1
Project student’s design/research project proposal is marked by academic supervisor in terms of its suitability for
an academic assessment of proponent’s specialised knowledge and skills at AQF level 9, and originality/novelty/
innovation [AQF13].
2
Suitability here refers to whether the proposal allows assessment of specialised knowledge and skills at AQF level 9.
3
“No‐show” means that the project student does not attempt and/or the work presented is irrelevant.
4
Three categories of engineering design projects are creative design leading to new and innovative products; variant
design to improve performance or to add new features to an existing system; and routine design using well
developed theory and practice for the design. Types of engineering design project may vary and include system
engineering and integration synthesizing subsystems into a larger system, experimental design to design
procedures and apparatus to determine characters of a given system, device, etc., analysis to analyse an existing
system for improvement, and research which is applied research based on existing technology and theory from
fundamental research to discover and/or create a new technology [FC08].
5
Literature and technology review relevant to project work includes fundamental concepts, principles, theories; in‐
depth specialised knowledge leading to the state‐of‐the‐art; benchmark technologies and engineering means; and
supporting evidence/materials for product requirements/needs.
6
The methodology and approach may be described using mathematical representations, system and or component
level diagrams, state diagram, flowchart, state machine, or physical diagram, etc., accompanied by a feasible plan
(e.g., using Gantt chart).

ADDITIONAL NOTES
AQF level 9 summary and learning outcomes criteria [AQF13]
Summary Graduates at this level will have specialised knowledge and skills for research,
and/or professional practice and/or further learning.
Knowledge Graduates at this level will have advanced and integrated understanding of a
complex body of knowledge in one or more disciplines or areas of practice.
Skills Graduates at this level will have expert, specialised cognitive and technical skills
in a body of knowledge or practice to independently:
• analyse critically, reflect on and synthesise complex information, problems,
concepts and theories;
• research and apply established theories to a body of knowledge or practice;
• interpret and transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to specialist and non‐
specialist audiences.
Application of
knowledge
and skills
Graduates at this level will apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate
autonomy, expert judgement, adaptability and responsibility as a practitioner
or learner.
