Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper is taught using lectures and workshops. In the first part of the paper students will work in groups to develop project ideas. Each group will identify, research and develop solutions to a complex engineering problem for which they will prepare a design brief and conceptual designs for a range of options. In the second part of the paper, groups will develop a detailed design as the solution to another complex problem. The final design report will be supported by an oral presentation delivered at the end of the semester. Groups will also produce a poster display highlighting their final design for the Engineering Design Show.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

Students will work in groups but will be assessed on both individual and team work submitted. Students are required to identify individual contributions to group assignments. Individual marks for all assessments will account for how each group member is contributing to the team and on each design component.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
