Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
Learning outcome count Learning outcome description GA1 GA2 GA3 GA4 GA5 GA6 GA7
1 analyse flows of water and nutrients through human settlements and perform calculations relating to: a) the design of efficient water supply systems b) natural domestic waste and wastewater treatment systems including elements such as ponds, constructed wetlands, packed bed filters and ecological sanitation systems.
2 use standard engineering design techniques (including codes and computer based models) to design elements of water supply and wastewater treatment systems
3 adopt an engineering approach when communicating in a professional practice context
4 design on-site wastewater management systems in accordance with NSW and Australian regulatory requirements.
