This subject has been designed with the aim of providing a platform for an online learning experience. This subject is not just about how to manage a typical project in engineering. It is about managing a web-based (remote) project using UTSOnline facilities throughout the semester.

Students are required to form project teams and work independently with minimum face-to-face contact or supervision. This subject encourages students to be creative and independent from the traditional form of study, and actively contribute to subject delivery by participating in group work. Furthermore, it changes the instructor's role from lecturer to facilitator.

The subject consists of online group discussions, peer assessments, freedom in selection of topics and learning sources, and group and individual assignments. Communication and subject-relevant information are made available through UTSOnline. Regular visits to the subject webpages on UTSOnline are highly recommended.

Assessment: Group assignment (65 per cent), individual assignment (20 per cent), online participation (15 per cent).
