The course provides knowledge and practical skills related to materials with a focus on metals and non-metals commonly used in the industry. The candidate gains insight into mechanical properties, material profiles, and datasheets. The course focuses on typical mechanical design solutions, with an introduction to forces and bending moments. The candidate will also learn about product life span, environmental conditions, and material behaviour, with emphasis on sustainability and responsible material selection.
The candidate:
• has knowledge of mechanical properties related to metals commonly used in the mechanical engineering industry.
• has knowledge of mechanical design principles and can make considerations related to material selection.
• has knowledge of the environmental impact and sustainability aspects of different materials.
• can assess their own material choices in relation to industry norms and regulations.
The candidate:
• can find and refer to metals and non-metals and assess their use for mechanical designs.
• can apply knowledge of materials to optimise CAD models and technical documentation.
• can explain their own choice of material types based on mechanical properties and design considerations.
• can reflect on their own designs and make adjustments to design solutions and material choices under supervision.
• can find and refer to information about product lifespan and make design modifications that support sustainable and durable solutions.
The candidate:
• can plan and contribute to material selection processes for design proposals in accordance with industry requirements and standards, and in line with ethical requirements and principles.
• can exchange points of view with peers and implement sustainable material solutions and participate in discussions about good practice.
• has developed an ethical and responsible attitude toward environmentally sustainable design.
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
