STEM Course

This course has not been adjusted for remote participation in Sem 1 2021. Students must attend on-campus activities to complete the course.

Applied Cybernetics Professional Experience Placement gives the student exposure to applying approaches and skills learned in CECS6001, CECS6002, and CECS8001 in a professional environment. Students will be embedded within an industry, community, government, start-up or academic organisation as a practitioner of Applied Cybernetics to contribute to a project related to cybernetic systems.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

Provide direct insight into the professional practice of Applied Cybernetics
Describe and interpret the main responsibilities of a practitioner of Applied Cybernetics
Advocate for a cybernetics approach to systems as a practitioner of Applied Cybernetics
Synthesise the main working modes of a practitioner of Applied Cybernetics, such as framing questions, analysing data, applying a systems-level approach, communication skills, and teamwork practices.

Work Integrated Learning

Fieldwork

This course provides students with work-based experience of the conceptual and practical approaches of Applied Cybernetics. They will become practitioners of Applied Cybernetics who can carefully examine new and emerging technological systems, the building blocks they are made from, and the questions they raise for human society and our ecosystems.

Indicative Assessment

Report (100) [LO 1,2,3,4]

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students.
