ANU Solar Racing
Project (Doing KNoTs)
Good to Know:
Students complete a project of at least 20 hours (2 points).
Find out more about Doing KNoTs.
The SoCIETIE Initiative encourages students in ANU Solar Racing to count their project time towards this for-credit course. Students may also complete the course without credit (or cost) to receive a certificate of completion.
See the ANU Solar Racing Doing KNoT for a full description of how the project can count towards this course.
Knowing and Being KNoTs
Good to Know:
Students complete at least 2 points of Knowing and Being KNoTs.
Find out more about Knowing and Being KNoTs.
In addition to the Projects, students supplement this time with our program of Knowing and Being KNoTs. These may include KNoTs that are undertaken within the team, such as training, development or teaching others about a topic.
Where there is sufficient interest, specific KNoTs will be developed for the ANU Solar Racing team.
Students might like to take Knowing KNoTs broadly related to the Enabling Technology thread.
Students might like to take Being KNoTs broadly related to developing skills that translate the positive social value of the project.Assessment
Good to Know:
Students submit two main assessment tasks, KNoT Completion and a Learning Portfolio.
There are additional opportunities for feedback along the way.
The ANU Solar Racing Doing KNoT outlines advice for the KNoT Completion Evidence.
Learning Portfolio
We suggest that students completing the ANU Solar Car project select one of the following options:
- Professional portfolio: a professional, polished artefact that conveys the key outputs of your contribution to the ANU Solar Car project, where the audience may be a future employer.
- Handover portfolio: a handover document that shares the design, processes, and other useful information about your or your team’s contribution to the ANU Solar Car project, where the audience may be a future team
- Research portfolio: a final artefact that outlines a research-informed analysis of an aspect of the project (ie abstract, hypothesis, background, results, conclusion) where the audience may be a researcher or potential supervisor.
- Reflection portfolio: a coherent reflection on your contribution to and experience of participating in the Solar Car project, where the audience may be a future student or your former self, etc.
