|
| Unit Content: |
This unit will provide students with an opportunity to undertake a significant work project based on their prior study in mathematics and statistics. The unit coordinator may allow a team of students to work collaboratively on a project. Each project will have an allocated supervisor. The main emphasis will be on understanding the problem, being aware of the context of the problem, constructing a strategy for solution and communicating the results. The supervisor and unit coordinator will provide guidance in terms of major milestones to help students plan and manage their project. Students may propose their own topic with the agreement of the Unit Coordinator, provided the project is appropriate in scope and level of technical difficulty and the student has secured a supervisor. |
| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
