• Extensive lecture notes are provided. The purchase of text-books is not necessary for the successful completion of this course though it is encouraged for extra learning.

• Electronic copies of the lecture notes as well as any additional material provided in-class will be available through the online MyUni system.

• Welding Metallurgy, 2nd Edition Sindo Kou ISBN: 978-0-471-43491-7
• Applied Welding Engineering , Ramesh Singh ISBN: 978-0-12-391916-8

Electronic copies of the lecture notes as well as any additional material provided in-class will be available through the online MyUni system. Extended study material will also be provided through the online system for students keen to gain further knowledge and application.

Teaching will conducted through a series of lectures, practical session’s industry workshops.

Assignments and in-class quizzes are provided as part of the learning experience. Students are expected to enhance their knowledge, problem solving skills and understanding of the subject matter through completing the assignments and quizzes, so they are regarded as formative rather than summative. The assignments and quizzes are marked, with the mark contributing to the final grade for the subject to ensure that students actually do the assignments and quizzes and take them seriously. It also helps to assess whether the required graduate attributes are being developed.

The laboratory class is intended to provide students with some practical experience in using welding techniques. 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.

This intensive course will consist of 50 contact hours. Students are expected to match these hours with an equivalent of self-study hours.
