1.2 Who is ECSA?
ECSA is the statutory body for the engineering profession in South Africa which aims at promoting a high level of education and training of practitioners, professionalism in the engineering profession, and interest in the profession in the country that you will register with at some point after you have graduated as a civil engineering Candidate Technician before being a Professional.
1.3 GA assessed: This assessment will be assessing ECSA Graduate Attribute 6: Professional and technical communication - The student is required to demonstrate competence to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with engineering audiences and the community at large.
A Marking Rubric attached in Annexure 1 below will be used to assess your work. A subminimum of 50% must be achieved. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the student being given a second opportunity to redo the work, thereafter, only a maximum of 50% will be recorded, even if achieved more than 50%.
Breakdown of the task to be completed:
Task1: You will be allocated a Learning Unit/topic from the WTE1501 Study Guide, which you must study and report back on what the Learning Unit/topic is about. Your reporting must be in a presentation format and not a typed assignment. The following aspects must be included in your presentation:
1. The heading/topic 2. The objective of the learning unit/topic 3. The principle/law/phenomena found in that topic 4. Equations and when to use them 5. Select any one Numerical Problem (do not present a problem that is already solved or an example) from the Prescribed book, showing step by step how the solution was computed, related to the topic. 6. Conclude on the topic/learning unit. 7. Reference your work. 8. Include pictures, drawings, tables/ any other relevant practical examples if applicable.
1 WTE1501 Assessment 1(10%) Task 2: The second part of the assessment is to present your work on MS Teams to fellow students. Your presentation must not be more than 15 minutes long and not less than 10 minutes long either. You will be allocated a slot to present on MS Teams. Zero mark will be awarded for copying and paste of contents from the study material or any other source. This task is for you to read and summarize comprehensively what you have read about.
Procedure for completing the tasks:
1. Read the contents of this document. 2. Go to the Assessment 1 Portal to see which topic/learning unit you need to report on (see the last page of Assessment 1 Brief). 3. Read the allocated topic in the Study Guide and/or prescribed book if referred to the prescribed book. 4. Compile the presentation (PowerPoint). 5. Upload your presentation as a PDF file (you must still use MS Presentation or the package that you have, but then you must thereafter save it as PDF to upload it). 6. Save your presentation as your First Name and Surname. 7. Thereafter, you will be allocated a slot to present your work. 8. Questions will be asked during the presentations.
Distribution of marks 1. 40% is for putting together the presentation slides. 2. 20% is for attending the presentation sessions as required (to be finalized). Do not login as a guest, set up your MS Teams using your Unisa Student Details. 3. 40% is for presentation.
Important to note: · You cannot present if you did not submit your presentation under the Assessment 1 portal. · Attending only will result in a maximum mark of 20% which is less than 50%. · Know how to share the screen on MS Teams.
You will NOT fail the module if you fail assessment 1 BUT you will be retained if you fail the practical assessment which will also be assessing GA(s). Therefore, this assessment will also help you prepare for the practical assessment.
