Aims
This module will provide learners with the necessary background knowledge and understanding of the mechanical properties of materials, testing of materials for their properties, selection, processing or shaping materials into components through different manufacturing processes with special emphasis to automotive applications.
This module also aims to provide students with the appropriate set of skills in order to design an automotive related product and select the most adequate manufacturing processes to transform raw materials into an engineered product based on economic, functional and sustainable aspects including application of machine tools.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critique the differences in properties of engineering materials with the aid of composition and the structure
2.
Use the results of materials tests and published data to select materials for a given application and analyze the function/s of a product in terms of the material constraints on its design
3.
Rank suitable materials and processing methods for a specific product requirement and describe different manufacturing processes used to manufacture automotive components
4.
Assess the compatible materials for a selected manufacturing process considering a wide range of constraints
