You should bring a print out of the problems or opportunities you identified to your tutorial session. Requirements: Your report shall be written for engineering colleagues.  The tone, language and content should be suitable for this audience. The report may be written as dot points or paragraphs as long as the information is clear and easily read.  Give consideration to the presentation and structure of the report. As a guide the report should be 4 pages long: one page describing aged care, one page for assistive technology and one page each for the problems or opportunities identified.  Brevity is encouraged! You may include additional information in appendices (e.g. any sketches or examples of existing technology etc.). Your report should include a cover sheet that includes you name, student number, tutorial number and your tutor’s name.  A template can be found below.   You are required to use your judgement in finding information (and use sources in addition to the ones supplied to you).  Sources should be Current, Reliable and Relevant, Authoritative and suitable for the Audience, as well as suitable for your Purpose (an acronym you encountered in Engineering Communication). All sources of information should be referenced correctly using the Harvard UTS style.  A guide can be found on the UTS library website (here). DISCOVERY: Marking Guide DISCOVERY INDIVIDUAL PROJECT CONTEXT REPORT WEIGHT This report demonstrates an understanding of the aged care sector in Australia Information is current, relevant, suitable for the audience   Information is comprehensive (gives a suitable overview of the sector at a high level) 20% This report demonstrates an understanding of the Assistive Technology and its application in the aged care sector in Australia Information is current, relevant, suitable for the audience   Information is comprehensive (gives a suitable overview at a high level) 20% This report identifies at least two problems or opportunities that may be addressed with assistive technology The problem or opportunity is clearly described The reason for identifying this as a problem or opportunity is well justified The problem or opportunity has the potential to be addressed with assistive technology Current solutions to address the problem is identified Possible new solutions (at a high level) are identified 40% Information is suitably communicated Language, spelling and grammar are correct and suitable for the audience The structure of the report is clear and easy to follow All required “cover sheet” information is included All sources are referenced using Harvard UTS style 20% Assistive Technology for Aged Care For this project you will be required to do your own discovery for "aged care" and "assisstive technology" in Australia.  A quick search online gives much information about the sector so there are a number of sources available to you that will help define what classifies as assistive technology and what the issues facing the aged and their carers are. As a first step, take a look at the following sites and resources.  These should be a starting point for your research and not the only sources of information you access.  Assistive Technology Australia:  https://at-aust.org/home/who_we_are/who_we_are My Aged Care:  https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/ LifeTec:  https://lifetec.org.au/my-aged-care/ Examples of Assistive Technology for the Aged:  https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/rehabtech/conditioninfo/device An excellent source of information would be the aged themselves and their carers.  If you have someone you can ask question to about the challenges they face, or problems they need to be solved, this would be valuable information for you and your team.
