Unit Synopsis
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.

Term 2 - 2026 Profile
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.
Assessment Tasks
To see assessment details from an earlier availability, please search via a previous term.
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%).

More interaction during delivery would help students better.
Recommended, Lecturer to interact with students more frequently during lecture classes and ask relevant challenging questions.
More Zoom sessions were organised for the distance students.

Industry site visit is exceptionally helpful.
To develop practical knowledge for students, it is recommended to keep organizing industry site visits for students in areas of different campus locations as the students are located, making them easy to attend.
This practice has been implemented.
Source: UC
Industry practice oriented assessment and unit content are making students ready for jobs.
Recommended to keep lectures, tutorials more relevant to modern manufacturing industry practices as well to set assessment questions on real-life industry experiences.
This is a work in progress. More emerging and real-world industry practices will be embedded in various teaching and learning activities in future offerings.

Implication of latest research output in unit content (lecture, tutorial, assessment) is creating inspiration for students.
Highly recommended to use latest and relevant-to-topic research output in lectures, tutorials and in assessments too.
Students are being introduced to latest research trends and tools .
Source: SUTE
Provide in-depth knowledge of individual manufacturing processes.
Recommended to deliver clear and in-depth specialist knowledge for individual topics of the unit in lectures, tutorials and reflect that in assessments too.
This is a work in progress. More emerging and real-world industry practices will be embedded in various teaching and learning activities in future offerings.

Moodle site could be better organised.
Ensure the unit Moodle does not contain multiple entries of the same content.
In Progress

Assessment requirements could be more elaborate.
Ensure that the assessment requirements and criteria for assessment should be clearly conveyed to the students.
In Progress

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.
