Unit descriptionThe use of appropriate materials is fundamental to all engineering applications. The properties of materials are ultimately dependent onthe microstructure. The behaviour of materials is dependent on how these characteristics react to, or interact with, forcing conditions.External forces applied to a structure must be safely accommodated through internal distribution of stress within elements of thestructure. Material characteristics dictate how this distribution occurs and appropriate characterisation is therefore necessary.Fundamental equations of equilibrium are used to calculate overall stability, internal stress distribution and conditions under whichfailure would occur. This unit highlights the dependency of material properties on their underlying microstructure, leading to anunderstanding of material behaviour, solid statics and hydrostatics and ultimately the appropriate use of different materials forengineering applications. The content is explored using two major projects—(1) reverse engineering of a small engineering device; and(2) construction and destruction of small and larger scale bridges.
Learning outcomesStudents are able to (1) understand how the structure of the material affects the mechanical, electrical and chemical properties ofmaterial; (2) understand how the processing and fabrication method affects the microstructure and therefore properties; (3) gain anappreciation for the different classes of common engineering materials including the relative strength, cost, advantages anddisadvantages and common uses; (4) understand Pascal's law, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy and pressure measurement in fluids,and apply the concepts of pressure and continuum force equilibrium to calculate the hydrostatic force exerted on bodies (integratingover flat surfaces); (5) develop concepts of forces and moments in different coordinate systems (including Newton's third law-reactions); (6) appreciate static equilibrium in two-dimensional space (Newton's first law); (7) understand axial, shear and bendingstresses, and apply to strength of beams; (8) apply static equilibrium to solve truss structures by using the method of sections and themethod of joints; (9) appreciate the need for and application of units, dimensions and conversions; and (10) develop teamwork skillsincluding the development of a cooperative relationship with peers and experts in order to obtain information and assistance whenneeded, to become aware of distributed expertise/coordination, to develop the ability to work well in multidisciplinary and multiculturalteams and understand the role as team leader and player.

AssessmentAssessment overviewTypically this unit is assessed in the following way(s): (1) a reverse engineering report; (2) a bridge project and physical test and report;(3) in-class test materials; (4) an open-book examination; (5) a final examination; (6) online assignments; and (7) attendance andparticipation. Further information is available in the unit outline.
Assessment mechanism

Assessment items
Item Title DescriptionAttendance and Participation (5%) Attendance at Information and Workshop Sessions is compulsory. If you are unable to
attend either of these sessions, you must notify your facilitator in advance and provide amedical certificate or other documentation which explains your absence. If you missmore than two tutorials, you are liable to fail this unit and will need to submit a SpecialConsideration form to the ECM Student Office. You will also gain extra marks for activeparticipation and evidence that you have done any preparatory work for the session.
Weekly Quiz (10%) Each information session will contain a short (10-15 minute) quiz on the lecturematerial and prescribed reading from the previous week.
12V Air compressor Project (7.5%) See separate document.Bridge Project, Physical Test and Report(7.5%)
See separate document.
Mid Semester Exam (15%) This test will examine your understanding of the important concepts of the course. It willbe in week 6 of semester and cover the first 4 weeks content.
Statics Online assignments (5%) You will be provided with a link on LMS to access an online assignment systemdeveloped specifically for this unit. The assignments are worth 5% of the unit mark. All assignments have equal value.Assignments completed correctly before the due date will receive full marks.Assignments completed correctly after the due date will receive 0%. The assignments have several variations, and each person will receive a different setof dimensions and loads. When you submit your solution, the computer willimmediately mark your answers and provide you with the correct answers for anyquestions you answered incorrectly. You may submit as many solutions as you like, but once you submit the answers toone configuration of the assignment, you will be given a different configuration the nexttime. To receive the completion mark you must submit at least one correct solution (allanswers must be correct) before midnight on the due date. Once you submit a correct answer, you can continue to practice using theassignments system as marks will not be deducted for subsequent wrong answers.
Final Exam (50%) This exam will be held in the exam period, will be closed book and examine under-standing, knowledge and from the whole course.
Textbooks and resourcesRecommended texts
For the Materials the following textbook is highly recommended; Callister and DG Rethwisch. Materials science andengineering: an introduction, John Wiley & Sons.
For the Statics the following textbook is highly recommended for the Statics section: Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG, EngineeringMechanics. Statics, 6th edition, SI Version, Wiley.
For Fluids the following textbook is recommended: Cengel, YA and Cimbala, JM, Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals andApplications, McGraw Hill.
You will be expected to download the Information and Workshop Session guidelines and handouts, and bring hard copieswith you each week.
