MECH ENG 2100 - Design Practice

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2023

This course is an introduction to engineering design. It will also look at design of some specific mechanical sub-systems. Students will also learn effective communication skills by means of engineering reports and graphical communication. The course is divided into two major components: In Design for Function a number of power transmitting sub-systems, commonly used in mechanical design will be looked at. Students will design such sub-systems using both first principles and according to standard processes. Students will learn such fundamental aspects of design as using sources of design information; accuracy of engineering quantities; material selection; fabrication methods, and tolerances and fits. In Design Graphics students? graphical communication skills, including manual and computer aided drawing skills, are developed. This builds on existing knowledge learned in previous courses. Design graphics fundamentals are reviewed and extended, with hands-on training in the form of multiple assessments using state-of-the-art Computer Aided Design (CAD) software.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.

    Assessment Related Requirements

    Students have to pass Design Project part of the course and obtain course total of at least 50%.

    The Laboratories are compulsory part of a course. If a lab session is missed or a lab report not handed in or a student fails to get at least 35% of the total possible lab marks, then that is grounds for FAILURE of the entire course.

    Assessment Detail

    Design for Function Workshops – group reports
    Design for Function Workshop -  online quizzes
    Design Graphics online quizzes and assessments
    Laboratory – assessment based on lab participation and a report;
    Final exam – open-book, 2 hours.

    Submission

    Workshop reports, Design Graphics Drawings and online quizzes are all are all submitted electronically though MyUni. A penalty for late submission will be applied – 10% per day including weekends. In special cases extensions can be granted on individual basis. A “turn-around” timeline on assessments and the provision of feedback to students is approximately 2 weeks.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines

    This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
