer software or computer techniques to solve engineering problems and be able to assess the limitations in each.
• Possess the ability to identify such data that is pertinent and apply it in the solution of a complex engineering problem.

Submission Window, Exceptional Circumstances, and Assessment Regulations  

You are expected to submit work by the submission date specified at the start of the assignment specification. Some assignments may support a 7-day window in which students can submit work late without penalty, and this will be specified below the submission date at the start of this brief. Any work submitted outside of the submission date (or submission window, where allowed) will be given a mark of zero.

You can find details about what you need to do if you are unable to submit the assessment on time on the Registry Services Exceptional Circumstances Portal page. Any deferral request must be submitted online within 7-days of the final submission date (or submission window where allowed). In all cases, evidence will be required to support the deferral.

Deadline for applying for a deferral to the next assessment point: Specify date

You can find out more about University regulations related to assessment on the Registry Services Assessment Regulations page.

Academic Conduct 

The University Academic Conduct Policy explains how students are expected to take responsibility for the fair presentation of the contents of any work they present for assessment. This includes acknowledging the use of Artificial Intelligence tools. Breaching the academic conduct policy can have serious penalties.

The material you submit must be your own work. You must not collude with your peers on your work unless the brief explicitly allows this (such as in the case of group work). Further information is available below

All sources used must be cited and referenced using the APA format. Guidance on how to cite and reference sources can be found in the Cite Them Right Online guidance (sign in with your University network account)
