Overview
Professional engineers have a "comprehensive, theory based understanding of underpinning natural and physical sciences" (1.1) which supports their capability in the "application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving" (2.1) (Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineer). This unit provides the opportunity for you to develop your capability in these competencies in mechanical engineering. It introduces the relationships between engineering design, manufacturing processes and mechanical properties of materials, which will provide a foundation for later units in engineering design, manufacturing, solid mechanics, and stress analysis. You will learn to communicate engineering concepts using drawings and industry standard computer aided drawing technologies, to convey dimensions and tolerances, and specify materials and manufacturing processes.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Create engineering mechanical designs that satisfy a given functional requirement and are at an introduced level.
- Construct detailed engineering drawings of a mechanical design, for basic components at an introduced level.
- Compare the effects of materials and manufacturing processes using engineering based critical thinking, at an introduced level.
- Communicate analysis procedures in materials and manufacturing using graphical, mathematical, software and engineering techniques at an introduced level
Content
- Engineering design for function, strength and manufacture.
- Engineering communication using detailed drawings.
- Introduction to drafting with CAD software.
- Common manufacturing processes and associated materials properties.
- Common engineering materials and associated mechanical properties.
- Engineering communication of materials specifications and manufacturing processes.
Learning Approaches
In this unit you can expect to experience the following timetabled activities:
- Formal lectures from experienced professional engineers and scientists that will activate your understanding of theories and principles, and model approaches to engineering design.
- Workshop classes that will give you the opportunity to work collaboratively with your peers on engineering design problems. These will be facilitated by tutors and will provide an opportunity to test your understanding and gain feedback on your work.
To complement timetabled activities, you can expect to be provided with learning resources on a unit Canvas site that you can access flexibly to complete your learning in this unit. Success in this unit will require you to manage your time to ensure you have focused time each week (beyond timetabled activities).
At the beginning of the unit, you will be made aware of the ways in which you can ask questions or seek clarification from the Unit Coordinator and Tutors.
You are expected to:
- Engage with timetabled activities on campus throughout the semester.
- Manage your time to engage with online resources outside of timetabled activities.
- Work both independently and with your peers on engineering design tasks each week.
- Prepare for timetabled classes and activities and follow up on any work not completed.
- Complete assessment tasks by working consistently across the semester and meeting the due dates that are published via the unit Canvas site.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will be provided with feedback for each of the assessment items during the semester. You are encouraged to review your work to identify your personal gaps in knowledge and skills. The tutorial teaching staff will be available to facilitate this review and help you to identify strategies to improve your individual learning outcomes.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment consists of communicating the details of a machine design using standard engineering drawings; determining appropriate manufacturing processes and material selections and communicating these in a design report; and a final theory examination.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Engineering drawing
Communicate the design of a machine using engineering drawings. This is completed as an invigilated assessment during scheduled workshop classes.
Assessment: Design for manufacture project
Determining appropriate manufacturing processes and material selections for a machine in line with identified functional requirements, and justify choices in an engineering design report.
Part A (practical component) is not an assignment for the purposes of an extension. Part B (report) is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Final examination
Written examination.
“If campus access is restricted at the time of the central examination period/due date, an alternative, which may be a timed online assessment, will be offered. Individual students whose circumstances prevent their attendance on campus will be provided with an alternative assessment approach.”
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Resources
You are required to use the following:
- The unit website on QUT's Canvas (learning materials that support timetabled activities and assessment tasks)
- QUT Library Databases
- QUT Cite| Write: You can access QUT cite/write online (Free download from QUT library)
Risk Assessment Statement
You will be informed of any requirements pertaining to a safe workplace. In lectures, tutorials and such, the information will include location of fire exits and meeting points in case of fire. If you do not follow legitimate instructions or endanger the safety of others or do not act in accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Health and Safety Act, you will be required to leave the session.
You will be required to undertake practical sessions in the laboratory under the supervision of members in the teaching team and technical staff. Prior to entry to a laboratory space you must complete the Undergraduate Health, Safety and Environment Induction (annual completion requirement). You will be advised of requirements of safe and responsible behaviour and will be required to wear appropriate protective items (e.g. closed shoes or steel capped shoes, lab coat, and safety glasses). The unit’s Canvas site will provide you with a copy of the risk assessment and will provide you with details on how to perform the laboratory tasks safely.
