MAT ENG 7103 - Engineering of 2D Materials

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2024

The new field of two dimensional (2D) materials has seen exponential growth since the isolation of graphene, a single atomic layer of carbon atoms in 2004. The course will describe how a number of key aspects of the broader field of nanomaterials are applied to study 2D materials, including methods of production such as liquid phase exfoliation, characterisation techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy, and the production of nano-electronic and nano-composite structures. The course will cover fundamental and applied concepts of 2D materials engineering, and will be delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials. The course should highlight the significance of emerging 2D materials in modern society, and contextualise the selection of engineering materials on the basis of their characteristics and end use applications.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    The course employs a diverse approach to learning and teaching, combining lectures, lab experiments, workshops, and student presentations to enhance understanding and practical skills.

    1. Lectures (8 Sessions):
      • A blend of traditional lecturing with supplementary videos to support the material covered.
      • Use of a flipped classroom model where students engage with reading materials and online activities before class, enabling interactive application of knowledge during lectures.
    2. Lab Practicals (5 Sessions):
      • A range of laboratory experiments designed to help students develop a broad set of skills.
      • Activities include preparing graphene, understanding and characterizing the properties of graphene and other 2D materials, exploring specific applications (such as using adsorbents for water purification), and fabricating real devices (sensors) from graphene materials.
      • These practicals will also teach students data processing and reporting skills.
    3. Workshops (2 Sessions):
      • Discussions on the current progress of practical applications of emerging materials.
      • Focus on addressing global challenges in areas such as energy, sustainability, and health.
    4. Student Presentations (1 Session):
      • An opportunity for students to present on a specific topic related to their assignment.
      • Aimed at developing skills in presenting scientific topics effectively.

  • 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 assessments with total 100% marks were composed with the following components.

    1. Lab practicals (5), 12 % each. total 60%
    2. Quizes (2), 5% each, total 10%

  • 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.
