Assignment instructions
Write a 1200-word reflective evaluation investigating the history of the treatment of
Indigenous Australians over the last century. How do you think this history should impact
upon the ethical practice of engineering? How would this influence you in communicating
with Aboriginal communities and representatives as an engineer?
Students can refer to the materials in Module 9 under the Literacy S******s tab in Blackboard
and supplement this with their own research.
This offers an opportunity for critical self-review and performance evaluation against
appropriate criteria as a primary means of tracking personal development needs and
achievements. This is consistent with the Engineers Australia’s Stage 1 Competency
Standard for Professional Engineers.
