Is the widening of access to Australian higher education sustainable for the

Australian engineering or information technology professions?

Background

Australia has significantly lowered the standard required for entry to her universities in the

quest for foreign student fees in the face of a capped domestic market. Mass tertiary

education remains a defining feature of the political landscape, with little cognisance given to

the engineering, IT, and sustainability implications of lowered entry standards to our

respective professions.

Task

  Investigate previous attempts to regulate entry standards to professional university

degrees in Australia and their eventual impact.

  Compare these with policy measures enacted in other countries and assess the

desirability of their application to the engineering or information technology

professions in Australia.

  Assess the sustainability implications of lower entry standards to the engineering

and information technology professions from the perspective of one of the following:

civil engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical

engineering, structural engineering, or information technology.

The small print

This is not a task which can be completed simply by looking at the internet. Original

thinking is required, demonstrating sound reasoning and rational argument (including

diagrams, statistics, and calculations as appropriate) to support your conclusions.

Attention is drawn to the University’s policy on plagiarism. Note also that marks will

not be awarded for information taken directly from your references, even if it is

referenced.

The report must be set out as a formal technical report, in .pdf file format, and it will

be marked as such. As an indication, the length requirement for this report is a

maximum of 3,000 words; however, marks will be awarded for quality, not quantity.
