Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
You will participate in individual and team problem solving activities related to typical engineering workplace problems. These activities involve class participation, prescribed exercises, homework, application of theory to engineering problems, completion of calculations to industry standard, tests and examination. You will participate in supervised workshop/lab practice in real and/or simulated workshop/lab environment. You will engage in preparing a written report(s) on the testing of materials completed in the workshop/lab.
Teaching Schedule
This is an indicative teaching schedule. Refer to announcements for changes.
Session 1: Classification of the states of the materials, properties of the materials, stress, strain and strength.
Session 2: Properties of metals, materials testing: fatigue, tensile, impact, hardness, torsion, shear, compression.
Session 3: Tensile testing and heat treatment of steel lab practice.
Session 4: Effects of processes on properties: primary processes.
Session 5: Effects of processes on properties: secondary processes.
Session 6: Materials engineering applications.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written / oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided thoughout the course.
Assessment Tasks
To be deemed competent students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of a competency.
Assessment for this course is ongoing throughout the semester. Your knowledge and understanding of course content is assessed through the completion of three assessment tasks.
The three assessment tasks involve in-class quizzes, one research report and one laboratory report.
You will be marked using the following table:
CA Competency Achieved
NYC Not yet Competent
DNS Did not Submit
Assessment Task One (In-class quizzes) submitted in Session 1, 2, and 5.
Assessment Task Two (Research report) submitted in Session 6.
Assessment Task Three (Lab Report) submitted in Session 5.
