Summary
This year long module introduces students to the properties of materials, the main failure mechanisms which a designer will be concerned with (e.g overload, fracture, creep, fatigue).and core manufacturing methods used in engineering applications. It includes the following topics:
- the role of materials and material properties in the design process.
- the selection and use of materials.
- the basic science underlying material properties and approaches to avoid failure of materials to provide the knowledge with which to design materials with better properties. For each property (or group of properties), a case study of practical design application will be addressed.
- an introduction to Manufacturing in the UK an introduction to high value – low volume and low value – high volume manufacturing processes including: casting, machining, moulding, forming, powder processing, heat treatment, surface finishing and assembly.
- an introduction into Additive manufacturing
- an introduction to Manufacturing metrology
Target Students
Students in the first year of the Department of M3, those outside the Department requiring an introduction to materials behaviour and manufacturing processes. NOTE: Erasmus/Socrates/Visiting students MUST take any relevant examinations for this module in Nottingham at the appropriate time with all other students in the cohort.Available to JYA/Erasmus students.
Classes
- One 3-hour practicum each week for 23 weeks

Educational Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce students to the properties of materials, the main failure mechanisms which a designer will be concerned with and the core high and low value manufacturing processes used in engineering applications.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1: Comprehend the basic attributes of materials related to their class (including failure) - AHEP4: M1 ; EAC: PO1
LO2: Describe a range of manufacturing processes; understand key engineering principles and apply them to analyse those manufacturing processes - AHEP4: M1 ; EAC: PO1
LO3: Apply the knowledge from LO1 and LO2 to fundamental design problems in other parts of the curriculum - AHEP4: M2, M12, M13 ; EAC: PO2
