PASS Sessions:
In addition to tutorials there will be PASS sessions:
‾ In these sessions, students work together to revise content and
strengthen study skills in a relaxed and friendly environment.
‾ So, if you're struggling with some teaching material, need help with
your quiz/test, or simply keen to know more, consider going to a PASS
session.
‾ Sessions will start from Week 2
‾ Session times and venues as per the timetable

Engineering Statics
Questions and consultation:
‾ You are encouraged to ask questions during tutorials/workshops(and
there’s no limit on the number of questions you can ask!)
‾ If the lecture is in person, feel free to raise your hand if you
have any questions.
‾ You can also post questions on the discussion boards in MyLO.
‾ Please contact the lecturer if you need a consultation time. It will
be limited to 1.5 hours per week ONLY!

Assessment: Student Engagement Activates (SEA)
SEA are designed to monitor and support students that might be
struggling to meet the minimum expectations of this unit.
‾ All students are required to complete 2 SEA at the beginning of the
semester,
‾ Students who fail to meet these expectations will be contacted by
student support officers,
‾ SEA 1: is simply a yes/no question which gives links to support
services.

Conceptual Design and Communication
Assessment: SEA1
SEA 1: is simply a yes/no question which gives links to support services.
This activity is due on WEEK 1.
To access SEA1:
1. go to unit home in MyLO,
2. Click on the Assessment \ Quizzes tab
3. You will be directed to the Quiz List page
4. Click in Student Engagement Task 1
5. Complete and submit the activity
6. You will then be granted access to the Learning Hub

Conceptual Design and Communication
Assessment: SEA2
SEA 2: In this activity you’ll need to submit a photo of a real-life rigid
body(ies). The photo must be labelled to show the vectors acting on the
rigid body(ies)
This Activity will be made available on the start of Week 2 and is due by
the end of WEEK 2.
Don’t panic! Examples will be given by the lecturer.
