Field or discipline: Nutrition
Program: Food Science and Technology
Course: Nutrition
Year level: 2
Class size: 12
Activity type: Tutorial and Computer-based practical class
Description: Students were provided with a food diary and asked to record all food and drink consumed over a three-day period. At the next tutorial, one student volunteered their diary and I analysed this using professionally-relevant software for nutritional analysis (macro and micro nutrient analysis). All students were able to observe input of data and subsequent analysis via the data projection system. After I completed the demonstration data input and analysis, we were able to discuss the implications (nutritional and health) of the diet, and together discuss alternatives to improve the quality of the diet. Students were then able to analyse their own food diaries in the computer labs (with my assistance) and duly suggest improvements to their own diets.

STELLA Simulations
Your name: DASI Systems engineering group; Contact Shraga Shoval
Field or discipline: Engineering
Program: Systems engineering
Course: Systems Engineering
Year level: 2
Class size: 20
Activity type: Practice-based learning; using simulation software
Description: Students are asked to model a complex system of their choice (airport, nuclear power station) using STELLA software. Once modelled, they then investigate the behaviour of the model and draw conclusions based on the simulations within STELLA. Students then submit of 1500 word assignment and TellUs2 feedback form. The benefits include allowing students to develop holistic approach to engineering which gives students an appreciation of complex systems and a multidisciplinary view. Various systems thinking tools and techniques are utilised.
Application: STELLA can be used to help students understand the complex systems that they need to operate in. Perhaps the students using STELLA in this course can create models of complex systems in other disciplines.
