MAT 602 – Case Study Aims 1 ⚫ Develop ideas concerning materials selection ⚫ Consider how geometry and materials choices impact manufacturing options ⚫ Develops an appreciation of cost considerations both from a standpoint of material costs and capital requirements ⚫ Highlights the role of volume of manufacture on the cost calculation
MAT 602 - Materials Selection in Design
MAT 602 – Case Study Objectives 1 ⚫ To develop simultaneous engineering concepts ⚫ During design - the selection of material and the choice of manufacturing routes are interrelated and interdependent operations

Examination Assessment 1 ⚫ Your exam will include 2 sections: A. Multiple Choice (from the whole course) B. Completion Answers (taken from from my lectures and the case studies)
⚫ Every student should therefore make comprehensive notes
on each case study ⚫ If you do not know it by the end of term then you will not know it by the time of the exam

Assessment 1 ⚫ The students will be expected to submit the following at the completion of the project: ⚫ A short 4 page maximum length report including supporting evidence. Submitted electronically by one group member before 4pm the day before the presentation using QM+. ⚫ An 7 minute maximum oral presentation. Submitted electronically by one group member on QM+ before 9am on the date of the presentation. ⚫ This work will be assessed to generate a group mark, which is then moderated by the feedback from a formal peer review process completed at the conclusion of the project.
