In order to pass this unit a student must obtain a mark of 50 or more for the unit (i.e. obtain a passing grade P/ CR/ D/ HD). There are no hurdle assessments.

Students enrolled in this unit with all written assessments will have the following university standard late penalty applied. Please see https://students.mq.edu.au/study/assessment-exams/assessments for more information.

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of '0' will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. This is to allow the timely release of assessments to the rest of the class. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11:55 pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern.

For any late submission of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests/exams, and scheduled practical labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.

In this unit, late submissions will accept as follows:

• Assignment and Practical lab report – YES, Standard Late Penalty applies

• Final examination – NO, unless Special Consideration is Granted

All assessments will be graded according to standards set in the marking rubrics. Students will receive a numerical grade for each assessment which will be representative of a fail (0-49%), pass (50-64%), credit (65-74%), distinction (75-84%) or high distinction (85-100%) as defined by the university standards based assessment guidelines. The definitions of these standards will be posted on the iLearn page. All marking rubrics specific to each assessment will be released on the iLearn page indicating requirements to achieve a particular standard. These will be released well in advance of the assessment due date or are specified below.

Assignment (30/100)

This individually marked assignment will assess the student’s ability to understand and apply heat transfer theory learned in lectures to design a functional thermal product. Using principles such as conduction, convection, and insulation, students will develop a product that effectively manages heat transfer. The task emphasizes linking theoretical knowledge to practical design, supported by calculations, analysis, and, if required, prototyping or testing to demonstrate performance.

The assignment will include analytical calculations, system design, and report writing. A detailed rubric will be provided with the assessment handout.

Practical Lab Report (30/100)

One individual lab report written for a practical laboratory session. Attendance of practical classes is MANDATORY before submitting the lab report. Lab report submitted without attending the practical session will get a grade of ‘0’ even if the assessment is submitted by the due date. A special consideration request must be submitted and approved if any student is unable to attend a practical session to organize alternative arrangements. Precise details on time and location will be advised via the iLearn page. Practical lab report will be assessed according to a rubric to be made available on the iLearn page.

Final Examination: (40/100)

A final examination (2h) assessing all material (weeks 1-13) delivered throughout the unit.

Assessment Tasks

There is no single core text for this course. However the following texts are recommended: “Heat Transfer” by J.P. Holman, “Heat and Mass Transfer fundamentals and applications” by Y.A. Cengel, and “A heat transfer textbook” by Leinhard and Leinhard.

3 assessment task are implemented.

Field trip is included.

Unit contents are rescheduled.
