STAFFING:

RATIONALE:

All engineering structures and components require materials so they can be constructed. Many different materials are used and they have widely varying properties. Engineering Technologists and Associates should have a sound working knowledge of the characteristic properties and behaviour in service of the common types of engineering materials. They may be involved in the design or manufacture of these components or as users of these components. For this reason all engineering courses contain a study of materials.

SYNOPSIS:

This  unit provides a broad outline of the properties and applications
of the main types of engineering materials.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:

1. outline the structure of a wide range of engineering materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics and alloys;
2. explain the characteristic properties, applications and limitations of a wide range of engineering materials in practical use.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    Because  it is normal practice to release model answers  promptly
     after the due date, the penalty for late submission of assignment
     work will normally be the loss of all marks for the assignment.
2    The   examinations  in  this  unit  are  RESTRICTED.   Only   non
     programmable  electronic  calculators may  be  brought  into  the
     examination by the student.
3    In  order  to  successfully  complete  the  unit,  students  must
     normally obtain, in aggregate, 50% of the total marks awarded.
4    It  is the policy of the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying NOT
     to  accept  submission  of assignments  by  facsimile  or  email.
     Students  in remote locations who do not have regular  access  to
     postal services may be given special consideration.
