Handbook

Prerequisites: Completion of 72 engineering credit points

Students will work with publicly available data sets to model the movement of contaminants through the environment.

Lectures and practice classes will be delivered in a combination of pre-recorded topics and real-time sessions to give students more opportunities for enquiry and discussion with lecturers.

Students will work in groups for in-semester assessment tasks and will also peer-review other teams submissions to enhance uptake of unit materials.

Case studies will be used to explain lecture content with a particular focus on case studies to explore contaminant fate and transport from various sources through different parts of the environment.

This assessment task contributes to the total continuous assessment component of the unit hurdles.

The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
