Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
None. Some of the skills & knowledge requirement will be covered in other competencies, such as in VBP263 Implement basic materials science principles to engineering applications; or equivalent.
Course Description
This unit of competency sets out the knowledge and skills required to apply principles of strength of materials to standard engineering problems. This includes stress strain, deformation, and properties of sections, shear force and testing.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, practice in this unit is subject to regulations directly related to occupational health and safety and where applicable contracts of training such as apprenticeships and traineeships.

Overview of Assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply concepts of strength of materials to problems of strength and stability of structures and mechanical components. This includes stress, strain, deformation, properties of sections and shear force. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Assessment Tasks
1. WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT
2. MAIN WRITTEN EXAM
Assessment Matrix
1. WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT -20% OF FINAL MARKS
2. MAIN WRITTEN EXAM -80% OF FINAL MARKS
Other Information
Main Exam will be conducted under closed book conditions, formula sheets and / or extracts of reference material will be provided as appropriate.In order to pass this module the learner must obtain a 50% of marks in Main Exam. Please refer The course calender handouts for more detail. Student should clearly demonstrate how the problem solving techniques used in the test to score full marks.
Some of skills and knowledge like material testing method and material properties were taught in VBP263 Implement basic materials science principles to engineering applications(PROC5230) and taken as knowledge and skills achieved.
Thermal stress will be covered in conjuction with VBP 283 Apply principles of Mechanics to engineering structures (MIET7300)
