Description

This unit extends students' knowledge of engineering materials. Students will be introduced to basic manufacturing processes and machine tools. The unit enables students to develop a direct link between manufacturing methods and the mechanical behaviour of materials. This unit also enables the students to improve machining economy by utilisation of optimised machining parameters in order to reduce machining costs.

Equivalent Rule

Unit was previously coded ENS5110

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Classify materials on the basis of their properties and applications.
  2. Construct and interpret statistical QC charts.
  3. Relate mechanical properties of materials to manufacturing processes.
  4. Relate phase diagrams to the microstructures of metals.
  5. Research non-traditional processes and justify their utilisation.
  6. Select machining parameters according to economic considerations.
  7. Utilise manufacturing processes for shaping materials.

Unit Content

  1. Computation of basic parameters for common machining operations.
  2. Economic product design considerations in machining.
  3. Machining operations including turning, milling, and drilling.
  4. Manufacturing methods and metal forming processes.
  5. Non-traditional machining and thermal cutting processes.
  6. Properties and applications of common engineering materials.
  7. Structure and mechanical properties of common engineering materials.

Additional Learning Experience Information

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 Misconduct

Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorised collaboration;
  • cheating in examinations;
  • theft of other students' work;

Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.

The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
