Course Description

This unit defines the skills and knowledge required for applying basic formal material selection procedures for engineering and manufacturing applications involving common engineering materials, including metals, polymers, composites and ceramics. Selection is undertaken within design requirements and guidelines and includes working within limits and critical constraints for material selection. The unit builds on the introductory materials skill and knowledge provided in MEM30007 Select common engineering materials and provides a basis for more in-depth technical and para-professional study of the properties and application of each material family in engineering and manufacturing.

The unit applies to engineering and manufacturing applications, including mass production, batch production, jobbing and prototyping.
