• Develop an appreciation of surface engineering methods available and enhancing the surface properties of components by recommending the most appropriate surface engineering processes
• Demonstrate an understanding in the manufacturing of metal components by recognising the processes and calculating the forces required to produce such components

Teaching Methods:

Lectures (36 hrs), Tutorials (18 hrs) and Laboratory work (6 hrs)

Assessment:

Class presentations(5-10%), Assignments (5-10%), Examinations (50-60%), Lab Reports(15-20%)

Generic Skills Outcomes:

• Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals
