Structure
The course will consist of 19 one-hour lectures and 19 three-hour practical classes. Detailed schedules are provided separately.
Assessment
1st Attempt: Continuous assessment (100%): Oral presentation (20%); Written reports (20%); Pictorial and engineering drawings (60%).
Re-sit: Students who No Paper any element of assessment will not be given resubmission opportunity and will be required to re-register for this course or its equivalent at the next available opportunity. All other students should be referred to the course coordinator for resubmission.
Formative Assessment
Students must participate in all continuously assessed work and submit their reports and engineering drawings for marking when required. There will be opportunities for informal formative assessment and informal feedback in the weekly tutorial/practical sessions.
