Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisites: ENMM20023, ENMM20025, ENMM20029 & ENMM20024
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Have your say survey
The lecturer engaged student throughout the lectures to discuss thoughts, ideas and learning outcomes. The feedback was helpful from the presentation.
It’s encouraging to hear that the student felt the lectures were interactive and supportive of reflective thinking. We will continue to use this approach, particularly through guided discussions and mid-lecture reflection points, to keep the experience engaging and student-centered.
Feedback from Teaching team observation
Add case study examples to the learning material.
The recommendation to include case study examples is a valuable one. The current version of the unit does not incorporate structured case studies. For future offerings, we plan to identify and integrate case study materials that align with the course topics, allowing students to better visualise and analyse asset maturity models in practice.

AI Assessment Scale - Student Instruction
AI PLANNING
You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas.
Guidelines
Al may be used for pre-task activities such as brainstorming, outlining and initial research. You may use AI-assisted automatic speech recognition to transcribe notes, AI tools to convert notes into outlines, and AI tools to brainstorm or suggest improvements to already created work. Image generation technologies might be used to generate starting points for designs or tools used to explore possibilities for producing software. You must then use the AI-generated ideas as the starting point and apply your skills and knowledge to refine and improve the initial ideas to the final submission. No GenAI-created content without changes should be included in the final submissions. You need to briefly describe how AI tools were used during the planning, research and initial idea-generation stage of the assessment.
You must specify which questions of the assessment where AI help was included.
Example (provide the following details on each assessment submission document - after the Cover page, before Table of Content):
Assessment 1 Question 3 - I used AI to develop a structure for IAM's Maturity Model responses
Assessment 2 Question 1 - I used AI to define skills, knowledge and capabilities statements
Assessment 3 Question 2 - I used AI to generate recommendations for maturity assessment activities
1 Written Assessment
- Assessment 1 (30%) – will cover lectures 1 – 6
- You will be assessed on your knowledge and understanding of maturity model stages, United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how to achieve asset management maturity
- Detailed assessment and marking rubric information will be available in Moodle from Week 1.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
