General Information

Overview

ENEG11008: Materials for Engineers introduces you to the essential knowledge of materials science and the ways in which engineers understand, select and use materials and processes for engineering applications. In this unit, you will gain knowledge of engineering materials, microstructure and its effect on the material properties. You will learn how to identify and explain the properties of engineering materials and processes and how to classify these materials. You will also learn how to select engineering materials and processes for engineering applications, as well as to conduct material tests and report on their results. Throughout this unit, you will develop teamwork, research and communication skills. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Website

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE unit comments report and self-observation

Feedback

Technical issues associated with ISL arose early weeks of the term.

Recommendation

The unit coordinator should arrange testing sessions with Teaching Technology Support before the term starts. Each local lecturer should be assigned as a co-host to address issues without disrupting the central delivery.

Feedback from SUTE unit comments report and self-observation

Feedback

The delivery of its residential school component was inconsistent across campuses due to staffing and equipment.

Recommendation

Students should be provided with more flexible options. Residential school activities will be arranged based on local specialties.

Feedback from SUTE unit comments report

Feedback

Students commented on calculation questions which were pushed to tutorial classes, instead of discussing them in detail during lectures.

Recommendation

The unit coordinator should provide one sample calculation question while ensuring local lecturers cover multiple examples for a firm understanding.
