Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
Explain the engineering fundamentals which underpin the winemaking process.
Demonstrate an awareness of how engineering methodologies and safe work practices are applied to winery cellar operations such as fermentation, wine clarification, refrigeration and packaging, including understanding of how these processes can impact on product quality.
Employ process engineering and design principles to assess economic and technical improvement opportunities associated with winery operation.
Identify key winery waste production phases based on variation in liquid and solid waste streams and their organic and salt loading, and explain how this impacts on treatment performance.
Understand and communicate current industry best practice in winery waste treatment, sustainability and environmental management.

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
This course is to be delivered in two parts.
Part 1 will provide an overview of the winemaking process followed by more detailed content focused on specific engineering applications. This will be delivered as a 3-day lecture/workshop intensive held at the 最新糖心Vlog’s teaching winery during the April mid-semester break. There will be a strong focus on active learning and industrial relevance as with students participating in discussion, problem-solving and hands-on demonstration of winery technology at large scale.
Part 2 will be delivered in parallel with OENOLOGY 3016WT Cellar and Winery Waste Management III, with lectures and laboratory practicals focused on process engineering applications related to waste management and sustainability, as well as a field trip to the Barossa Valley for a tour of small, medium and large scale commercial winery waste treatment facilities.Workload

Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment task Task type Due Weighting Learning outcome Online quiz Summative Week 8 10% 1-3 Innovation report and video Summative Week 11 20% 1-3 Practical Report Summative Week 13 20% 4-5 Final exam Summative Sem 1 exam period 50% 1-5 Assessment Detail
Online quiz (10%): Submitted via MyUni, the quiz covers material from Part 1. The quiz will be available during week 8.
Innovation report and video (20%): Each student will research a winery process improvement technology innovation, which is to be presented by the student as a video submission with an accompanying written critique. Due week 11
Practical Report (20%): Students will prepare a written report that presents their results from the wastewater analysis practical with an accompanying discussion of the seasonal impact those pollution measures have on waste treatment requirements and disposal options
Due week 13
Final examination (50%): a 2 hour summative exam (consisting of calculations plus short and long answer questions) will be given at the end of the semester to ensure summative knowledge of all course materials.Submission
All assignments and reports will be submitted via MyUni.Course Grading

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.

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.
