ENG5200 · Engineering project risk management

Overview

In this unit, the concepts of risk in engineering projects will be explored and a critical understanding of the principles and processes of systematic risk management will be developed. You will learn the state-of-the-practice and latest research advancements in qualitative and quantitative risk assessment. At the end of this unit, you will be able to identify, analyse, treat and control relevant risks to engineering projects.

Assessment

The Handbook lists an examination for this unit.

Continuous assessment: 40% Final assessment: 60% This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.

Assessment details may change. Please refer to the assessment information in Moodle closer to the start of the teaching period.
