CEME 3007 - Integrated Environment Planning and Impact Assessment

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2022

The growing local and global reach of the impacts of human development on the natural environment necessitate the use of an integrated systems approach towards understanding, modelling and decision making in human-environmental systems. The inter-connectedness of these systems means that traditional modelling paradigms need to be expanded to account for the array of key socio-techno-ecological processes. For environmental engineers working at the interface between human development and the natural environment, spatial, dynamic and integrated assessment modelling techniques, coupled with scenario-based strategies to deal with deep uncertainty, are becoming increasingly important approaches. This course will focus on a systems approach to conceptualising human-environmental systems? problems, and adopt spatio-dynamic modelling and deep uncertainty framing tools and for the purpose of planning and decision-making.

  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    The learning objectives for this course are to:

    1) Recognise and explain the role of systems thinking and systems approaches in tackling wicked problems.

    2) Identify, apply and compare qualitative systems mapping techniques to complex human-environmental systems (e.g. influence diagrams, causal loop diagrams, stock and flow diagrams).

    3) Develop quantitative System Dynamics models for environmental and renewable energy systems.

    4) Design structured computational studies to investigate and analyse environmental and renewable energy systems subject to deep uncertainty.

    5) Prepare engineering reports based on results from computational studies of environmental and renewable energy systems.

    Workload

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

    In line with 最新糖心Vlog guidelines, it is expected that the average student should spend 12 hours per week on this course. In addition to the lectures (up to 2 hours per week) and the face-to-face sessions (up to 2 hours per week), students are expected to spend the additional remaining time allocation reviewing lecture material, reading course readings, working on assignments, and working on the modelling exercises and projects.
    Learning Activities Summary
    This course will involve up to two hours of online lectures each week, combined with either a two hour workshop or computing practical session each week.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    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.

    Assessment Summary
    This course will involve written response assignments, model development and simulation assignments, and a major group project.


    Assessment Detail
    Details of all assessments will be made avaliable through MyUni.
    Submission
    All submissions will be electronic and through MyUni.

  • 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.
