This course will be delivered in the following means:

2 lectures of 1 hour plus 1 hour of tutorial per week plus 9x4 hours of practical sessions throughout the course.

Lectures are supported by formative tutorials which reinforce student knowledge in each of the subject areas addressed by the course. Formative practical sessions provide students with a hands-on demonstration of application of the course material, together with the opportunity to participate in group learning “in the field” (vineyard and/or winery). Two individual and one group project allow students to apply course learning to set topics of research interest and industry relevance.

Lecture/Tutorial Topics                                                                                                                                    

Practicals – Winery (week 1-8)                                                                                                                   

As these are large scale practicals, each practical will be set up weekly in the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory as a “practical station”. Student small groups will be rotated through each practical station on a roster basis (determined by the Course Coordinator) throughout the semester. This is to provide each small group with practical hands-on experience of important winery engineering operations that encourages discovery and reinforces learning outcomes.

Winery design                                                                                                              

Grape processing and fluid transfer                                                                               

Refrigeration and Heat transfer                                                                                      

Filtration                                                                                                                      

Electrical systems and instrumentation                                                                          

Process Improvement      


Practicals – Vineyard (week 9-12)     

Irrigation design & vineyard instrumentation

Vineyard automation

Advanced vineyard technologies                                                                                                                                                                   

Final Exam (50%)

A 3 hour final summative exam (consisting of short and long answer questions) will be given at the end of the semester to ensure summative knowledge of all course material (lectures, background reading and practicals). Due to the practical and industry focused nature of this course, students must achieve at least 50% of the available marks in the final exam to pass the course. This is to ensure mastery of core Discipline elements relevant to professional practice.

Individual Project Reports (20%)

Students will prepare two 1000 word individual project reports based on practical work (with project topics to be selected by the Course Coordinator from the list of practical components taught in this course) which will be submitted in week 4 (formative report) and week 12 (summative report) respectively. These individual reports will each be worth 10% of the total course mark (ie 20% overall for individual project reports).

Group Project Report (20%)

Students will work in their winemaking groups to prepare a 2500 word (maximum) project report (with project topics to be selected by the Course Coordinator from the list of practical components taught in this course) which will be submitted in week 9.  A single report is to be handed up by the group and all group members will receive the same mark, worth 90% of the total for this assessment item. The remaining 10% of the total mark for this assessment item will be from a group peer assessment.

Online quiz (10%)

Submitted via MyUni, the quiz can be accessed multiple times once available, until the due date in approximately week 8. Covers material from the weeks preceding the quiz.

Late Submission
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply.  A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.
