Unit description

Introduces students to the interactions between manufacturing, materials performance and engineering design processes. Students explore this through a team-based reverse engineering exercise. Common and new manufacturing processes are addressed. Students undertake Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Manufacturing (CAM) exercises, including numerically controlled production of a component.

Unit content

Module 1. Engineering design and the interactions between manufacturing and design processes

Module 2. Manufacturing process in engineering

Module 3. Design for manufacturing

Module 4. Computational modelling in design

Module 5. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

Module 6. Reverse engineering, manufacturing

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1develop skills in computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
2understand the role of modelling and simulation in manufacturing
3develop knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials and use it to reverse engineer a component
4develop communication and collaboration skills in writing to demonstrate appropriate graphics and data manipulation.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

  1. develop skills in computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
  2. understand the role of modelling and simulation in manufacturing
  3. develop knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials and use it to reverse engineer a component
  4. develop communication and collaboration skills in writing to demonstrate appropriate graphics and data manipulation.

Teaching and assessment

Notice

Intensive offerings may or may not be scheduled in every teaching period. Please refer to the timetable for further details.

Southern Cross University employs different teaching methods within units to provide students with the flexibility to choose the mode of learning that best suits them. SCU academics strive to use the latest approaches and, as a result, the learning modes and materials may change. The most current information regarding a unit will be provided to enrolled students at the beginning of the teaching period.
