Foreword Welcome to the Wellington Institute of Technology's (WelTec) Annual Research Report. This is the seventh formal report of our research and technology development activities. The 2013 Annual Research Report provides an insight into the diverse areas of our research and development activities and includes three profiles of our teaching and learning advisory staff and their fascinating areas of research, as well as the significant contribution that three of our students make to our research and development. This research report is also a record of the publications, achievements, and recognition of our staff and represents the extensive range of research areas, and professions and industries they are involved in. I am particularly proud of the staff who are nearing the end of their journey towards higher qualifications, whether they are striving towards a PhD or a Masters. A number of our staff have just started out, and to them, I wish them all the best for their journey which, at the end, can only be rewarding. The benefit to themselves, their students and their peers, is significant in terms of teaching and the development of their careers. By setting high standards, this can only be of benefit to the research culture at WelTec.

Building our research capability and capacity will continue to contribute to our desire for excellence, which includes participation in the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF). This report comes after the release of the results of our first participation in 2012 which has enabled us to benchmark ourselves within the Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (ITP) sector. I am delighted to see the institute positioned mid-table among ITPs which can only augur well for the future. Much of our research activity in 2013 is related to the areas we teach, and to increasing the productivity of local and national businesses. Collaboration was also a feature for 2013, not only among our staff, but with other Metro ITPs, with our strategic partner, Whitireia, and outside the sector. I am pleased to present the research and development achievements for WelTec for 2013, and hope that you are enlightened by the activities of our staff and students, and I look forward to continuing this success in 2014.

Introduction Research endeavours at WelTec represent a rich and diverse range of activities which make valuable contributions to business and industry, wider society and the communities that the Institute serves. One particular focus of the research conducted at WelTec is to inform the teaching of the degrees that we offer. Across a broader spectrum of research and development activities, we also aim to address the needs of industry and professions by providing clever technology transfer, problem solving and innovation. In this report you will see evidence of the Institute’s involvement across all of these areas. WelTec is now a participant in the Tertiary Education Commission’s Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF). The work that our staff have done to participate in the Quality Evaluation is now well reflected in the outcomes from the funding round. Not only do our researchers benefit from the funding outcomes but the Institute is also able to benefit from the external research and development activity that is income generating. This is an important development in building our research and development capability and capacity, and positions us well for the next funding round in 2018. Collaboration was a key feature of our research and development activity in 2013. With our Metro partner institutes we hosted the ITP Technology Transfer Symposium in Wellington in July. The symposium was accompanied by an Industry Showcase event which allowed Metro institutes to present to a wide group of stakeholders, the research and development work they are doing with New Zealand industry

Valuing Learning Helping students to succeed and get the most out of their studies is the focus for Mervyn Protheroe and Fiona Breen in their role as WelTec Learning Advisors. They are certain that learning advisors play an important role in a student’s success. Nothing makes them happier than hearing, “I got an A for my assignment”, from a student who has received academic advice. In 2013, they began a study to quantify the effectiveness of the work of Learning Advisors by comparing the retention, success and final grades of students who had received learning support against those students who did not use their services. Their initial findings show that students studying at higher levels, using learning advisory services had fewer appointments than those studying at lower levels, and yet achieved greater success than those at lower level students. Mervyn says, “As Learning Advisors, we help students complete their assignments and theory-based course work by giving them strategies to use. The advice we give can be as simple as talking to them about time management and planning their work, or as complex as helping them to understand assignment requirements and clarifying the questions.” Mervyn has been a Learning Advisor at WelTec for the last 14 years, initially providing learning advice across all subject areas. Latterly, he has been providing specialist advice for information technology, engineering and mathematics students. During this time he completed his doctorate investigating how students seek help and developed recommendations to help learning advisors in their roles. He recommends that Learning Advisors emphasise to students that seeking help is not unusual and is a legitimate approach to improving their achievement. It is important that students who seek help are not viewed negatively. Mervyn’s doctoral research has helped him and his colleagues advise students in new and more effective ways. Working alongside Mervyn, Fiona has found the research experience highly rewarding. “It’s very useful to quantify the value of learning advisory services, as the right assistance at an opportune time can make all the difference to our students,” says Fiona who is the Learning Advisor with the School of Hospitality. Fiona and Mervyn presented their findings at the first joint WelTec/Whitireia Research Symposium, and subsequently at two national tertiary Learning Advisor and Student Support Services conferences. Their presentations generated considerable interest and praise from the academic advisory and educational research community as there has been little quantitative research on the effect that Learning Advisors have on student success. Mervyn explains, “The value of our research is that we keep investigating our practice. This provides indications of our effectiveness and where we can improve our provision to students so that they can achieve at their best.

Stimulating Creativity Bachelor of Creative Technologies Tutor, Malcolm Doidge, works as part of a collaborative teaching team, undertakes research and maintains his own art practice. Malcolm has also just embarked on a two year Master of Fine Art at Massey University. Malcolm’s work, which includes two and three dimensional work, installations and new media, has been selected for several national art awards including the NCC Art Award, Anthony Harper Art Award, Trust Waikato Art Award and most recently, the 2013 Wallace Art Award and touring show. Malcolm describes the approach to his work as ‘bricolage’, a French term for tinkering. He takes everyday items and applies creativity in the workshop to transform them into something unexpected. Malcolm is interested in how everyday objects, such as brooms and wheelbarrows, can be altered to make the familiar seem very unfamiliar. His art materials reflect their origins in ‘big box’ retailers and draws attention to this by transforming these mass produced items into objects that comment on sustainability and consumerism. “I am cautious about recycling and reuse as the art’s comment on sustainability” says Malcolm. “My work is about sustainability but in a wider context. What is it that attracts people to cheap goods and DIY? Humour is also part of my work.” Malcolm is also interested in imitation and how ideas change as they are spread. “Humans are constantly imitating and copying and, in doing so they introduce error in this process and produce something new. As a teacher, Malcolm says it’s important that students are involved in project-based learning. “Learning skills is important as it helps them be flexible in their thinking and their work. Students encounter problems, work together with what they have, and adapt their ideas. Solving technical and creative problems is an important part of their learning process.” Tutors in the School of Creative Technologies are working together to develop new ways of delivering project-based learning. “The Creative Technologies whanaungatanga - we’re all in this together - is becoming central to our thinking. Also our tikanga - the way we do things here - is to work collaboratively for the benefit of everybody.” This whanaungatanga carries over to Malcolm’s Masters research. He explains that he is studying with colleagues and it’s important to see and support what others are doing.

Sound Networks The fields of computer music and computer audio have always been of interest to Andrew Eales, a Senior Academic Staff Member who teaches programming on the Bachelor of Information Technology degree. Andrew completed a Master of Music in Composition while also playing clarinet part-time in the South African National Symphony Orchestra, and went on to become a Lecturer in theoretical music subjects for nine years. During this time, he became interested in computer music and completed undergraduate studies in Computer Science. A sabbatical spent writing software for spatialised sound was followed by a Master of Science in Computer Science at Rhodes University. The research in Andrew’s thesis addressed the design of music notation software, and was awarded the bronze research medal from the South African Academy for the Advancement of Science, recognising the best research dissertations in Science, Engineering and Technology at South African Universities. Andrew’s current research interests involve the control and management of networked audio devices. He has developed a standard model of networked devices and a novel network environment that supports the discovery and control of these devices. He explains that cable connections between audio devices such as mixing consoles, amplifiers and microphones are being replaced by network connections. This allows a tablet or a smart phone to be used to control an audio device such as a mixing console. The challenge is getting these devices to talk to each other in an accurate and efficient manner. By developing a standard device model and a networked environment that uses this model, networked devices are able to communicate in an easier and more efficient manner. This research forms part of his PhD in Computer Science which is nearing completion. Research into audio networks has led him to becoming a member of a technical committee and a standards committee of the Audio Engineering Society. These committees develop new standards for audio networks and liaise with other standards committees such as the Internet Engineering Task Force which oversees the Internet. In 2013, he presented a paper at the New York Convention of the Audio Engineering Society and was also an invited panelist discussing the current state of audio networking. This four-day annual event for industry and academia drew over eighteen-thousand registrations and included over two hundred papers and presentations. Andrew notes that students benefit from his research because they can see the potential of his ideas in an area of interest to them. He explains that the fundamental principles are widely applicable and so simple, that people often overlook them and adopt more complex solutions. Looking to the future is difficult, as the audio industry is currently adopting a variety of new network technologies. Andrew may consider patenting his ideas before other organisations get the opportunity to develop them further.

Aiming High In 2013, James Wu was studying towards his New Zealand Diploma in Engineering when he was awarded a Product Development Internship at WelTec’s Centre for Smart Product. James was delighted with this as it allowed him to work on developing a product for the project component of his Engineering diploma and continue his studies at the same time. In fact James found himself working on a number of projects while at the Centre, one of which involved taking an existing device and adapting it so the Department of Conservation could use it for weed and gorse control in remote and inaccessible parts of the country. Allan Tod, from Creek Grange ACE Limited, had developed a gas-powered projectile used for avalanche control, which he called the ACE Round which is now successfully used in New Zealand and many countries overseas. The New Zealand Department of Conservation had approached Allan to see if the ACE Round could be modified to control weeds and gorse. As an avalanche control device, the ACE Round activates after it penetrates into the snow. For weed and gorse control, a new activator needed to be developed that would cause the two-part front of the ACE Round to split apart and let the seeds or weed control pellets fall to the ground. The modified device would enable coverage of areas that are hard for Department of Conservation staff to access by foot and would easily cover a much larger area. Allan approached Paul Mather from WelTec’s Centre for Smart Product for help. The Centre for Smart Product acts as an interface between businesses - which have realworld problems to solve - and WelTec researchers, students and resources. Paul saw the potential and realised that not only would this make an ideal project for an Engineering student, but that James would be the ideal student to take this on. Working with a commercial client and having a “real” project to work on was valuable – James says “I learn a lot better when I do something, rather than just reading the textbooks and doing calculations. You also learn about customer service, meeting their needs, and making them happy”. James successfully developed a new electronic activator and the modified ACE Round is now ready for field testing. James is intending to continue his studies towards a Bachelor of Engineering Technology and found the experience of working on industry projects very valuable.

Advancing Skills Six years ago the first generation bionic hands came onto the market, priced at US$95,000. Mat Jury, from 5th Element Limited in the Hutt Valley, was perplexed by the cost and began a garage project. Mat gained an appreciation of what it was like to lose a hand after a mountain bike accident which resulted in both his arms and wrists being in plaster. Internationally, there is major interest and investment in advanced prosthetics. Wanting to develop a robust prosthetic hand has taken the garage project to full time product development. Mat first approached WelTec in 2010 for expert help to further develop his prosthetic hand and the Centre for Smart Product was called in to help with developing specific parts. The project brief was to select suitable materials and standard components which needed to be analysed and tested, and validated for manufacturing use. This project was at the leading edge and involved using high end manufacturing methods including 3D printing with titanium. Andrew Rodger, an Engineering Consultant from Centre for Smart Product with a background in rapid product development who has been involved in numerous product development projects, took charge of the project. Andrew employed a recent Bachelor of Engineering Technology graduate, Daniel Taylor, on a one-year Graduate Internship to work on the prosthetic hand. The internship allowed Daniel to develop his skills as a mechanical engineer and product developer under Andrew’s supervision, using the knowledge he gained from his degree in mechanical engineering to further develop the prosthesis so that Mat could move closer to commercial production. “Working on the prosthetic hand was a worthwhile project” said Daniel. “It set me up for the workplace”. Having the Graduate Internship has contributed to his CV and portfolio. This is one of the many examples of “someone with a good idea” who approached WelTec because the Centre for Smart Product could add value and support them in their product development to a point where it can attract commercial investment. It also demonstrates an approach which supports local businesses and industry and gives WelTec students and graduates experience in creating potentially commercial products – the businesses gain access to WelTec resources and at the same time the student gains invaluable experience. Daniel is now using his product development and mechanical engineering knowledge and skills at Calvert Plastics in the Hutt Valley. No doubt the company and customers will benefit from the time Daniel spent on the Graduate Internship with Centre for Smart Product. Andrew says “The experience that the graduates and students gain on our internships is invaluable”

Building a Winner Bachelor of Engineering Technology graduate, Anthony Muir, has gained much more from his study than a valuable qualification. His final year project has been recognised with the Institute of Professional Engineers of NZ Ray Meyer Medal for Excellence in Student Design. This is the second consecutive year that a WelTec Engineering Technology graduate has won the medal. Anthony’s project involved developing and validating a new system to manage the peak flows from extreme rain events. The system comprises flow separation and a series of underground holding tanks which attenuates the water flowing into the environment. His study demonstrated that when the system is installed for any development, the run-off from the land does not exceed pre-development levels, delivering improved environmental performance with considerable cost savings. Anthony’s attenuation system has the potential for international as well as local applications. When used in new residential developments the savings can be up to $500,000 for the developer, and with lower ongoing infrastructure costs for ratepayers as it needs almost no maintenance. As a carpenter in his family’s construction company, Anthony returned to education over ten years ago when the industry first indicated a need for tradespeople to do continuing professional development. He started with a National Diploma in Architectural Technology at WelTec. He enjoyed the experience and went on to complete a New Zealand Diploma in Engineering. This was followed by a research paper at Victoria University of Wellington. He was asked to present this paper at the 43rd Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Architectural Science Association in Tasmania in 2009. Anthony, who started his career as a builder’s labourer has also published a research paper in the Architectural Science Review. The paper on his attenuation system was prepared with his WelTec supervisor Bob McGrath and will be presented at Water New Zealand’s Stormwater 2014 conference. This has all been achieved by Anthony while continuing to work full time. He is now an architectural engineer for the family business and is teaming up with his father to prepare his patented new system for the market. “I’m a different man to the one I was 10 years ago,” says Anthony. “I’m more confident, I can organise my ideas and communicate them confidently. But what pleases me most about all these new skills is that I can use them to help solve people’s problems. My ongoing learning has also helped me identify the best education opportunities. I can honestly say the professionalism, teaching quality and commitment to students at the School of Engineering Technology at WelTec is absolutely superb.”

Together with her collaborator, Jill Clark of Whitireia, they have been providing practical advice on group work to tertiary teachers gained from the research they have undertaken. WelTec’s Executive Dean, Julia Hennessy is completing studies towards her PhD at AUT University. Using an appreciative inquiry approach, she is investigating the contribution of mental health support workers to New Zealand mental health services.
Events A major highlight for WelTec in 2013 was receiving its first result in the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF). As a first time participating organisation in this government level external measure of research, WelTec placed mid-table amongst participating Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITP). This is an indication of the quality of the research undertaken by the staff and shows the institute is well-placed for the future. In July, the first ITP Technology Transfer Symposium and Industry Showcase was held in Wellington. This was a collaborative event organised and led by the Metro ITPs which comprises Christchurch Polytechnic and Institute of Technology (CPIT), Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), Otago Polytechnic, Unitec Institute of Technology (Unitec), WelTec, and Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec).

The Metro ITPs are leading the way for industry-engaged research which has immediate and practical outcomes, and shared ideas on Research and Technology Transfer. The event was well attended by most ITPs, as well as representatives from the Tertiary Education Commission, Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment, and Callaghan Innovation, who also contributed to the programme. To round off the year, WelTec and Whitireia strengthened the strategic partnership between the two institutions by holding the first Joint Research Symposium. Titled “Making Connections” staff provided their colleagues with an insight into their research, and enjoyed the opportunity to create links and research collaborations. Keynote presentations were given by Emeritus Professor Dennis Robinson (University of Nebraska Medical Center) and WelTec Youth Development tutor, Dr Fiona Beals.
External Funding WelTec was the recipient of two research grants from Ako Aotearoa in 2013. A three-year National Project Fund project to explore the use of language in the Trades is being led at WelTec by Dr James Mackay in collaboration with researchers from Victoria University of Wellington. Ako Aotearoa Regional Hub funding was received for a study to evaluate the success of Pacific learners in the Trades, specifically focussed on the Pacific Trades Initiative established by the government in response to the Tertiary Education Strategies.
International Visitor Professor Bob Lambourne, from The Open University and Chair of the International Commission on Physics Education, was hosted by Dr James Mackay on a visit to WelTec. While at the institution Professor Lambourne presented a seminar to staff on educational physics.
International Relationship The relationship between WelTec and the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, Department of Engineering and Economics at the Meschede campus, continues to be strong following the signing of the first Memorandum of Association in 2007. Since then 19 Engineering students from Meschede have undertaken internships in New Zealand through WelTec’s Centre for Smart Product and two WelTec students from the School of Business and Information Technology and the School of Engineering Technology have undertaken internships at Meschede. As a sign of the continuing strength of the relationship, Professor Dr Patrick Scheunemann will visit WelTec to undertake research and teach classes in the School of Engineering Technology.
Students Our students continue to work on high quality, industry relevant projects with support from their supervisors (in brackets). Bachelor of Engineering Technology prize winning student Anthony Muir (Bob McGrath), featured on Page 28, validated his Peak Flow Attenuation System which

reduces the effect of extreme rain events in new land developments. Dominic McKeown (Bob McGrath) conducted a survey of Wellington city households into water usage habits to get information for future water capacity planning. Mark Anderson (Bob McGrath) analysed the life cycle costs of jet pumps in storm water catchment management. Developing a barnacle breaker was Shaun Hollow’s (Frank Cook) project brief with New Zealand Diving and Salvage Ltd. Kushal Gautam (Frans Weehuizen) and Nathan Strawbridge (Frans Weehuizen) each worked on projects at Callaghan Innovation to develop superconductor flux pumps, and to design a synchronous generator load simulator. The on-going relationship with Callaghan Innovation ensures WelTec students can work on projects with an organisation that drives the innovation sector in New Zealand. A result of this relationship was the Ray Meyers Medal prize-winning work of Lachlan Clelland, featured in the 2012 Research Report. Bachelor of Information Technology students also undertake projects in their third year. Andrew Lauv and Ardian Silvandianto (Paul Bryant) continued a project on New Zealand practices in the disposal of data storage devices. Developing a series of reports for Capital and Coast District Health Board on the submission of maternity data was the focus for Liam Nattras, Daniel Dixon, Gabriel Hema and Luke van Soest (Rhys Owen) developed a calibration rig for multi-axis movement sensors for John Gould’s research in robotic navigation. Anna Boyd and Karl Ellis (Rhys Owen) developed interfaces for SNMP-compliant network devices in support of Andrew Eales’ research in network control protocols. Two projects emerged through Grow Wellington: Bevan Clarke, Natalie Johnson and Mustafa Ogab (Andrew Eales) developed a proof of concept application to promote specialist electronic identity management solutions; Helen James, Hema Paspuleti and Chesda Roth, (Steve McKinlay) evaluated online business suites in the custom print industry. The final year exhibition is the highlight for Bachelor of Creative Technologies students. Deidre Utopo (Craig Anderson) used graphic design and photography in “Aganu’u”, an online account of her journey to connect with her Samoan heritage. She photographed people with traditional and contemporary tatau finding they had a common intent to connect with their culture and heritage. Vanessa Young’s (Tony De Goldi) interior design concept was to characterise a city with aesthetically pleasing public spaces which are functional and attractive, serving as backdrops for social events and activities. Through design and use, her pop-up type stall provides diversity and enjoyment. Vanessa received an internship from the Centre for Smart Product. Influenced by recent drought events in the Wellington region and the impact on the environment, graphic and web design student Yae Takahashi (Craig Anderson) designed an interactive and educational website to inform residents about water pollution and water conservation.
