Responses will be measured and ranked by how well they;
1. demonstrate connections between various aspects of complexity (beyond
definitions of terms)
2. demonstrate systems-level thinking / frameworks of knowledge
3. demonstrate the use of visual communications to support concepts.
4. demonstrate the creative development of the supplied shape.

PowerPoint Presentation Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly Assignment 3 Summary: AIM = to synthesise how aspects of complexity may relate to each other. Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly • … we are going to use a fictitious ‘Client’ as a way of formulating your thoughts about complexity. • Q: Why use a ‘fictitious’ Client for this Assessment..? • … echoes of professional practice • … it displaces our focus away from ourselves. • … it implies a structure/format to our thoughts Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly • Q:… remember the various diagrams we have been exploring…? • … Assessment 3 allows us to think about how these may relate to each other.. Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly • So lets introduce our ‘Client’…… TetraHedra Consulting • TetraHedra* is a National Engineering Company that specialises in innovative solutions to complex projects. • They are looking to open an office in the Hunter Valley • .. so they are recruiting to extend their current team of engineers and consultants. • .. this is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that have a proven record of making a positive change in the world. (*) - TetraHedra is a fictional company used for this assessment Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly • So lets introduce our ‘Client’…… TetraHedra Consulting • Typical for TetraHedra, they have taken an unusual approach to sorting the ‘best and brightest people’ for their new team • .. they have set a ‘simple’ challenge for all applicants to complete. • .. how applicants utilise this (seemingly simple) information, will determine if they are considered for a permanent position in the team. • For us, Assessment 3 will take the form of your response to this challenge. • (Note: for the sake of this assessment, assume that you REALLY want this job) Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly The TetraHedra Challenge: • Below is the developed shape for a solid. “How can you use this ‘starting point’ to demonstrate both; your knowledge of complexity + your creativity as an engineer..?” Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly The TetraHedra Challenge: “How can you use this ‘starting point’ to demonstrate both; your knowledge of complexity and your creativity as an engineer..?” • Responses will be measured and ranked by how well they; 1. demonstrate connections between various aspects of complexity (beyond definitions of terms) 2. demonstrate systems-level thinking / frameworks of knowledge 3. demonstrate the use of visual communications to support concepts. 4. demonstrate the creative development of the supplied shape. • Note: Applicants are free to; utilise any part or all of this shape, use any combinations or derivatives of this shape. Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly The TetraHedra Challenge: “How can you use this ‘starting point’ to demonstrate both; your knowledge of complexity and your creativity as an engineer..?” • Responses will be measured and ranked by how well they; • Responses must be in one of the two following formats (NOT both): 1. A Youtube video demonstrating your response – (maximum length 4 minutes) OR 2. A pdf document using text and diagrams – (maximum of 600 words over 3 pages) • (Note: text within diagrams are not part of the word count). • … a template file is available if you want to use it… Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly The TetraHedra Challenge: “How can you use this ‘starting point’ to demonstrate both; your knowledge of complexity and your creativity as an engineer..?” Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly • Q: What do we need to do..? a. Determine which aspects of Complexity you understand are important. b. Decide how many of those aspects you will include. c. Articulate how these aspects may connect or relate to each other. d. Map/diagram how these connections could be communicated to someone else. e. Creatively utilise the supplied shape to communicate those connections. f. Decide on which format (video or document) to communicate your thoughts. Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly Assignment 3 Summary: “To synthesise how aspects of complexity may relate to each other.” • What = respond to the Clients challenge question. • How = electronic submission via CANVAS • Format = Youtube OR pdf document only…. • … there is a template file for written responses • .. please do not ‘zip’ the submissions • Submission name = [your name, student number]_Assess 3 • eg “Warren Reilly 1234567_Assess 3” • Alternatively for those needing privacy, “Warren” and last 4 numbers of your student number eg. “Warren4321_Assess 3” • When = due 11.59pm 23 October 2022 Prepared by; Warren A. Reilly Assignment 3 – checklist. Assessment 3 – checklist before submitting. Content Have I considered the two different aspects (knowledge/creativity)..? Have I clearly explained how to read my model in a way the Client can follow? Have I considered the connections between the aspects of complexity I have included? Have I avoided definitions of terms? Delivery Have I pushed myself to ‘use’ their shape in novel and appropriate ways? Have I kept within the time/word limits? Is the file named appropriately (student name, assessment etc)…? Is it in the correct format..? Time Have I submitted my files before 11.59pm 23/10/2022..? ENGG4500/6500 Engineering Complexity 2022 – Assessment 3 Template ENGG45/6500 Student
