Description

A practical demonstration of the knowledge of the theoretical links between performance, composition, processing and structure in the informed selection and application of metal, wood and polymer materials to design problems and specifications. An awareness of recent advances in materials technology such as high performance materials, ceramics, composites, membranes and coatings. The unit is designed to focus on skills, knowledge and production requirements for secondary classes in Years 11-12.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must have completed DTC2101, DTM1104, DTM1105

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Demonstrate a mastery of different materials equipment and processes.
  2. Demonstrate a high range of both manipulative and cognitive skills such as the use of tools and equipment, problem solving, creativity and design using multiple materials.
  3. Select appropriate materials for particular advanced applications and briefs based on the principles of materials technology.
  4. Using a design process, create a portfolio and produce drawings and design products to create a solution to a given brief using a number of materials required for Years 11-12 secondary students.
  5. Investigate and develop resources for Years 11-12 secondary education in materials technology.
  6. Research into material properties in order to choose appropriate materials for a design brief.
  7. Relate environmental concerns to classroom practice.
  8. Demonstrate safe working procedures in the area of occupational health and safety.

Unit Content

  1. Further development in using a design process to develop in-depth portfolios for Years 11-12.
  2. Understand and develop SOPs to follow Australian Health and safety regulations required in the workplace and in schools.
  3. Develop planning and construction procedures required for in-depth portfolios.
  4. Research and develop knowledge in the properties and structures of materials.
  5. Maintain hand and machine tools.
  6. Material cutting shaping forming and joining.
  7. Develop highly sophisticated skills in using a variety of machines designed to create projects for Year 11-12 projects.

Additional Learning Experience Information

Laboratory work, demonstrations, discussion, research and lectures as appropriate. Students will be required to devote extra time to complete exercises and assignments.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
