Overview
This unit offers comprehensive information on material behaviours and manufacturing properties, principles, processes, and technologies. The unit aims to deepen the understanding of the material selection process and enables you to identify appropriate manufacturing processes for a particular product design and development. You will study bulk deformation, material removal, finishing and joining and other modern manufacturing processes. You will also study 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.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisites: (ENEG11008 Materials for Engineers or ENEG12005 Materials Science & Engineering) and MATH11218 Applied Mathematics or MATH11219 Engineering 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).

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).

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 SUTE
Moodle site could be better organised.
Ensure the unit Moodle does not contain multiple entries of the same content.
Feedback from SUTE
Assessment requirements could be more elaborate.
Ensure that the assessment requirements and criteria for assessment should be clearly conveyed to the students.
Feedback from SUTE
Feedback on some assessments is not adequately provided.
Ensure that more elaborate feedback is provided to students on their performance and justify the reasoning for the marks/grades awarded.
