One 2 hour Practical

Practical:  Engine Disassembly – 2 hrs. 

Hands-on Training: As part of the general Mechanical Engineering curriculum, all students in this course are required to complete two Hands-on Training workshops — "Hand Tools" and "3D printing".

Students must obtain course total of at least 50% to pass the course.
Students must obtain an exam mark of at least 40% to pass the course.
Students must obtain a practical mark of at least 50% to pass the course.

The practical is compulsory part of a course. Successfull completion of both Hands on Training components; Hand Tools and 3D Printing is required to obtain the practical mark. 

Design for Function Workshops – group reports
Design for Function Workshop -  online quizzes
Design Graphics online quizzes and assessments
Practical– assessment based on lab participation and a worksheet;
Final exam – open-book, 2 hours.

Workshop reports, Design Graphics Drawings and online quizzes are all are all submitted electronically though MyUni. A penalty for late submission will be applied – 10% per day including weekends. In special cases extensions can be granted on individual basis. A “turn-around” timeline on assessments and the provision of feedback to students is approximately 2 weeks.
