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 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.
     If extensions are required, contact the examiner directly.
2    The    examination   in  this  unit  is  RESTRICTED. Only a  hand
     held battery operated calculator which does not have keys for the
     alphabet may  be  brought  into  the examination by the student.
3    Attendance at residential school is optional for this unit.
4    In order to successfully complete the unit students must normally
     obtain, in aggregate, 50% of the total marks awarded.
5    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.
6    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
     in order for a passing grade to be achieved.
