Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this course, students will be able to:
1 Understand the ongoing role of combustion, both of fossil and bio-fuels, in providing a more
sustainable energy source for society, and the environmental challenges to be met to achieve this;2 Have a sound understanding of the principles of combustion; 3 Understand the complexities of industrial combustion processes, 4 Have a basic understanding of the mechanisms of combustion generated air pollution and the
techniques that can be used to control them;5 Have a basic understanding of the complementary roles of measurements, modelling and scaling in understanding combustion, and in solving industrial problems; 6 Have a basic understanding of the safety and handling issues associated with combustion; 7 Be aware of the impact of different fuel properties on industrial combustion systems; 8 Have a sound understanding of the responsibility of engineers to the community in terms of providing a safe healthy environment; 9 Understand the need for lifelong learning.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.
The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
