Major Problem Survey - Autumn 2010 The Major Problem Survey is now open.
It is open from 19 March until 26 March 2010.
The Major Problem Survey gives students an opportunity to identify major problems with particular subjects or the course in general, earlier in the semester to enable the Subject Coordinator to address any problems. A more comprehensive survey will be conducted at the end of the semester.
The survey is available online, http://start.it.uts.edu.au/mpsurvey
The survey is an anonymous submission.
Although you must log into the system to access the survey, there is no indication as to who submitted it. Once submitted, the survey is posted to me in an email with no name attached to it. The survey will be submitted to the Associate Dean Teaching and Learning (Engineering).
All responses to problems arising from the Survey will be viewed and actioned by the Associate Dean Teaching and Learning (Engineering).
A copy of the response will be posted on http://www.eng.uts.edu.au/current_students/index.htm#LBN approximately two weeks from last day of submission.
The survey is ONLY for students enrolled in subjects from UTS: Engineering programs.
Last day to submit a survey will be 5.00pm on Friday 26 March 2010.
Please ignore this message if you do not have any problem with your subjects.
Please Do Not Reply to this email. All student related issues should be forwarded to the Building 1 Student Centre or via the UTS helpdesk: http://servicedesk.uts.edu.au e-Request for Study Plan/Enrolment issues: http://www.sau.uts.edu.au/enrolment/e-request/Subject changes in ICT/CSE/Software/Telecommunication Majors Since CSE, Software and Telecommunications majors have been phased-out, students who are enrolled in one of these majors are given the option to remain in their major or transferring into the new ICT Eng major with an appropriate submajor. A number of subjects which are currently required by students in these phasing-out majors will no longer be available from 2008.
For students who remain in the phasing-out majors, the following arrangement will apply:
To help identify those students who may benefit from additional help in some areas of study, every CURRENT student wanting to enroll in 33130 Mathematics Modelling 1 must complete the compulsory Readiness Survey in Maths before semester begins.
Students who do not successfully complete these tests will be withdrawn from the relevant Core or Foundation subjects they are enrolled in. A guide for all students
which provides information on the Faculty, subjects, assessment, contacting
staff, and a wealth of other important information. All students are expected
to be familiar with the information in the guide. Click here to
view the Student Guide. Each year the principal dates change. The UTS critical dates site gives you everything you need to know (except for the dates of the Faculty tutorial weeks). In 2010 the keys weeks are as follows: Note: Each semester is normally 18 weeks long, made up of 14 teaching weeks (one of which is a tutorial week), 1 VC week, and 3 exam weeks. Autumn semester: University and Faculty Units and

2007, the Student Centre located on Level 4 of Building 1will be the main
point of contact for student administrative enquiries. Learning and Design Centres (LDC): A rich learning
environment developed for students by the Faculty. Women in Engineering: The WiE Program was
established at UTS to improve participation of women in the Engineering
profession, and supports female students within our programs. Engineering

providing resources for teachers, creating opportunities for UTS engineering
students, and supporting the Faculty's outreach programs. ELSSA (English Language Skills). Information on Laboratories including bookings Information for students with
special needs Timetables Late in each year (usually in October) you will be asked to choose your subjects for the next year. The Faculty attempts to ensure flexibility in our programs by ensuring that every subject (with a few minor exceptions) is offered in an evening time slot at least once every four semesters, as well as offering subjects in alternative patterns such as block mode or distance mode delivery. The actual timetable is generated automatically and is available at: http://timetable.uts.edu.au Prizes, Competitions and Awards The Faculty offers a
number of awards and prizes for outstanding performance. Details of
these can be found at www.uts.edu.au/study/scholarships.
Dean's List The Dean's List is one of the Faculty initiatives to recognise outstanding undergraduate students' performance. The Dean's List is produced on a yearly basis and the criteria for membership to the list is also revised annually to ensure that the areas of performance that the Faculty wish to reward are consistent with the objectives of the undergraduate programs. Typically students meet one of three criteria for inclusion on the list. 1. Academic achievement: Generally, to qualify for inclusion on the Dean's List under this criterion a student must have completed a minimum number of credit points, and achieved a WAM for the previous year above a certain threshold (which may vary from year to year, but would typically be between 70 and 80). 2. Excellence in Engineering Practice: Generally, to qualify for inclusion on the Dean's List under this criterion a student must have completed a minimum number of credit points, have a WAM above some threshold in the previous year, and been awarded a Distinction or High Distinction in an Engineering Practice Review subject during the previous year. 3. Awarded a Cooperative Scholarship: To qualify for inclusion on the Dean's List under this criterion a student must have been awarded a scholarship during the year in which the list is produced. Students who are included for membership to the Dean's list will
receive a letter from the Dean and are encouraged to record this achievement
in their curriculum vitae.
Are you getting close to graduating? You may wish to confirm with us that your expectations of what else you have to do to graduate are aligned with ours, particularly if you have been caught up in a major course change. You can arrange this with the Building 1 Student Centre.
Archived handbooks can be accessed by clicking here and scrolling down to the bottom. Electives can be grouped
to form a sub-major
which is printed on your transcript when you graduate. You can do apply to do
any subject offered in the university by submitting an e-Request. Note that
subjects assume certain knowledge as specified by pre-requisites - you must
have the necessary prior knowledge. If in doubt, talk with the subject
coordinator.
The Professional Service
Project (PSP) This subject allows you
to gain an appreciation of the voluntary service obligations and
non-financial rewards associated with the achievement of professional
status. You will be encouraged to develop a balanced portfolio of
service activities to meet subject requirements. For this reason restrictions
may be placed on repeating the same service activity. To complete the
requirements of this subject you must undertake one or more service
projects. Full details are available here. The Capstone
Project This is the crowning
glory of your achievement at UTS. You need to prepare well in advance. From
the Capstone Project link
you can navigate to find everything you need to. The
Engineering Practice Program The Bachelor of
Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice has an Internship requirement.
Internships involve a subject done before the work experience, the work
experience itself, and a subject done after the work experience. Find out
more about the program here. If you
started at UTS Autumn, you should enrol in Engineering Practice Preview
1 in Spring as this will keep your options as open as possible for when you
do your first internship should an opportunity. Students are required to
find their own placements, however the Industry Partnering Unit (IPU) assists
students in obtaining internships. The IPU staff maintain contact with
industry, register students' intentions of seeking work experience, advise on
the preparation of resumes and advise on the availability of work
opportunities in Please note that students
who have completed the internship requirement for their course will not
be able to register with the IPU. However, we do encourage students to seek
additional experience independently. Assignment Submission Assignment cover sheets: The Style Guide
for Written Assignments is available and should be followed
by all students. And additional information is included in the Student Guide Faculty student policies Forms and Resources: Note: Many forms are
available on the relevant University page Assignment
Cover Sheet (Distance mode subjects) Forms for capstone
available on the capstone page Assignment style guide Contacting Academic Staff Academics within the
Faculty have a diverse and complex set of responsibilities, including not
only undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, but also research, subject
development, project and research student supervision, administration,
professional development, consulting, etc. Like you, they often find
the need to focus on what they are doing without interruption. We do however
recognise that you have the right to expect academic staff to respond to appropriate
queries in a timely fashion, and be available for consultation. With this in mind, all
academic staff have been asked to provide information, at the beginning of
each subject guide, about their availability. In particular, they will let
you know their LDC and office consulting times, and whether they will respond
to emails and/or phone messages. You should especially note that some staff
may prefer to answer email enquiries, whereas others prefer questions in
person rather than via email and so may not respond to your email enquiries.
In this case however, they will ensure more flexible consulting times
(including times in the late afternoon for part-timers). Free Courses, Free Access to
Journals While ever you are a
student at UTS you can get free full text access to many journals and also
