LO-1
• Student showed strong ability to select an appropriate engineering-based project, giving reasons for the
selection as evidenced by their problem definition tool, literature review, and stakeholders’ analysis.
• Student showed strong ability to create a project plan for the engineering project as evidenced by their BoM,
WBS and time-phased budget, and work plan.
• Student showed strong ability to undertake a feasibility study to justify project selection as evidenced by their
feasibility study discussion and components.
• Student showed weak ability to illustrate the effect of legislation and ethics in developing the project plan as
evidenced by their discussion of different regulations and ethics section.
LO-2
• Student showed strong ability to conduct project for improvements activities, recording progress against
original project plan as evidenced by their meetings entries.
• Student showed weak ability to explore alternative methods to monitor and meet project milestones, justify
selection of chosen method(s) as evidenced by their Gantt chart, PERT chart, and objective tree analysis and
justification.
• Student showed weak ability to critically evaluate the success of the project plan making recommendations as
evidenced by their KPIs.
