Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

This is the second part of your Coursework Assignment 1. Assignment 1 contributes 50% to

your final module mark, split equally between parts A (25%) and B (25%).

Please ensure that you retain a duplicate of your assignment. We are required to send

samples of student work to the external examiners for moderation purposes. It will also

safeguard in the unlikely event of your work going astray.

THE FOLLOWING LEARNING OUTCOMES WILL BE ASSESSED BY ASSIGNMENT 1:

Knowledge

an understanding of:

1. The shaping methods used in modern manufacturing.
2. The behaviour of the main classes of engineering materials and their processing

-related properties.

Skills

and the ability to:

4. Select the most appropriate manufacturing process for a particular

component.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You are required to submit your work within the bounds of the University Infringement of

Assessment Regulations (see your Programme Guide). Plagiarism, paraphrasing and

downloading large amounts of information from external sources, will not be tolerated and

will be dealt with severely. Although you should make full use of any source material, which

would normally be an occasional sentence and/or paragraph (referenced) followed by your

own critical analysis/evaluation. You will receive no marks for work that is not your own. Your

work may be subject to checks for originality which can include use of an electronic

plagiarism detection service.

Where you are asked to submit an individual piece of work, the work must be entirely your

own. The safety of your assessments is your responsibility. You must not permit another

student access to your work. Where referencing is required, unless otherwise stated, the

Harvard referencing system must be used (see your Programme Guide).

CES software is a tool designed to aid in the process of materials and manufacturing

process selection. You will be given clear instructions on how to use the software

prior to attempting this exercise. CES has two main functions. It can be used as:

(i) a d at a b as e of materials and processes

The software contains a great deal of very useful information about materials and

manufacturing processes. For instance, you might need to know about the

mechanical and thermal properties of low density polyethylene. Alternatively you

may want to find out about the engineering applications of silicon nitride, or

investigate the fundamentals of the hot isostatic pressing process. Other questions

which may be asked include:

• Which metal has the highest electrical conductivity?
• At what temperature does lead melt?
• What is the dielectric constant for borosilicate glass?
• How does the polymer extrusion process differ from injection moulding?
