MECH ENG 3103 - Manufacturing Engineering & Quality Systems

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2017

Manufacturing engineering and quality engineering are core systems used by organisations in the process of developing new products and getting them into production. Topics include: technological and manufacturing paradigms and the process of innovation, supporting systems, methodologies and techniques comprising design for manufacture and assembly, failure mode effect analysis, process control plans, statistical process control, and 8D problem solving. A number of subject-matter experts from industry will present specific manufacturing and quality engineering systems and techniques, together with specific case studies to illustrate their application.

    Learning & Teaching Modes

    FREE TEXT ENTRY: Areas must provide an explanation of the approach to learning and teaching for this course, and the relationship of these e.g. lectures supported by problem-solving tutorials developing material covered in lectures

    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    It is expected that students spend approximately 45 hours of their own time on lecture preparation, reading, tutorials, assignments and the industry visit over the course of the semester.

    • Global competition, competitiveness and manufacturing strategy
    • Strategic Manufacturing
    • Innovation and technology management
    • Technology development, product design and competitive advantage

    Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)

    • Product development cycle

    Specific Course Requirements

    Students will be given the opportunity to make a formal visit to an advanced manufacturing facility. During the course of the industry visit students will see firsthand how the manufacturing and quality systems and techniques are used in the day to day operation of the production facility. All students are strongly encouraged to attend the industry visit to enhance their understanding of the Manufacturing Engineering and Quality Systems, their capacity to complete the assignments and exam as well as to better prepare themselves for employment opportunities.

  • 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.

    Assessment Summary

    The assignments take the form of open-ended industry problems, which tests students’ ability to bring information (from class and from their research) to bear on the given problem. As there is no single right answer to the assignments, answers that demonstrate a well-reasoned approach to solving the problem, taking account of all of the parameters that impact on the solution and follow the format discussed in class, attract full marks. This tests the students’ ability to provide a technically correct answer that is succinct and readily understandable by others. The assignments are marked and the results included in the final assessment. Feedback is provided on each student’s work. The assignments are complimented by non-assessed case studies and class exercises. .

    The examination is a summative assessment and is intended to assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of the course material and how it fits into the global engineering context. To achieve full marks they are challenged to transfer scenarios from class into more complex scenarios in the exam.

    Due dates for the individual assignments will be posted on MyUni prior to the start of the semester and covered in the unit introductory lecture at the start of the semester.

    Assessment Related Requirements

    Attendance of the Industry Visit is voluntary.

    Assessment Detail

    Submission

    Submission instructions will be published on MyUni prior to the start of the semester and also covered during the unit introduction lecture.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
