This course provides an opportunity for students to experience a working environment in an architecture firm in which to observe and apply their knowledge and skills for the degree. Projects will be negotiated between the School and the host organisation, involving students in a variety of design stages from preliminary design, design development, documentation, and presentation to a client. Students may also be involved in meetings, clerical work and administration in order to gain insight into the day-to-day functioning of a business.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes


    This course is based on the principles of experiential learning and requires
    students to be placed in an Organisation with workplace supervision and
    mentoring. Students will also be expected to speak one-on-one with the academic
    supervisor or internship student adviser (minimum) two times during their
    internship to discuss the nature of their engagement  and their assessment.

    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.



    Internships take place 2 days per week in an organisation over 12 weeks. This is usually during university Semester 2 (28/7/14- 31/10/14 although some students have negotiated to work through the 2-week mid-semester break of semester 2). Internships can be offered more intensively (for example 3-5 days over 4-6 weeks, or intensively 5 days per week for 5 weeks during the mid-Year Break June – July or for 5 weeks after 03 November 2014) depending on the requirements of the organisation and the availability of the student. This will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

    There is an expectation that extra time will be required to complete the assignments for this course.
    Learning Activities Summary


    In addition to regularly attending the Organisation’s workplace,
    students are expected to speak with the academic supervisor/internship student
    adviser on at least two occasions during the internship, and once beforehand.
          
    An initial discussion between the student and academic supervisor should occur to set
    expectations and discuss broadly the reflective journal and the record of work
    undertaken applicable for the student. This will be combined with the professional induction session

    A follow up discussion between the student and academic supervisor/internship
    student adviser at the beginning of the internship to ensure that the student
    has settled in, and feels comfortable.
          
    A final discussion should occur towards the end of the placement, to discuss the
    learning outcomes and final submission of the reflective journal and statement
    of practical experience.

    The Course Coordinator / Student Adviser will be available throughout the duration of the work placement to advise or assist you with any content-related issues you face in the workplace, and to advise on
    liaison with your internship mentor about workplace issues.

    Specific Course Requirements
    Students need to gain experience in the formal and structured industry-managed Internship course,
    with a registered Organisation. Approval must have been granted from the School
    of Architecture and Built Environment to be enrolled in Internship ARCH 7036, LARCH 7030

    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • 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.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
