TECH 1006 - Engineering Mechanics Technology

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2021

This course teaches students how to apply Newtonian physics to analyse relatively simple physical mechanisms. Emphasis is given to commonly encountered engineering applications that are either in static equilibrium or dynamic non-equilibrium. Topics include an introduction to forces; equilibrium; centre of gravity; distributed loading; friction; shear force diagrams bending moment diagrams; kinematics; kinetic motion and energy.

  • 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 course will be assessed as follows:

    Assessment Type Weighting Submission Due Date Learning outcomes
    Summative Assignment 1 5% Individual Week 2 1
    Summative Assignment 2 5% Individual Week 4 2
    Summative Assessment 3 5% Individual Week 6 2&3
    Summative Assessment 4 10% Individual Week 8 2&3
    Summative Assignment 5 5% Individual Week 10 2&3
    Summative Assignment 6 10% Individual Week 12 2&3
    Quizzees 20% Individual Weeks 5&11 1-3
    Exam 40% Individual Exam period 1-3
    Assessment Related Requirements
    For the summative assignments, a late submission penalty of 10% per day is applied. In order to pass the course students must achieve a minimum of 40% for the examination (course hurdle).

    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • 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.
