If you have any items/issues for the T&L committee please send an email to the secretary.

Grade Distributions

Grade Distribution graphs are accumulative. For example, on the Semester 2, 2012 ENGG1400 ​graph, the percentage of students that obtained a grade of 5 is approximately 30 (point on graph) minus the accumulative of grade 7 and 6 (approx 18) equals approximately 12% of the class.

• 2012 - Semester 1, Semester 2
• 2013 - Semester 1, Semester 2
• 2014 - Semester 1, Semester 2
• 2015 - Semester 1, Semester 2
• 2016 - Semester 1

Teaching and Learning Strategic Grant

Enabling Visible and Effective Learning in Engineering

The University of Queensland’s School of Civil Engineering is currently co-sponsoring a teaching and learning strategic grant with the School of Mechanical & Mining Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Information Technology.  Entitled “Enabling Visible and Effective Learning in Engineering,” this collaborative project has two main focus areas:

• Metalearning – Making learning behaviours visible for students so they can take ownership of their own learning
• Threshold concepts – Identifying concepts within courses that students must first understand so they can apply that knowledge to address more advanced, application-based, end-goal concepts of a course and adjusting curricula, pedagogy, and assessments accordingly.

Please direct any queries related to the project to Dr Julie McCredden, Postdoctoral Fellow in Engineering Education, at jeannette@uq.edu.au.
