Summary of the Course

Students will be introduced to the central concepts of energy and sustainability with a particular focus on
sustainable energy systems. Energy efficiency will be introduced as an effective way in which to
conserve our natural fuel reserves and reduce environmental damage in a cost-effective way. This
course will also introduce students to a range of renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaics,
wind generators and solar thermal and allow them to explore ways in which these technologies and
energy efficiency can be used to improve the sustainability of electrical power systems. Finally, students
will attempt to address the challenges involved in balancing between energy security (ability to meet
demand), energy equity (affordability), and environmental sustainability in the design of an energy
infrastructure for a community.

Course Aims

The course aims to introduce:

The concept of sustainability and increase awareness of the different sustainability indicators and
the challenges imposed by climate change and natural resource reserves.
The concept of energy, energy conversion, and energy efficiency.
A range of renewable energy technologies and develop an understanding in students of how
these technologies can be used to improve the sustainability of electrical power systems.
Expose students to the challenges involved in balancing between energy security (ability to meet
demand), energy equity (affordability) and environmental sustainability in the design of an energy
infrastructure for a community.

SOLA1070 is a 1st year course in the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering. It is a
recommended elective for the Photovoltaics & Solar Energy and Renewable Energy Streams.

This course is an introductory course. More details on the topics covered are given in SOLA2450,
SOLA5053, SOLA5057, SOLA3010, and MECH9720.

Course Evaluation and Development

Feedback on the course is gathered periodically using various means, including the UNSW
myExperience process, informal discussion in the final class for the course, and the School’s
Student/Staff meetings. Your feedback is taken seriously, and continual improvements are made to the
course based, in part, on such feedback.

In this course, recent improvements resulting from student feedback include:

1. Slides updated with colour-coded backgrounds to identify examinable material
2. Increased the number of worked examples
3. Lecture notes available prior to lectures
4. Large number of practice questions will be supplied towards the end of the term5.
5. Increased the level of “peer-learning” by having dedicated Microsoft Teams channels

Submission of Assessment Tasks

Work submitted late without an approved extension by the course coordinator or delegated authority is
subject to a late penalty of 30 percent (30%) mark reduction on the first day and an additional 5% per
day thereafter, consistent with other SPREE courses.

The late penalty is applied per calendar day (including weekends and public holidays) that the
assessment is overdue. There is no pro-rata of the late penalty for submissions made part way through a
day.

Work submitted after the ‘deadline for absolute fail’ is not accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded
for that assessment item.

For some assessment items, a late penalty may not be appropriate. These are clearly indicated in the
course outline, and such assessments receive a mark of zero if not completed by the specified date.
Examples include:

a. Weekly online tests or laboratory work worth a small proportion of the subject mark, or

b. Online quizzes where answers are released to students on completion, or

c. Professional assessment tasks, where the intention is to create an authentic assessment that has an
absolute submission date

or

d. Pass/Fail assessment tasks.

Academic Honesty and Plagiarism

UNSW has an ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of learning informed by academic integrity. All
UNSW students have a responsibility to adhere to this principle of academic integrity. Plagiarism
undermines academic integrity and is not tolerated at UNSW. Plagiarism at UNSW is defined as using
the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your own.

Plagiarism is a type of intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally
copying from a source without acknowledgement. UNSW has produced a website with a wealth of
resources to support students to understand and avoid plagiarism, visit: student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism.
The Learning Centre assists students with understanding academic integrity and how not to plagiarise.
They also hold workshops and can help students one-on-one.

You are also reminded that careful time management is an important part of study and one of the
identified causes of plagiarism is poor time management. Students should allow sufficient time for
research, drafting and the proper referencing of sources in preparing all assessment tasks.

If plagiarism is found in your work when you are in first year, your lecturer will offer you assistance to
improve your academic skills. They may ask you to look at some online resources, attend the Learning
Centre, or sometimes resubmit your work with the problem fixed. However more serious instances in first
year, such as stealing another student’s work or paying someone to do your work, may be investigated
under the Student Misconduct Procedures.

Repeated plagiarism (even in first year), plagiarism after first year, or serious instances, may also be
investigated under the Student Misconduct Procedures. The penalties under the procedures can include
a reduction in marks, failing a course or for the most serious matters (like plagiarism in an honours
thesis) even suspension from the university. The Student Misconduct Procedures are available here:
