  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    Background reading and videos help the students project themselves into the world of submariners, mostly within Defence.

    Weekly lectures provide the students with background knowledge but also a forum in which they are engaged.
    Lecturers are proposing materials on which the students are asked about their analysis facing a specific engineering problem within the submarine context.
    These lectures feature video and graphics to best illustrate the challenge.

    An intensive part of the course is run mid-semester with Industry lecturers bringing their knowledge and personal stories.
    As a result of this, the course is a mix of theory (academic) and industry experience with real-life situations that the engineers had to face.

    Students have some formative quizzes leading them from the design principles to actual implementation on systems and technological choices, whilst ensuring balance of the overall ship.

    That knowledge is then used by the students on a number of projects:
    - The reverse engineering of an existing ship from an analytical perspective,
    - An engineering analysis on an existing ship with proposed modifications on key platform and combat systems for 21st century challenges readiness,
    - A project to design a navy ship: this course addresses the final systems engineering part leading to the student’s proposed solution to a set of requirements (actually addressed in MECH ENG 7048).

    Seminars are organized with Industry and a students’ seminar concludes the course with project presentations.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
