Assessment task 3: Individual assessment of technical output and teamwork skills
Task description:
This assignment task is based on an individual evaluation and reflection of the technical output, learning experience, skills and behaviours as demonstrated during the team project. In Assignment 3, you will individually evaluate and highlight technical strengths and weaknesses of your output (leaning on your PDS, FMEA and iterative development and testing) and reflect on how well it meets the client’s /end-user’s expectations. You will also reflect on your collaborative efforts and address your peers’ review feedback throughout the trimester. This individual evaluation is to be completed using the template provided and submitted via dropbox in the Assignments folder on the Unit Site. Please note, completion of the formative activities within the unit, will facilitate completion of this Summative Assessment
This assessment has two components:
1: Individual completion of self-and-peer review of teamwork skills (completed via online tool at the time of the team video submission):
The online peer-and-self review (AT3.1) helps you to reflect on your team’s performance and your individual performance and behaviours within the team. When providing feedback, always be professional and transparent (data-driven comments). Your hard-working teammates might be able to use your positive comments in their resumés. On the other side, your constructive critique can help your peers to improve their skills (teamwork, communication, time management, etc.).
2: Individual assessmentof technical outputand teamwork skills using template provided and submitted viadropbox
Submit an individual reflective technical evaluation on the value proposition of your solution to the client via the provided template.
Below is a detailed list and descriptions of each of the assignment activities:

Technical assessment highlighting weaknesses of your solution and alignment to Stakeholders’ expectations
20%
Technical assessment of your specific output from a professional engineering standpoint (300 words use images and bulletpoints) (is yoursolution robust enoughfor an engineering output? — Whatis its readiness level and what does it need to reach the appropriate technical level?)
Criticalreflection about howwell your solution meets the stakeholders’ brief and expectations against design requirements and engineering considerations (align to the design challenge and your defined metrics or PDS) (200 words bullet points).
The evaluations must be contained in tables involving deep critical thinking and analysis as well as specific justifications demonstrating your critical thinking.
Reflective practice on EA Competencies 20%
- Read The EA STAGE1 COMPETENCY STANDARD FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER
- Identify one (1) or more learning events that you have encountered whilst undertaking thisunit and chooseone (1) of the sixteen(16) Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies.
- Discuss the learning event(s) you have identified with reference to the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency you have chosen(100 words). Your discussion must be contextualised to your specific output and process and demonstrate critical thinking and argumentative practice.
