1. Welcome from Year Coordinator

Welcome to the Department of Materials! While you will learn to navigate through the multitude of materials, their characteristic structures, properties and applications, I will support you on your way through the first year. Understanding of the fundamental working principles of materials is the key we hope to give you to become engineers who enhance existing and invent new materials.

All our courses are taught in different, individual styles while following a common overarching goal. As first year coordinator my door will be open to inquiries and to open discussions between students and lecturers.

I hope you will have a fruitful and exciting year one at the Department of Materials.

Yours,

Katharina

MATE40003 Engineering Practice I

Module Leader: Eleonora D’Elia Teaching Staff: Priya Saravanapavan Ben Chan Greg Casson Why study this module? You will develop your engineering skills by working as a member of a team to design and fabricate an actuator. You will employ three phases of design: concept, proto-type and final design. To deliver the complex system each company (approximately 12 students) will be split into small groups (3-4 students), each working on a specific component. Project management and team working skills are essential for successful delivery of the final design. To support the exercise you will learn about sketching, technical drawing, Arduino programming, 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining. At the end of this module students will be able to:

• produce components of a system using laser cutting, CNC machining and 3D-printing from technical drawings.

• employ the Arduino platform to control hardware. • design a working actuator. • perform as a member of a team to deliver a project to specification and on-time.

How will I be Taught? 10 lectures: Autumn term 10 group teaching: Spring term 40 hrs of practical sessions: Spring & Summer term The cohort is split into ten competing companies charged with designing an actuator. Each company is split into a number of sub-teams responsible for a different component of the machine. Through a series of lectures and workshops you will receive training in sketching, CAD drawing, CNC machining, laser cutting, 3D printing and Arduino programming. Then companies work to design an actuator fit for purpose. To aid you, the process is split into three stages: concept, proto-typing and final design with associated assessments Reading List:

• Manual of Engineering Drawing: Technical Product Specification and Documentation to British and International Standards, Colin H. Simmons; Butterworth-Heinemann 2012

• Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics, Frederick E. Giesecke et al; Peachpit Press 2016 • Exploring Arduino, Jeremy Blum, Wiley 2013 • Arduino: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Learn and Understand Arduino Programming Effectively,

Zach Webber; CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2018 How will I be assessed? There are six reports to be submitted through the project; a Gantt chart and a concept design report at the early stage; technical drawings, parts list, fabrication record and final design report at the mid-stage. Feedback is provided on all reports to help groups improve their designs. There are three presentation exercises in the project; the first at the concept stage and two on completion of the project, the final presentation includes demonstration of the final machine. Marks provided by your peers contribute 10% of the marks for this module. How will I receive feedback? Feedback is provided at all stages in this module to help groups and companies improve their designs. Two non-assessed test-days, where companies run prototypes of their machines and receive feedback, are built into the timetable.

Excellent. Very Good A very good start and summarising the experience by stating that there are 4 main areas was a good idea; perhaps a slightly shorter description of these 4 areas and the improvements being made would have been more effective; but the ending was good too – indicating continued confidence that you will be able to deliver. Good I like the importance given to reinforcing the positive while recognizing the shortcomings. Striking this balance is important as being too positive when there were issues can easily be read as arrogance, while recognizing your faults and at the same time offering the view that things are in hand, will help to ensure confidence in the company is not damaged. By summing up a good range of things where you believed to be able to do better, you avoided the everything is perfect position. However, I wonder whether you could have identified the problems more succinctly and hence not given an impression that there were many problems as there clearly weren't. Average An honest letter detailing what went wrong and how it is being addressed; do avoid the use of words such as “emergency meetings” as they give an impression the whole company is in panic, while actually it would have been surprising if everything worked. But on the whole the letter is still positive, which is important Feedback given on 1st May 2020 (due to Easter Break)

5. Laboratory Information This section explains how the 1st year undergraduate laboratories are organised in the Department of Materials. All laboratories are compulsory – if you are unable to attend a laboratory, you must submit a mitigating circumstance form to Dr Franklyn via blackboard and will be required to meet with him if you miss more than 1 session. You will be issued a lab coat and safety glasses once you have had the safety training, which you must always wear when you are in the labs and store safely in your lockers at all other times. The 1st year labs schedule is listed below and is reflected on your CelCat calendar. In the Autumn term, you will complete the introductory Materials Selection laboratories – consisting of 2 afternoons – where you explore some of the more fundamental mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength as well as physical properties such as density and electrical and thermal conductivities of different classes of materials. For these laboratories, you will work in the same sub-groups as the Design Study (part of Company 1, 2, 3 etc). These laboratories are more like workshops, i.e. not assessed, but are designed to help you understand the lecture material with thought provoking discussions and aid you with the Case Study that will be assessed as part of Materials Selection (see module description for MATE40002 Performance of Structural Materials). They remain compulsory. The schedule will be as follows: (TB = tensile and bending testing; HF = hardness and physical properties)

In the Spring and Summer terms you will complete 5 laboratories in each term that are associated with the modules MATE40004 Structure 1, MATE40005 Fundamentals of Processing and MATE40006 Properties 1. These are assessed – please see either the Year Structure or the Module Information section of this handbook for details. You will work in groups of 4 (composed of your tutorial group: A1, B1, C1, D1 etc.). Each laboratory consists of 2 lab sessions (described as afternoon 1 and afternoon 2). All laboratories will have a pre-lab component that you will need to complete electronically on Blackboard ahead of the lab session. You will have to score 100% (unlimited attempts) on the pre-laboratory exercise before the submission document for the laboratory will become available. These pre-laboratory exercises will become available around 1 week before your laboratory session. Each laboratory session will require a different form of submission. The purpose of this is to allow you to learn in a focussed way the skills associated with creating the various portions of the full laboratory report as well as practising assembling a complete report. Each laboratory contains questions that will not be submitted for assessment, however it is anticipated that you will engage with your GTA or academics in the laboratory and your group to contemplate and discuss these questions. Each are designed to promote greater insight into the laboratory purpose and process.
