A comprehensive study of the principles of design and manufacture of advance composites to promote the understanding of the increased complexity of materials properties, and the behaviour and analysis methods for the design and manufacture of advanced composite structures.
Design and Manufacturing information and methods are presented in a series of lectures, including illustrations, and worked examples. Practical understanding of basic manufacturing processes is also supported by laboratory and class demonstrations.
On successful completion of the unit the student will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, example problems and self-directed exercises, drop-in sessions and practical activities.
Summative assessment:
100% scheduled 3-hour online exam in January, consisting of short answer questions plus themed long answer questions.
Formative assessment:
ILO 1 and 2 through example questions, themed problems with typical solution guidance and online feedback.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. AENGM0025).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
