In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
This project-based unit will introduce you to fluid drive systems and the design and control of integrated drive systems for use in industries. It covers comparison of characteristics, construction, selection, design and operation of fluid drives and control systems; use of mathematical models to analyse performance; machine protection and control schemes; and evaluation of drive system performance. You will apply formulas and explain and record calculations. You will adopt professional approaches to work in teams and learn collaboratively to manage and complete projects. You will manage your own learning; investigate, design and check designed works performed; and communicate professionally using discipline language to present designs and problem solutions. Distance education students are required to have access to a computer, to make frequent use of the internet, and are required to participate in residential school activities.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisites: ENEM12006 Fluid Mechanics and ENEM12010 Engineering Dynamics
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 1 - 2025
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).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
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 Coordinator's reflection
The response rate is low and no trend/mode evolved.
Personal engagement with students should be made to enhance the student feedback rate.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator's reflection
The team projects in context are essential for student learning.
The industry-based project scopes should be adopted.
Feedback from Unit Coordinator's reflection
The software tutorial enhances student interest in project work and learning.
The use of simulation software tutorials should be continued.
- Design and analyse the fluid drives using mathematical modeling
- Evaluate the charateristics of different drive systems with regard to the application
- Design protection and control systems
- Analyse electro-mechanical power and energy conversion systems
- Evaluate methods to improve energy efficiency
- Create professional documentation using terminology, symbols and diagrams related to electric and fluid drives.
The Learning Outcomes for this unit are linked with the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standards for Professional Engineers in the areas of 1. Knowledge and Skill Base, 2. Engineering Application Ability and 3. Professional and Personal Attributes at the following levels:
