Overview
This unit will emphasise engineering design with a focus on designing a system rather than the individual components of a system. In this way, the unit will integrate mechanical design with material selection, manufacture, and control systems, and the needs of in-service monitoring to optimise system performance. Quality management systems, … For more content click the Read More button below.
This unit uses case studies, group work and design projects as key learning methodologies to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical outcomes. You can expect a strong practical focus with extensive use of computer-aided design and analysis software.

Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 70%
Final assessment: 30%
This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
