ENG1013 Engineering smart systems

Teaching and learning method

In this unit, formal contact hours consist of workshops and practice classes. Learning in the unit is through multiple methods consisting of:

• Pre-workshop work with online quiz assessment
• Workshop and practical class engagement
• Completion of in-semester content tests
• Completion of a major project
• Completing problem sheets throughout the semester

Practical class allocation

There are 3-hours of practice classes scheduled each week, commencing in Week 1. You must enrol in one practice class only using Allocate Plus. If you are not allocated to a particular practice class, you will not be accepted into that session without the written consent of the unit coordinator. Once a particular session is full, no more students will be accepted unless evidence is shown that timetabling means that is the only session possible.

Teaching approach

In a typical week, you are expected to:

• Read selected unit materials and watch online videos prior to attending workshops. This will be assessed in a weekly pre-workshop online quiz in Moodle.
• Attend workshops that focus on the application of the weekly discipline-specific topics and examples. Engagement in workshops will be assessed via the use of audience response systems.
• Perform self-study to work your way through the problem sheets with included solutions.
• Engage in practical classes, which will include a mix of activities that teach and apply teamwork, information literacy and writing skills, and apply and consolidate discipline-specific knowledge gained in workshops in hands-on experiments
• Work in teams on completing the two major projects for the unit. You can also find information on inclusive teaching practices for students with learning disabilities or mental health conditions at www.monash.edu.au/lls/inclusivity
