Engineering Across Cultures Research Database (EAC-R)

Team: Sara Altalyan, Robert Tester, Joseph Bunworth

Client: Tom Goldfinch and Ellysebeth Leigh

EAC-R Database project is a project that aims to design and construct a way of providing a single point of access to a wide range of resources about Aboriginal Engineering. This project is one of the major projects that are funded by the Commonwealth government’ Office of Learning and Teaching. The important reasons for this project’ aim is because the Australian Aboriginal cultures used a very strong engineering knowledge to manage the landscape which means to provide themselves with a healthy, safe and productive environment. However, the Aboriginal Engineering concept is not really obvious which it is such a major issue because it has been documented in a weak way. Therefore, the real business case issues of this project is referring to the lack of providing some innovative methods to reveal the resources regarding Aboriginal Engineering to other communities including students and academics in order to gain the idea of Aboriginal Engineering that indicates the principals and practices of the Aboriginal society.

Client: UOW Enterprises / Alison Freeman

Our team was tasked with improving the current process in which our client sources, collects, stores, interprets and reports their organisations suite of KPIs. To address this issue we employed a number of sophisticated techniques to break down the issue into modular areas of focus into order to facilitate a more holistic approach to a solution; Data/Information Analysis, Application build, Error correction within current data framework and a Training package. It was necessary to balance a mix of organisational needs, wants, budget, risk appetite and project scope requirements to produce a product that would be adopted, engaged and utilised by all stakeholders and users across the organisation.

The end result of our project produced a comprehensive suite of data definitions, reporting channels, KPI roles, & component’s; a viable platform agnostic dashboard system that facilitates KPI element entry, houses historical data and performs live trend analysis; transformed current COOGNOS data point elements into more meaningful data; lastly a comprehensive training package and manuals that will allow smooth transition of roles and ensure business continuity.

Westpac Technology Career Pathing Portal

Team: Timothy Alexander Cornish, Thomas William Llewelyn, Jackson Oberg, Madisson Holly Spanhel

Client: Westpac

BatLan has developed a web-based platform for Westpac. Due to drivers such as disruptive technologies; savvy customer expectations; changing workforce demographics and emerging skill requirements, greater focus is needed to develop an agile and innovative approach to managing their workforce.

Currently, individual team members do not understand their role and how its outputs contribute to the Westpac strategy. Career pathways across the Technology job family are poorly defined, incomplete and unusable resulting in team members not understanding their internal career options and often seeking an external move to advance their career. Taking the newly defined roles and capabilities as input, this project will deliver an engaging and informative technology career pathing portal.

WATTLE Project

Team: Rory Chatterton, Hannah Rose Davidson, Shannon Kotey, Filip Maravic, Samuel Worne

Client: Wattle

Universities lack a formalised framework in which to Peer Review Educational Practice (PREP); a system in which to capture the complexities of the curriculum structuring, preparation and management that underpin best practice academic teachings. The introduction of such a system would improve teaching methodologies and assist in the collection of evidence for appraisal, leading to scholarships and promotions. The implementation of CircularMotion’s system will foster high standards of teaching through the recognition of teaching excellence; promoting best teaching practice across university staff and highlighting peers of outstanding quality.

CircularMotion’s system is built in the cloud, harnessing Amazon Web Services and is built upon the agile Django Python Web Framework. It is responsive across multiple device form factors, highly scalable and provides significant productivity increases for a process normally facilitated through hundreds of emails and phone calls.
