SECTION I: MATTERS FOR DEBATE AND DECISION

14.0 BACHELOR DEGREE (AQF LEVEL 7) POLICY

14.1 The new Griffith Academic Plan has as one of its goals the development of

graduates who are successful and influential. This goal is to be achieved at the bachelor degree level by providing students with a distinctive curriculum supported by experiential and broadening learning experiences. Attached for the information of the Committee is the document Successful and Influential Graduates: The Griffith Experience (2013/0007078).

14.2 Revisions to the Bachelor Degree Policy are proposed in order to implement

the aforementioned Griffith Experience proposal and to align the University’s policy with the AQF Bachelor degree learning outcomes descriptor. A revised Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7) Policy (2013/0006536) in a marked up and clean format is attached for consideration. The major changes to the policy include: - revised definitions for qualification types;



___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


- AQF Level 7 Bachelor Degree Learning Outcomes; - program requirements consistent with recently approved changes to

The Structure and Requirements of Qualifications at Griffith University; - new provisions related to the Griffith Experience; - a definition for designated courses; - new provisions relating to Award Majors on the Testamur and awarding

the degree with distinction; - specification of the research component in the Bachelor degree and the

Bachelor with Honours Degree; - additional degree requirements and changed transition arrangements; - revisions to the provisions related to the Bachelor Degree with Honours;

and - revisions to the credit provisions.

A discussion paper is attached providing the changes to the Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7) Policy in further detail.

Recommendation

14.3 The SEET Group Board is asked to consider the revisions to the Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7) Policy, as detailed in 2013/0006536, and provide feedback to Programs Committee.

For consideration

15.0 GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION OF JUSTIFICATION OF RESEARCH COMPONENTS IN MASTERS (COURSEWORK, RESEARCH, EXTENDED) AND BACHELORS WITH HONOURS

15.1 On 7 August the AQF working party endorsed the attached guidelines:

Guidelines for Presentation of Justification of Research Components in Masters (Coursework, Research, Extended) and Bachelors with Honours

15.2 These guidelines advise that an overview of the substantial piece of research

should be documented in program proposals for Masters (Coursework, Research, Extended) and Bachelors with Honours, whether the research is located in discrete courses or across multiple courses.

15.3 The guidelines advise that where the plan and execution of a substantial piece

of research is over multiple courses, an overview of how the research is incorporated is best captured in a table. This document is listed on the AQF sharepoint site and can be distributed to relevant program convenors.

Recommendation

15.4 The SEET Group Board is asked to consider these guidelines when reviewing Masters and Bachelors with Honours program proposals for AQF compliance.

For consideration

16.0 GUIDE FOR THE RESEARCH COMPONENTS IN AQF LEVEL 8-10

16.1 The Chair of Programs Committee has forwarded the attached progression table for the research components in AQF level 8-10 qualifications which can be used as guidance for preparation of program proposals for AQF compliance. Feedback on this table is invited as it will be used to inform the writing of the relevant policies



___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Recommendation

14.3 The SEET Group Board is asked to consider the attached progression table for the research components in AQF level 8-10 qualifications and provide feedback to Programs Committee.

For consideration 17.0 ENG NEW PROGRAM PROPOSAL (2013/0006052)

BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING WITH HONOURS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING 17.1 On the recommendation of the Dean (Learning and Teaching), the Group

Board is asked to consider the attached revised new program proposal (2013/0006052) proposing the introduction of the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Civil Engineering in semester 1 2015.

17.2 Members will recall that the 5/2013 (19 July) meeting of the SEET Group

Board recommended the program proposal to Programs Committee following clarification of the proposed schema for honours. The proposal did not proceed to Programs Committee due to concerns about the non-award of Honours at classification III, as well as concerns about the proposed program nomenclature and exit strategy for students unable to satisfy the requirements for an Honours classification.

17.3 The following changes are proposed to meet AQF Level 8 compliance:

• Nomenclature - the proposed program and award title is Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Civil Engineering

• Honours classification – the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours will be awarded with Class I, IIA, IIB and III . Students who achieve <50% for Honours will graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering Technology. Honours will be awarded on the basis of performance in the final two years of the program, with Year 3 courses contributing 33.3% and Year 4 courses contributing 66.7%. The class of Honours to be awarded will be determined on the basis of the Honours weighted GPA. The Honours weighted GPA will be determined by combining the grade awarded for each coursework course and the thesis with their weighted credit point value, where the weighting factor is 1 for a Year 3 course and 2 for a Year 4 course. The following cut-offs for Honours classifications will apply:

Class of Honours I IIA IIB III

Overall HWGPA Range 6-7 5.5-5.99 5-5.49 4-4.99

Minimum Thesis Mark 75% 50% 50% 50%

Students achieving a standard below that required for Class III Honours will not be awarded the degree, but will exit to the Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree.

• The degree requirements stipulate the requirements for progression in the

program which is a minimum GPA of 4.0 at the end of Year 2 and Year 3. Students not meeting this requirement will be eligible to transfer to the AQF level 7 program Bachelor of Engineering Technology with full credit. Exit into the Bachelor of Engineering Technology at the end of Year 2 will require completion of courses to satisfy degree requirements.



___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Recommendation

17.4 On the recommendation of the Dean (Learning and Teaching), the Group Board is asked to recommend to Programs Committee the proposal to establish the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Civil Engineering, as detailed in (2013/0006052), for introduction in semester 1 2015.
