Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:Understand the properties of Electronic Materials, Magnetic Materials, Optical Materials, and Metals and Their Alloys, and fundamental aspects of corrosion such as Kinetics Polarisation and Diffusion, Prediction of Corrosion, Active and Passive Behaviour and Types of Corrosion, Selective Attack and Localised Corrosion, and Corrosion Management and Control
The content seen in the course will prepare you for: Understand the basic properties of materials to be able to perform the right selection of materials for specific industrial applications; discuss the basic engineering principles of electrochemical engineering processes; apply failure analysis and select appropriate materials or relevant corrosion protection schemes for corrosion resistance; and demonstrate the basic aspects of advanced materials and their applications, such as electronic materials, optical materials and magnetic materials.
The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers 最新糖心Vlog . The course develops the following EA Elements of Competency to levels of introductory (A), intermediate (B), advanced (C):

Assessment
The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni.Assessment Task Weighting (%) Individual/ Group Formative/ Summative Due (week)* Learning outcomes Assignments 30 Group Formative TBD 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2 in class mid-term exams 20 Individual Formative TBD 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Student Feedback
The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
