Aims
This is a project-based unit in which students work in teams to design a solution to an industry driven challenge. The project will have a substantial emphasis on design. Teams of students will have a staff member as a ‘facilitator’ whilst working on this project. Student teams will be allowed to select a project from a range of industry oriented design projects aligned to their chosen specialisation. This unit forms part of the student specialisation selection if their course undertaken has a choice of specialisation.

b) Minimum requirements to pass this Unit
As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all Unit Learning Outcomes to a minimum standard, a student must achieve:
• An aggregate mark of 50% or more
c) Submission Requirements
Assignments and other assessments are generally submitted online through the Canvas assessment submission system which integrates with the Turnitin plagiarism checking service.
All Portfolio tasks are to be completed and managed within Canvas. Canvas contains information on assessment of the Portfolio components. Deadlines for individual Portfolio Components are managed within Canvas. Assessment tasks forming parts of your Portfolio work is submitted based on automated collection of your work, coupled with discussion with your Project Facilitator. Deadlines for these assessment tasks will be provided by the Project Facilitator.
Please ensure you keep a copy of all assessments that are submitted.
d) Extensions and Late Submission
Late Submissions - Unless an extension has been approved, late submissions will result in a penalty. You will be penalised 10% of your achieved mark for each working day the task is late, up to a maximum of 5 working days. After 5 working days, a zero result will be recorded.
e) Referencing
To avoid plagiarism, you are required to provide a reference whenever you include information from other sources in your work. Further details regarding plagiarism are available in Section C of this document.
Referencing conventions required for this unit are the IEEE Citation Policy, more information at:
http://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecitationref.pdf
Helpful information on referencing can be found at
http://www.swinburne.edu.au/library/referencing/
f) Groupwork Guidelines
A group assignment is the collective responsibility of the entire group, and if one member is temporarily unable to contribute, the group should be able to reallocate responsibilities to keep to schedule. In the event of longer-term illness or other serious problems involving a member of group, it is the responsibility of the other members to notify immediately the Unit Convenor or relevant tutor.
Group submissions must be submitted with an Assignment Cover Sheet, signed by all members of the group.
All group members must be satisfied that the work has been correctly submitted. Any penalties for late submission will generally apply to all group members, not just the person who submitted.
