1 EDUCATIONAL APPROACH: WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MODULE

When most engineers enter into industry, their knowledge of design theory in their

specific field is sound. Depending on which discipline of engineering the student chose

to specialise in, that student slots into a predefined role. The design Mechanical

Engineer on a Greenfields plant or the heavy current Electrical Engineer at a power

station or perhaps the process control Chemical Engineer at a refinery to name but a

few.

The student, who is now the Engineer, is fully capable of fulfilling his/her role in the

work place. However, two major issues arise quite quickly. The first being the Engineer’s

ability to understand the influence of his/her work on the surroundings, whether it be

the environment, the housing complex next door or even the work colleague in the next

cubicle.

The second major issue is the Engineer’s ability to work in a team. Not a team consisting

of only Industrial Engineers or Mining Engineers. A team consisting of all disciplines of

Engineering necessary to fulfil their role in the work place, a multidisciplinary team who

understands the role of the various disciplines of engineering and is able to

communicate soundly between one another.

This module has been specially designed to provide the student with the tools to

circumvent these two major issues. It has been divided up into two sections, with a

theory section and a practical section. The theory section will deal with engineering and

society, environmental issues, work place considerations as well as occupational and

public health and safety.

The practical section will deal with multidisciplinary group work whereby the students

will gain some knowledge in effective team work, systems engineering and

communications skills. Students will form part of multidisciplinary groups whereby, as

teams, they will complete a pre-determined multidisciplinary project.

Although each section will be managed in a different way, the information gathered in

the theory will spill over into the practical section and vice versa. It is the student’s

responsibility and duty to master this module as it will only serve to assist him/her in

the future.

MIA320 Study Guide 5

4 STUDY MATERIAL

The following textbook is prescribed:

The Impact of Engineering on Society – A Multidisciplinary Approach 2nd Edition

Compiled by Nicola Kotzé

Pearson Custom Publishing

ISBN 978-1-7843-438-80

Any notes on study material not covered in the textbooks will be made available in

electronic format on Click-Up. These lectures will also be part of the syllabus.

Lecture slides will also be made available on Click-Up. Please note that these lecture

slides do not cover all the work discussed in class and students should take down their

own supplementary notes during lectures.

Problem solutions covered in detail during the lectures will not be made available again

at a later stage.

MIA320 Study Guide 8

5 LEARNING ACTIVITIES

5.1. Contact Time and Learning (2-1-0, as per Regulations & Study, Part 1, 2008)

Number of lectures a week: 2 lectures, 50 minutes per lecture

Number of tutorials a week: 1 lectures, 50 minutes per lecture

This module carries a weighting of 8 credits, indicating that on average a student

should spend a minimum of 80 hours to master the required skills (including time for

preparation for tests and examinations). This means that on average you should

devote some 6.2 hours of study/group work time per week to this module. The

scheduled contact time is approximately 2.5 hours per week, which means that

another 3.7 hours per week of own study/group work time should be devoted to the

module.

5.2. Distribution of lectures during the course of the semester

The module is in essence, split into two distinct areas, namely the Semester Project

(ELO8) and the Theoretical Study (ELO7). These two areas are presented in parallel

whereby each Monday lecture will be dedicated to group work and Thursday’s lectures

(besides those indicated in 5.2.1 below) will be dedicated to theory.

5.2.1. Semester Project (ELO8)

The semester project will take place from 20 July 2015 up to and including 28

September 2015. During this time, the students will be given the opportunity to

work in a multidisciplinary group during all of Monday contact sessions, the 23

July session as well as the one of the lectures during 30 July and 6 August

sessions. Students will be allocated to a group and each group will have an

assigned supervisor and predetermined project topic.

The Lecturers will from time to time present work pertaining to the semester

project during this time; however these presentations will only take

approximately 20 minutes per lecture. It is therefore critical to the success of the

semester projects that all group members attend all lecture/tutorial periods as

they will be given the opportunity to work on their semester project and interact

with their supervisors.

The final due date for the project submission is 26 October 2015. The Oral Exam

will take place on 6 November 2015. Details pertaining to the semester project

can be found in section 8.2.

MIA320 Study Guide 9

5.2.2. Theoretical Study (ELO7)

The theoretical study of the course will take place throughout the semester

during either one or both of the Thursday contact sessions. The Lecturers will

present course material, based on the prescribed textbook.

Students are expected to attend all three lectures. Class notes will be made

available on ClickUP. The theoretical study will be assessed via two ClickUP Class

Tests, 1 written semester test and 1 written exam. All tests/exams will be in the

form of multiple choice questions. Details pertaining to the theoretical study can

be found in section 8.1.

5.3. Lectures

Lecture and Tutorial attendance and participation in discussions are compulsory.

Random role call will be taken as it is in the student’s best interests to attend class and

gain the maximum time to work on the module as a group.

Since the contents of each lecture follow on those of previous lectures, it is in

students’ own interest to study the material covered on a regular basis and not to miss

a lecture. However, should a student not be able to attend a certain lecture for

whatever reason, the onus is on him / her to obtain the study material and catch up on

the work. No individual lectures will be presented. Any material will rarely be

repeated in a following lecture.

Students MUST sit with their groups during the group work sessions. This will give the

students the opportunity to maximise their time in a multidisciplinary environment. It

will also give the students the opportunity to work on their project during class.

Students are expected to prepare for lectures. Since a large volume of work needs to

be covered, it is not possible to lecture every aspect in the finest detail. Students

should therefore read the textbook thoroughly and already know beforehand what the

next lecture is about in order to identify anything that is unclear. The lecturer may

also assign some sections of the textbooks and lecture notes / hand-outs for self-study.

These sections will be part of the syllabus, but will not be discussed in the class.

MIA320 Study Guide 10

5.4. Lecture Venues

The following venue arrangements are applicable for the semester:

Groups 1 – 70: AE du Toit 10h30 to 11h20 Mondays

MIA320 Study Guide 20

8.2. Module Composition (ELO8) – Group work

Students have been randomly grouped into multidisciplinary groups and must

complete a paper project. The project topic will be given to each group. Each group

will share a Teaching Assistant with 13 other groups and must use the Teaching

Assistant to guide them through the project. The lecturers will be available at all times

to provide additional guidance to all groups as necessary.

The students will need to submit a protocol to their Teaching Assistant. Within the

protocol, the group will need to explain in their own words what their project is about

and provide a work breakdown structure indicating which group member is

responsible for specific tasks. It is critical that the groups complete this task as soon as

possible as it is the foundation of project.

Over and above this, groups will be require to keep a logbook documenting all the

group activities during the semester as well as individual group work interaction forms

documenting how each group member interacted with each other.

At the end of the semester the groups will present their work in the form of a project

data pack (semester mark) and oral presentation (exam).

8.2.1. Report Submission

Groups will be given an opportunity to submit their reports from as early as 28

September 2015. Any groups that do so will receive a weighted bonus score for the

early submission. The final submission date is 26 October 2015.

Students must please note that the bonus score CAN NOT BE USED TO HELP YOU

PASS. i.e. if you achieve a mark lower than 50% for your group report/individual

report, the bonus score will not be used to increase your mark to a pass mark.

The weighted bonus mark schedule is as follows:

Submission Date Bonus Score

28 September 2015 15% (weighted)

12 October 2015 10% (weighted)

19 October 2015 5% (weighted)

26 October 2015 0%

MIA320 Study Guide 21

8.2.2. “Firing” a group member

Individual group members can be fired by their colleagues. Please note that this

will lead to that group member failing the module.

A group member can only be fired if:

a) The group member received two written warnings (a written warning must

be delivered to the student in person in the presence of a lecturer) stating

the reason of the warning, with proof i.e. missed deadlines.

b) On his/her 3rd offence the student can be asked by the group to attend a

disciplinary hearing – a lecturer/Teaching Assistant must be present at this

hearing.

Please note that the availability of this tool is not to be taken lightly. Firing a group

member would mean that that person FAILS the module automatically. However,

experience has shown that some students choose to ignore deadlines etc. at the

detriment of the group.

This tool is to be used with maturity, honesty and professionalism.

8.2.3. Study Themes

Four study themes will be discussed randomly throughout the semester and will

provide the students with the tools and templates to complete the semester

project.

Theme Source

1. Systems engineering and sound

engineering practice.
