Year No. Offer Mode Description Cred. Pts 97 E1007 S2 X STEEL & BUILD TECHNOLOGY 1.00
Engineering Technologists in all areas of employment are likely to be involved in building design and construction, and steel design, detailing and construction. This unit therefore seeks to introduce the student to these commonly encountered areas of civil engineering. Steel Technology deals with weldability; fracture mechanics; fusion welding processes; distortion and tolerances; weld defects and Non Destructive Testing; cutting of steel; bolting technology; corrosion of steelwork. A broad overview is also provided of current building construction practice, embracing the structural, architectural and building services aspects.
This unit seeks to provide a working knowledge of building
technology, as applied to architect/engineer designed
buildings; and a working knowledge of the processes involved
in the fabrication of welded and bolted structural steelwork.

1 There is no residential school for this unit.
2 ALL assignments (ie ASSESSMENTS 1,2 and 3) are COMPULSORY.
3 The penalty for late submission of any assessment is normally the
loss of all marks for the assessment. Students seeking an
assignment extension (for a sound documented reason) should
contact the examiner BEFORE the due date.
4 This unit is in two parts. Part 1 is concerned with Building
Technology. Part 2 is concerned with Steel Technology. Students
must perform satisfactorily in both parts to complete the unit.
In general, the attainment of 50% of the marks awarded for each
part will be deemed the minimum level of satisfactory
performance. However, a lower mark may be acceptable in one part
if the student's performance is exceptional in the other. In no
circumstances will a mark below 40% be accepted as satisfactory
irrespective of the marks awarded in the other part.
5 Subject topics selected when repeating must be different from
those selected when previously enrolled. This also applies to
site and shop visits.
6 The examination in this unit is a closed book examination
consisting of 100 multiple choice questions on Building
Technology.
7 Students should note that the due dates listed for assessments 1
and 2 are mailing dates, not dates due into DEC.
8 The Faculty of Engineering and Surveying will NOT accept
submission of hand written or typed assignments by facsimile,
email or computer diskette. Students in remote locations who do
not have regular access to postal services may be given special
consideration.
9 A minimum standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
