Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

The assessment for the paper comprises four laboratory exercises, a laboratory project, and two written tests. Laboratory exercises will be assessed in the laboratory by marking off completed components, in discussion with the laboratory supervisor. The laboratory project will include a final written report and a presentation.

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.
