Fields of practice: Mechanical Engineering program
Undergraduate
Subject coordinator: John Dartnall
The objectives of this subject are to: explain and provide examples of manufacturing processes involved in casting, forming machining and joining of materials; identify and describe the manufacturing process by which products are made of different materials: metals, polymers, ceramics and composites; demonstrate improved technical written and graphical communication skills by completion of specified laboratory reports and site visit reports; and demonstrate basic problem-solving skills relating to manufacturing and production.
Students learn the processes and materials available, as well as a competent and practical approach to evaluating, selecting and recognising the connections between the materials/processes and engineering design.
Assessment: Typically assessment for this subject involves individual project work, laboratory assignments, laboratory quizzes and a final examination.
