Overview
This unit introduces you to the relationship between material properties, structure, and functional performance of mechanical components such as gears, shafts, bearings, fasteners etc. You will apply material selection to determine the load for individual machine elements. Subsequently, you will learn to determine the shape and sizes of components by the way of comprehensive analysis, estimation, and selection. You will select and specify common mechanical components like drive line, shafts, axles, gears, bearings, mechanical fasteners, and other relevant parts and modules complying with the relevant standards and codes. You will specify fits and tolerances, and finishes required for mechanical components.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
ENAG11005 Mechanics or ENEG11006 Engineering Statics, and MATH11160 Technology Mathematics or MATH11218 Engineering Foundation 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 - 2022
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 Student feedback
The extension of students' professional knowledge helped them relate to the topics easily.
The topics will be kept and updated.
Feedback from Student feedback
Audio quality in video recordings was poor and difficult to follow.
Zoom session will be moved to the room with AV Full.
Feedback from Student feedback
Textbook extracts from outside resources were difficult to follow in the study guides, underutilising the prescribed textbook for the course.
Lecturing notes were mainly based on the prescribed textbooks. But, some workbook questions were from outside resources. They will be improved and more questions will be from the prescribed textbooks.
Feedback from Student feedback
A corrected assignment paper from each assignment posted shortly after the marking of each would be beneficial.
In this term, for each week workbook questions, a corrected paper was uploaded into the moodle site each week. Similar work will be done for the assignment questions.
- Explain the relationship between material properties, structure, and functional performance of mechanical components such as gears, shafts, bearings, fasteners etc
- Perform simple stress analysis using design limiting criteria to select mechanical components
- Interpret Australian standards and design codes governing the selection of mechanical components
- Identify components to suit a given application and justify the basis for the selection
- Work and learn collaboratively to complete a team project.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
