Overview
This unit offers extended information on material behaviours and manufacturing properties, principles of manufacturing processes and technologies. The unit aims to deepen the understanding of material selection process and enable you to identify appropriate manufacturing processes for a particular product design and development. You will study a wide variety of manufacturing processes such as bulk deformation processes, material removal processes, finishing and joining processes, micro/nano scale manufacturing and other modern manufacturing techniques and learn 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. Students enrolled in distance mode can opt to attend a Residential School.

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 Moodle
Better alignment of assessment tasks with unit delivery
This feedback relates to the TAFE visit that students had to partake as the first assessment. Due to the passing away of one colleague, the original visit which was scheduled in line with the related content delivery, had to be advanced. This will be duly addressed in the next iteration.
Feedback from Moodle
Missing data in the final exam
Contrary to the opinion, it being an open book exam, students are expected to find the missing data from relevant tables/graphs and solve the problems. Sufficient emphasis was laid on this aspect throughout the term and this practice will be continued.
Feedback from Moodle
Access to TAFEs closer to students
It being a first time collaboration with TAFE and shrouded with unfortunate events, we were forced to limit the TAFE sessions to Rockhampton and Mackay only. The event will be replicated at Gladstone next year which will provide students an additional access. We are also exploring the option of holding the event at Cairns TAFE.
Feedback from Moodle
Content on Metrology would prove very useful
This is an interesting aspect. Metrology is introduced to students in a different unit but this topic will be included in this unit too so students can better appreciate the importance of size and scale in manufacturing.
- Clearly establish the relationships between the microstructural of materials and their mechanical and manufacturing properties
- Explain various bulk deformation and material removal processes as applicable to ductile and brittle materials; and the machine tools that are used to carry out these operations
- Calculate numerically the forces, torques and power requirements for various processing different materials for bulk deformation
- Mathematically analyse the mechanics of metal cutting and the control of various process parameters to achieve optimum material removal and machining economics
- Apply the knowledge of engineering metrology, instrumentation and quality assurance of manufacturing of products
- Apply information literacy skills, obtain relevant engineering information and identify appropriate standards and practices
- Work, learn and communicate in an ethical, professional manner, both individually and in teams
Learning outcomes are linked to Engineers Stage 1 Competencies and also discipline capabilities. You can find the mapping for this on the Engineering Undergraduate Course website.

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.
