How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content
This paper will be taught using a combination of lectures, tutorials, labs and a small project. The lectures introduce the material and include numerous worked examples. The tutorials provide opportunities for students to work on exercises in assignments related to the teaching theory based on problems similar to those covered in the lectures. The lecturer or tutor will be available to assist students with their assignments during the tutorials. The labs allow for hands-on learning and provide an opportunity for the students to apply the theory they learn. The small project is based around an open ended design question and allows students to add research and engineering judgment to their theory in order to arrive at a solution.

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The learning outcomes are assessed in tests, weekly assignments, labs, a project, and an exam, weighted as shown:

50% Final Exam (In person, Restricted Book)

20% Two Tests (In person, each worth 10%)

10% Assignments (Five assignments, each worth 2%)

10% Lab works (Four experiments, each worth 2.5%)

10% Project

Final exam

The final examination will be at the end of the trimester, covering the whole semester’s lecture material. It will be a Restricted Book examination and will be sat in-person rather than online. Programmable calculators, not containing stored information, are allowed. Students are allowed to two sides of A4 notes hand-written into the exam room. The Exam worth 50% of your final grade. Students must score at least 40% on the exam to pass the course. The format of the final examination will be discussed in lectures during the last week of the course, but will be similar to those from previous years (the 2019 exam with solutions is available on the Moodle page).

Tests

There will be two 50-minute tests (10th August and 28th September) worth 20 (10% each) during the term.

Assignments

There will be five fortnightly assignments that contribute 10% to the final mark.

All assignments and lab worksheets are submitted at the School of Engineering Assignment Box (E.2.04). Marked assignments will be handed out in the lecture and tutorials.

Lab work

There are four laboratory sessions. The timetable for the labs will be decided by the end of the second week, once all enrolments have been finalised. Each student is required to write a short lab report covering the main results and analysis from the laboratory exercise, which will be submitted at the School of Engineering Assignment Box (E.2.04). The labs contribute 10% to the final mark.

Project

In addition to the assignments, there will be a mini-project worth 10% where students will have the opportunity to apply their heat transfer knowledge to an open-ended design challenge.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 50% or 0% of the overall mark.
