ASSESSMENT

Lab Reports: Specification for lab reports. (Including error analysis where required)

  • Project Reports: Specification for project reports.
  • TESTER tasks: Computer based learning and assessment using the TESTER program.
    Procedures and rules. For most computer-based assessments, homework must be presented before Tester (exam mode) can be attempted.  In some cases, certain programs (e.g. Excel) are excluded from running with Tester during an exam. 

This unit applies basic scientific principles and techniques in mechanical and manufacturing engineering situations, covering three branches of mechanics - Dynamics, Fluids and Thermodynamics.
