Overview
This unit is focused on the tribological principles to understand fundamentals of friction, wear and lubrication aspects of a machine. The knowledge of tribology will help student analysing root cause of failures and also in selecting an appropriate condition monitoring technique to predict failures. The unit will provide adequate knowledge to use condition monitoring as a maintenance strategy. Students will acquire adequate skills to select a suitable condition monitoring technique from a variety of techniques such as; sensory and function inspection; vibration monitoring; infrared thermography; oil analysis; acoustic emission; stress, strain, displacement; non-destructive testing/inspection; electrical equipment performance analysis; and performance monitoring in general.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisites: ENMM20023 & ENMM20025
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 - 2017
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 Postgraduate 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.

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
There is need of residential school on either a weekly basis or a monthly basis with more interactive exercise. At present black board sessions are either having issues with IT or professor is having time pressure and not getting relevant work done.
Residential schools are not cost effective due to poor attendance. Because of Blackboard Collaborate and multimedia learning tools that are available, fewer students prefer to attend residential schools than in the past. Students are advised to read assignment questions carefully and ask questions via Blackboard Collaborate, email or phone if they are in doubt.
Feedback from Moodle
New questions required for all of the assignments for this unit. Assignment questions old and need updating and refreshing.
Assignments will be reviewed and revised where need be.
- Identify the range of condition monitoring techniques suitable in a plant.
- Establish tribological principles for deciding condition monitoring techniques.
- Investigate the standards associated with condition monitoring techniques.
- Justify the use of condition monitoring in a plant.

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.
