Keys to success

The following is good advice to help you to be successful in your studies:-

Study at the Diploma and Advanced Diploma level is quite onerous and you need to be well

organised in your approach.

Take personal responsibility for your learning. The staff members are there to assist you but you

do the actual learningnot other people.

Attend all lectures and do all the assignments otherwise you will fall behind and problems may

arise.

Read the handout notes for each topic before the class and reread them after the lecture. This

exposes you to the concepts and material three times and gives your brain more chance to

understand and remember it.

Plan your time so that you complete each assignment ahead of the deadline. For many of our

students this is preparation for the workplace feeble excuses dont get you very far in the real

world.

If you are doing everything above and feel your studies are getting on top of you, seek help as

soon as possible. You must talk to your lecturer, the Principal Lecturer, or a Learning Support

Lecturer and let them know that you need help.

Get to know the other students in your classes and help each other as much as possible without

breaching the plagiarism policy. This is also important learning for you because the ability to

work effectively in a team is highly valued in the workplace.

Work at a paraprofessional level involves being able to think for yourself and come up with

creative solutions to problems and the lecturing staff will be trying to nurture this ability.

Expect to be challenged in your thinking rather than sitting passively as an empty vessel waiting

to be filled with skills and knowledge.

You are expected to do more than simply complete assignments. To succeed in this course, you

need to devote at least one hour outside of class for each hour spent in class for study or doing

tutorial problems.

Achieving a personal understanding of the material requires being actively involved in the learning

process through questioning, completing assignments and linking material covered in one unit to

material covered in another. You must use the program as a means of teaching yourself how to

learn, how to find information and grasp its meaning quickly and accurately and then use it to solve

problems. This holistic approach is invaluable in giving meaning and relevance to learning and

will enable you to be ethical and effective as a para-professional engineer. It is crucial that you use

your relatively short time in the Engineering program to develop the skills and understanding

necessary so that you can problem solve, be innovative and value-add to the work place.

Grading Policy

Pass 60%

The student must demonstrate a basic understanding of the subject andproficiency at solving simple problems in most of the performance criteria.

Credit 75%

The student must demonstrate a good understanding of the subject and

proficiency at solving complex problems in most of the performance criteria.

Distinction 90%

The student must consistently demonstrate mastery of the subject andproficiency at solving complex problems in all performance criteria.

Exam and Assignment Policy

Assessment/Exams

Students missing exams with documented evidence* may sit a

supplementary exam without penalty. Eligibility for re-sitting exams will be at the discretion of the individuallecturer.

Students who do not attend a programmed test/exam without acceptableevidence will be resulted as a FAIL.

Students who attempted and failed a programmed test/exam may be giventhe opportunity for a re-sit with penalty.

Any re-sits will be at a designated time and place.

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones must be switched off during all exams. It is an offence tohave your phone on or to answer your phone during any exam.

Failure to comply may result in the student being evicted from the exam.

Assignments

Late assignments or projects will only be accepted with penalty.*Examples include a doctors certificate, employers letter or advice from a

student counsellor.Special Consideration

To request special consideration, students must discuss their requirementswith their lecturer and submit appropriate evidence or documentation

Grounds for special consideration in assessment include but are not limited to:Illness / medical condition, English language, limitation, Compassionate,Religious Observance and community service

Assignment Submission

The procedure for handing up assignments outside of lecture time is as follows:

There is an assignment slot located opposite the reception desk. Students should deposit their assignments into this slot. Assignments must clearly identify the name of the student and lecturer. Collating including stapling of all submissions is the responsibility of the

student and not the office staff.

Cheating or plagiarism

What is plagiarism?

Put simply, plagiarism is cheating.

Plagiarism is cheating and can take many forms. Three common forms are:

Using the ideas, words or work of other students and to submit these in an assessment task astheir own.

Using the ideas, words or work from published sources and to submit them in an assessmenttask as their own. Work taken from any source, including the internet, must be rewritten in thestudents own words and due acknowledgement of the source given in a bibliography.

Contributing less than their student colleagues to a group assignment and to then claim an equalshare of the marks.

TAFE Policy

TAFE has a responsibility to ensure that students seeking formal awards do so against statewideacademic standards. As part of this process, TAFE has developed policies to ensure individual

students do not have an unfair advantage and compete fairly and equitably. It is expected that workpresented by students for assessment is original and their own work. For this reason TAFE hasdeveloped a Cheating or Plagiarism Policy.

Cheating or plagiarism violates TAFE Policy.

Cheating or plagiarism is an offence.

Consequences of plagiarism

In the first instance the lecturer will call an interview with the student(s) to discuss the suspectedplagiarism or cheating. The lecturer in conjunction with a Student Counsellor, will attempt toresolve the matter, which may involve the student(s) resubmitting the assessment task oraccepting a reduced mark.

Should the issue not be resolved, the matter will involve the Educational Manager or PrincipalLecturer who may request a further meeting with the student(s) to resolve the matter. If there isa dispute, the student(s) may be required to provide supporting evidence of the authenticity oftheir work. Students are encouraged to bring a support person in addition to a StudentCounsellor to this meeting. The matter will be resolved at this point.

Should the student(s) feel dissatisfied with the outcome, the issue may be addressed through theTAFESA Complaints and Appeals Policy process.

How to avoid plagiarism

Although students are encouraged to collaborate and co-operate with their colleagues as thisenhances the learning process, they must make sure that their final submission is their ownwork.

If you are using the precise words of a source, place it in quotation marks and reference thesource. Even if you are paraphrasing i.e. summarising the ideas of others in your own words,you must acknowledge the source in the bibliography.

The internet has been found to be the most common source of plagiarism. If using material fromthe internet, you must rewrite it in your own words and quote the web address (not just the website) in the bibliography.

Finally, plan your study time so that you allow enough time to complete assignments without

resorting to cheating as a quick fix measure.

Enrolment

How and when does enrolment occur?

Enrolment occurs twice per year and is for one semester (half year) of study.

All existing students are issued with an enrolment pack via mail. The enrolmentpack contains a pre-enrolment form on which you can select the units you wish toenrol in. Recommended programmes of study for full-time students are shown onpages 1020 of this handbook. You MUST bring the enrolment pack and thishandbook to the enrolment session where you may receive counselling, ifnecessary, and approval of your study programme. You will also be given theappropriately coded TAFE blue enrolment form on which you fill in yourpersonal details.

Must I attend the enrolment session?

At the enrolment session all completed pre-enrolment forms are checked by alecturer and approved for suitability and the meeting of prerequisites. You mustmake every effort to attend the actual enrolment session as this is when alllecturers are available for counselling and approving study programmes. It maynot be easy to have your form approved at another time, especially in the last

week of each semester when all lecturers are marking and resulting. Lecturers arealso unlikely to be available in the school holidays.

What happens next?

Once your programme of study is approved, an Engineering AdministrativeServices Officer will make copies of your pre-enrolment form and staple theoriginal to the TAFE blue enrolment form. You must present these at the ClientService Centre when you make payment. If you are unable to pay for your studiesat once you may request Fees-by-Instalment and pay the deposit of one quarterof the full amount.

What happens if I havent paid by the time classes start?

You are not enrolled in the class until you have paid at least the deposit. Studentswho have not paid their fees will be permitted to attend the class as an observer.However, lecturers have been instructed:-

To mark the students attendance on the roll

Not to provide any educational assistance to the student

Not to issue any resources to the student

Not to accept or assess any assignments or exams submitted by the student

Not to provide the student with any indication of progress in the unit

Students have access to a student counsellor to discuss any extenuating circumstances.

Enrolment entitlement in units of competency

Fees

The cost of a course depends on the number of hours nominated for each unit of competency, the type of studyinvolved and whether the course is subsidised by the government or is fee-for-service. Each government

subsidised (i.e. FSI 500) course has a set fee based on the nominated hours for each unit. Additional fees,dependent on the program, may be payable for materials, textbooks and protective clothing. Details for all feesfor fee-for-service and government subsidised courses are available prior to enrolment from program orenrolment offices.

Fees by instalment

TAFE SA understands that sometimes it is difficult for students to pay their fees. TAFE SA offers payment ofcourses fees by instalments, which may be approved if you are undertaking a government subsidised course

vocational courses where fees are more than $100. Under normal circumstances, you will be required to pay25% of the full fee to secure your enrolment and the balance in instalments by an agreed due date. Fees byinstalment will only be granted upon successful application.

You will need to think carefully about how you are going to manage your course costs and organise this beforeyou enrol. There are a number of organisations and services that offer financial assistance to students.

Fee Cap

Students in TAFE SA, studying a state government subsidised (i.e. FSI 500) course, will pay the standard TAFE

SA course fee for all subjects/units of that course in which they have enrolled for any two consecutive semestersof study until the amount reaches $2050, regardless of when the fee is paid. Once the $2,050 fee cap has beenreached, any study in subsidised courses, within those two consecutive semesters, will incur no further TAFESA fees.

Fee capping does not apply to all courses eg Traineeships or fee-for-service courses. Fee capping is reviewedannually. Check with your program area prior to enrolment.

Re-enrolment Entitlement Policy

You may enrol twice only in units of competency at the government-subsidised price. Further enrolments in thesame units incur higher fee-for service charges if you:

fail (F)

withdraw (W)

do not achieve the competency (CN)

If exceptional circumstances apply and you have adequate supporting evidence, you may be able to re -enrol atthe subsidised rate by applying to the educational manager.

For further details with regard to Fees, Concessions, Re-enrolment Entitlement Policy, TAFE

SA Refund Policy etc, please refer to the TAFE SA Student Pre-enrolment InformationBrochure.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

1. Definition

Recognition of Prior Learning is the determination, on an individual basis, of

the advanced standing the learner is entitled to as a result of previous formal

training, work experience and or life experience. This process can also be

described as Recognition of Current Competency (RCC).

2. Introduction

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) provides recognition of peoplesknowledge and skills by granting status in units in a course of study. RPL isabout the learner and their current knowledge and skills/competencies, not howthe learning took place. Competencies may have been achieved throughexperience in the work place, self-taught or informal learning, or formaltraining.

The Engineering program is committed to the recognition of skills ofindividuals through establishing and maintaining

Assessment systems which ensure the collection of evidence to recogniseskills in assessing achievement of competencies/learningoutcomes/competencies

Appropriate processes and systems for the recognition of current skills

Application for Recognition of Prior Learning may be made once the studenthas enrolled in an Engineering course of study.

The current skills and knowledge of the student must be matched with thelearning outcomes for each particular unit. As much evidence and verificationas possible must be provided in order to confirm existing skills and knowledge.This may include

Copies of any statements, references or articles about employment or communityinvolvement

Copies of school reports, certificates or statements about education and training

Relevant and verifiedwork samples such as memos, drawings, essays, and

completed work products

Outlines of courses undertaken

Job and person specifications or a curriculum vitae / resume

Challenge test

Any other information which might be relevant

All units must be applied for on an individual basis even if the same evidence

has to be repeated.

Students will need to clearly identify in their application the precise evidence thatrelates to each learning outcome.

More detail of how to present the evidence and the options available are attached

to the application form.

3. Standard of Assessment

When assessing learning from previous studies, work or life experience, the following will betaken into account:

Authenticity The applicant has actually demonstrated the learning outcome that is beingclaimed.

Currency The learning outcome is still valid and performable.

Quality The learning has reached the acceptable level.Transferability The learning outcome can be applied outside the specific context in which

it is learned.

Comparability Prior learning is comparable in content and standard with the unit in whichcredit is being sought. The standards applied in assessing prior learningshould not be greater than those required to pass the module.

Recognition will not normally be given for studies/experience completed more than ten

years prior to application unless there is evidence of substantial relevant experience

during the intervening period.

Recognition can be offered prior to enrolment

4. Procedure for RPL

This should be undertaken as early as possible on commencing your studies so

as to facilitate your progress through the course.

1. Consult your Engineering Student Handbook. For complete details of the elements andperformance criteria for each unit you may download and print the pdf file through theengineering link on the websitewww.engineering4technicians.org This may also be donein the Learning Resource Centre at Panorama Campus

2. Obtain a Recognition of Prior Learning application form from the Engineering Office.

3. If necessary, seek help from the RPL Coordinator for Engineering in order to ascertain thebest direction and approach for the application.

4. Recognition of prior learning is generally achieved in three ways

(1)Passing a challenge test relating specifically to the unit in question.

(2)The provision of a copy of the elements and criteria of a unit individually signed by aqualified engineer. This document must be accompanied by a letter from the engineerverifying his/her qualifications and the working relationship with the applicant.

(3)The provision of authentic documentation in the form of certificates, qualifications andstatements of attainments in which the learning outcomes can be shown to clearly match theunit in question.

5. Complete the application form and submit with all supporting evidence (including propercross-referencing of the evidence to the Performance Criteria) to the Engineering Office.

6. You will shortly receive a receipt for your application and an invoice from the EngineeringOffice. The charge is 50% of the normal cost of studying the unit. Students entitled to aconcession rate are charged 50c per unit hour less which equates to a discount of $20 for a40 hour unit. The process of assessing your application will not be started until you havepaid this account.

7. Consideration of the application will normally take about 30 days from the RPL coordinatorbeing advised that payment has been received. Complex applications involving a number ofunits may take longer.

Recognition of units of competency claimed will be granted in the form of a pass achieved

(PA) in an academic statement.

Application for your Award Parchment

Were all your studies completed under the current award?

You can only receive a parchment for studies that appear in your Academic Statement for thecurrent qualification award. Awards are only accredited for a certain number of years and areregularly reviewed and restructured. Students frequently undertake studies over several years,which results in subject/modules being completed under different awards.

You will therefore need to apply for Credit Transfer into the current award if any of thefollowing apply:

Some of your study was undertaken in modules rather than the new units ofcompetency. An articulation schedule is shown in this document (please refer to thecontents page).

Some of your studies were completed whilst enrolled in the Associate Diploma orAdvanced Certificate of Engineering.

Some of your studies include the old subjects from the pre 1991 Associate Diploma.An articulation schedule listing the equivalent modules for each subject is availablefrom the Engineering Office.

Some studies have occurred outside the Engineering Programme (eg communicationand computing).

Please speak to a member of the administrative staff in the Engineering Office for moreinformation on Credit Transfer and to receive the appropriate form.

Applying for the parchment.

1. Check your results against the requirements for the award.

2. Complete any RPL or Credit Transfer that will be necessary (see above).

3. Obtain an Application to Receive a Parchment/Certificate form from the EngineeringOffice.

4. Complete the form and return it to the Engineering Office.

5. We will generate an Academic Statement and check that you meet the requirements toreceive the award.

6. The Engineering Section at TAFESAPanorama Campus would prefer to issue awardparchments at a graduation ceremony; however students may have their parchmentissued prior to the graduation ceremony. Graduates who have already received theirparchment may still attend the formal graduation. The Graduation ceremony will occur inOctober of each year. Students may also arrange to collect their parchment from theEngineering Office or receive it through the postal service.

7. If you meet the requirements, the parchment will normally be prepared within 30 daysfrom lodgement of the application. A copy of the parchment will be posted to you,

together with an authorisation that you have met the requirements of the award. Thisshould satisfy any employer requirement for progression to a higher award or pay level.
