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.

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).

Individual Project Report - Vineyard Tech (15%)

Students will prepare an individual project report (approx. 1500 words) on a Vineyard Ag-Tech Innovation, which will be submitted in week 5.

Group Project Report - Winery Design (25%)

Students will work in groups to prepare a 2500 word project report detailing results of the group’s winery energy audit and associated winery design, which will be submitted in week 13. A single report is to be handed up by the group and all group members will receive the same mark.

Online quiz (10%)

Submitted via MyUni, the quiz can be accessed multiple times once available, until the due date in approximately week 10. 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.
