In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
This unit offers comprehensive information on material behaviours and manufacturing properties, principles, processes, and technologies. The unit aims to deepen the understanding of the material selection process and enables you to identify appropriate manufacturing processes for a particular product design and development. You will study bulk deformation, material removal, finishing and joining and other modern manufacturing processes. You will also study product design, quality management, and manufacturing in a competitive environment. You will apply information literacy skills to obtain relevant engineering information and identify appropriate standards and practices.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisites: (ENEG11008 Materials for Engineers or ENEG12005 Materials Science & Engineering) and MATH11218 Applied Mathematics or MATH11219 Engineering Mathematics.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. 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).
Residential Schools
This unit has a Optional Residential School for distance mode students and the details are:

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

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 Unit Evaluation
Enough supplementary materials were provided to the students for their learning.
The same practice will be continued in next offering.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
The clarification of some Quizzes were not adequate.
The QUIZ questions will be revised to ensure clear clarification.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
Assignment 2 requires multiple sources for data collection to solve.
Further guidance will be provided for student.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
The industry site visits were helpful to learn manufacturing processes in practice.
Recommended to keep site visits ongoing.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
The unit content was appropriate for a Mechanical Engineering degree.
The same practice will be continued in next offering.
- Establish the relationships between the microstructures, mechanical and manufacturing properties of materials
- Explain the mechanics of bulk deformation and material removal processes as applicable to ductile and brittle materials and the machine tools used to perform these operations
- Analyse the forces, torques, and power requirements for various processing of different materials
- Apply the knowledge of engineering metrology, instrumentation, and quality assurance of manufacturing of products
- Apply engineering standards and practices relevant to materials manufacturing
- Work, learn, and communicate in an ethical, professional manner, both individually and in teams.
