Unit description |
Unit description
This unit examines modern and advanced manufacturing techniques for polymers, ceramics, composites and metal products. The unit covers knowledge in the details of manufacturing processes and their specific requirements for a range of engineering design applications. At the end of this unit, students are expected to demonstrate understandings in the advantages and disadvantages of different manufacturing processes, identify best manufacturing strategies for complex mechanical products and be aware of their cost implications. |
Information about important academic dates including deadlines for withdrawing from units are available at https://www.mq.edu.au/study/calendar-of-dates
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
1. There will be no tutorial in week 1, 7, and 13. All students are however required to attend at least 8 out of 10 tutorials to receive 5% participation mark.
2. There will be two praticals on Week 6 and Week 11, respectively.
3. Late submissions:
4. If you receive special consideration for the final exam, a supplementary exam will be scheduled by the faculty during a supplementary exam period, typically about 3 to 4 weeks after the normal exam period. By making a special consideration application for the final exam you are declaring yourself available for a resit during the supplementary examination period and will not be eligible for a second special consideration approval based on pre-existing commitments. Please ensure you are familiar with the policy prior to submitting an application. Approved applicants will receive an individual notification one week prior to the exam with the exact date and time of their supplementary examination.
5. In order to pass this unit a student must obtain a mark of 50 or more for the unit (i.e., obtain a passing grade P/ CR/ D/ HD). For further details about grading, please refer below in the policies and procedures section.
