Overview

Other courses in the student's program of study engage knowledge and competencies from within particular disciplines. This course expands these studies by challenging the student with a cross disciplinary workplace experience, working effectively and productively with professionals from other disciplines who have different priorities, models and frameworks for conceptualising, managing and solving problems. Complex community issues are the subjects with which teams of students will engage to acquire these skills, while contributing to the understanding of an identified community problem.

Students will work within cross disciplinary project teams consisting of a mix of students, professionals and community members from outside the university. Each team will have a community issue assigned to it. Where possible, this issue will be from an identified community, either within the local area, or from overseas where an international student brings an issue forward. A staff member will facilitate each project team's activities. Students will engage in a series of workshops where they meet as a group and contribute knowledge and competencies from their own experiences and disciplines to critically analyse the components of the issue and define specific challenges, such that further research and consultation can result in a proposed framework for problem solving. Between workshops students will be responsible for researching the issue, consulting with community members personally or electronically, and preparing components of the project report for the team. The deliverable from the course is a report which describes the issue analysis, relevant research and community consultation, and a prospectus on possible management or resolution strategies.
