| Summary of Module |
|---|
The aim of this module is to provide an understanding in concepts of material science and engineering with reference to an essential element in mechanical design, materials and manufacturing process selection and the environment. Students will investigate a range of different types of modern materials. However, emphasis is placed on steel due to its importance in building, automotive and aerospace industry. An extensive laboratory exercise will be undertaken to determine how, through heat treatment the properties of steel can be modified. The importance of quality systems is demonstrated in relation to material conformity and manufacturing processes.
The module will be closely aligned to other Level 8 modules by utilising a real-world example that will be considered as a common theme across othere Level 8 modules. The output from these modules will feed forward to further modules in Level 9. Thus, creating a holistic approach to learning within the programme.
During the course of this module students will develop their UWS Graduate Attributes. Academic Universal and Work-ready attributes: Students will gain knowledge and understanding of this important discipline as well as having the opportunity to develop a broad range of technical and transferable skills.
- This module has been reviewed and updated, taking cognisance of the University’s Curriculum Framework principles. Examples of this are found within the module such as active and engaging practical testing laboratories, module assessment which reflects industry design activities, learning synergies across modules and levels of study, recorded lecture content supporting students to organise their own study time and the use of real-world practical student generated data.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning Outcomes: (maximum of 5 statements) |
|---|
On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:
L1.
Apply a comprehensive knowledge of the structure of a variety of materials and explain how their properties may be varied though the addition of other materials or material processing.
L2.
Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate heat treatments, failure types and their mechanisms.
L3.
