Subject description

This subject develops students'professional information technology practice skills within the context of a real-life technology project, through the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Challenge. Students work in teams to create an appropriate design solution for a given problem as set out in the EWB Challenge Design Brief. While appreciating the central role of effective communication and teamwork in IT practice, students develop an understanding of the ethical, social, cultural, economic and environmental responsibilities of an IT professional. This subject is a starting point for students'ongoing professional development that they undertake throughout their studies and as an IT professional in their career.

The skills introduced include understanding and applying principles and theories of human communication; researching the various discipline areas that inform the development of a design solution; identifying, formulating and designing a solution to solve a problem while considering ethical and socio-technical issues; written and oral communication for IT contexts; expressing technology concepts through visual communication; and, leading and participating in team processes.

Subject learning objectives (SLOs)

Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:

1. Demonstrate an awareness of Indigenous Australian cultural, historic, and contemporary contexts in order to inform work in a complex project

2. Identify stakeholder needs and ethical considerations through the empathise design stage

3. Apply a design thinking approach to meet stakeholder needs

4. Communicate an evidence-based design solution for an IT or engineering project

5. Explain how different experiences of a diverse team work together to achieve a design solution

Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)

This subject also contributes specifically to the development of the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes

(CILOs):

Indigenous Professional Capability: FEIT graduates are culturally and historically well informed, able to co-design projects as respectful professionals when working in and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. (A.1)

Socially Responsible: FEIT graduates identify, engage, interpret and analysestakeholder needs and cultural

perspectives, establish priorities and goals, and identify constraints, uncertainties and risks (social, ethical, cultural, legislative, environmental, economics etc.) to define the system requirements. (B.1)

Design Oriented: FEIT graduates apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to develop components, systems and processes to meet specified requirements. (C.1)

Collaborative and Communicative: FEIT graduates work as an effective member or leader of diverse teams, communicating effectively and operating within cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural contexts in the workplace.

(E.1)

Teaching and learning strategies

Each week students are expected to prepare for tutorials by completing a set of online tasks provided on Canvas. The

tasks involve such activities as reading and notetaking, watching a video, completing a quiz, and other online

exercises. Responses to the pre-class tasks are used in online classes to add depth to discussion and are an essential component to the concepts covered throughout the subject are used in-class to add depth to discussion and are an

essential component to the concepts covered throughout the subject. In addition, students will go through the stages of writing a project report, culminating in a final report describing their proposal for the EWB project.

During online/ face to face tutorials,students will build on the pre-work to learn new skills. These skills will be

practiced in class and are designed to be relevant to the tasks involved in the EWB challenge team project. Areas of learning in tutorial classes include problem solving, team building, exploring scenarios with a focus on ethics, project management, design and build, reflection and group discussion. Activities support acquisition of professional

information technology skills in a small group setting under the supervision of a tutor; these skills relate directly to your major group EWB project.

OPELA: An aim of this subject is to help you develop academic and professional language and communication skills in order to succeed at university and in the workplace. To determine your current academic language proficiency, you are required to complete an online language screening task, OPELA. If you receive a Basic grade for OPELA, you

must attend additional Language Development Tutorials (each week from weeks 3 to 12) in order to pass the subject. The development of these tutorials is a new university-wide initiative designed to provide personalised support and enhance students’ English language skills. They will focus on developing your communication skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and your independent learning skills, which will help you to prepare for the subject assessment tasks and for professional workplace communication tasks.

Assessment

Assessment tasks for this subject are designed to help you explore and apply the skills essential to professionals.

These skills will be used in the completion of your team EWB Challenge project. You are encouraged to discuss the tasks with your group, other students in your class, and your tutor. However, you should not provide a copy of your work to other students nor share it online. Some tasks require individual effort and others involve teamwork. All tasks require honest and ethical best practice, taking ownership of your own learning to extending your knowledge and

abilities, and your acceptance of the responsibilities involved in collaborative learning.

The EWB Challenge is a team project. It is an expectation of the subject that you will contribute equally to the

research, design, and development of the design solution and your team’s assessments. Subject content throughout tutorials will assist you to identify team roles and develop strategies for effective teamwork. Self and Peer Assessment online software (SPARK) will be used to evaluate and provide feedback on the efficient functioning of the team and

individual contribution to the teamwork.

In Week 3 tutorials, groups are self-formed during class through in-tutorial activities. If you do not have a team by

Wednesday Week 4, you may be refused permission to attempt Assessment task 3, and a fail will be recorded for the subject. Further, team members who do not contribute to teamwork will be listed on non-contributing in the relevant team assessment and will receive zero marks for that team assessment.

Please see Canvas for a detailed description of the requirements for each assessment task, marking guides (rubrics) and online assignment submission instructions.
