Abstract

An evaluation of assessment of the University of Southern Queensland postgraduate engineering management course ENG8104 Asset Management in an Engineering Environment, which is taught in a number of Faculty of Engineering and Surveying programs, is discussed. This evaluation considers the way in which participants in this course are assessed in relation to the authentic assessment of the sustainable life cycle management of engineering assets. Current assessment is by a mid-semester assignment and an end of semester examination, each worth 50 per cent of marks in the course. The question is raised whether this assessment is an authentic approach to evaluating whether learners both understand the course material and can apply it in a way that meets current and emerging professional engineering requirements.
