The document discusses group work and peer assessment in engineering education. It describes how group work is used to simulate real-world experiences and allow students to practice skills like project management. Peer assessment involves students rating their own and others' contributions to determine an individual "peer moderation factor" to adjust group marks based on individual contributions. The use of group work increases in complexity from short introductory activities in year 1 to formal capstone industry projects in years 3 and 4. Peer assessment aims to allow individual contributions to group work to be recognized and rewarded.
