Kia Ora everyone,
Well it is that time of year again when the vast bunch of brand new engineers embark on their very first assignment as part of the Faculty of Engineering.
The first assignment will be released this week. It is due on Friday 18th March.
The Topic “Engineering Process for the Plastic-contaminated Seafood Problem”
We have provided a number of support channels for the 1200 students enrolled in the programme. Please send them to the ENGR 101 subject guide page in the first instance. https://canterbury.libguides.com/engr/Plastics-in-seafood
- ENGR 101 Subject guide
- A recorded lecture is being released to the ENGR 101 class this week.
- Asklive
- 1-1-Many bookable zoom sessions with Brian or Myself (we have a limited number of slots available).
- During the week of the 14th-18th we are running virtual tutorials about how to start. These run daily at 8:30am and 12:30pm. Each tutorial will run for 30 minutes maximum. They can be booked from the library workshops page.
- On the subject guide there are also quick tutorials on LEARN on How to Start, APA referencing and Multisearch.
For those of you kind souls who assisting on Asklive we expect the number of contacts to increase steadily. Some basic outlining of the assignment FYI.
- Topic: Engineering Process for the Plastic-contaminated Seafood Problem
- Marks: 10% of final grade
- Due: Friday 18th March at 3pm
- Type of Assignment: Technical style engineering report
- Problem Statement: Rapid accumulation of plastic in our oceans has become a global crisis. Microplastics are getting into the food chain of marine animals, and are reaching human bodies through seafood consumption. These microplastics pose potential health risks to human. Seafood, however, will continue to be incorporated into people’s diet due to their nutrition values and people’s dietary preference. The government is required to come up with engineering solution(s) to address the problem
- Word Limit: 1000 (Does NOT include Title Page, References & any Appendices)
- Reference Style: APA 7th. This is marked! A good range of sources, we suggest a minimum of 5.
- Report style: they need to refer to the report guidelines as to how it is set out, margins, spacing, headings etc. It is required to have one Graph that they have created using a spreadsheet and one Table.
