Quiz = Computer Based Testing: Typically consists of practice mode (iTester) and assessment mode (Moodle).
Exam = Written test submitted on paper, all working shown neatly.
* Suggested co-requisite - esp for early tests such as 10201 FBD and 10202 Adding Forces.
** Official pre-requisite rather amiss. All of the mathematics in this unit is covered in compulsory Maths MEM300012A.

ASSESSMENT
(*CAUTION: This subject contains two unofficial pre-requisites: MEM30005A Forces and MEM30006A Stresses. MEM30005A must be done prior (pre-requisite), but MEM30006A can be done concurrently (co-requisite) Assessment is a combination of multiple choice tests, written tests, and submitted reports (print/email).
- Lab Reports: Specification for lab reports. (Including error analysis where required)
- Project Reports: Specification for project reports.
- TESTER
tasks: Computer based learning and assessment using the
TESTER program.
Procedures and rules. For most computer-based assessments, homework must be presented before Tester (exam mode) can be attempted. In some cases, certain programs (e.g. Excel) are excluded from running with Tester during an exam.
This unit applies basic scientific principles and techniques in mechanical and manufacturing engineering situations, covering three branches of mechanics - Dynamics, Fluids and Thermodynamics.

Glossary (Range Statement)
Engineering mechanics tasks | Engineering mechanics tasks covered by this unit include, but are not limited to: • application of resultant loads and reactions on machines, support frames and beams • application of the torque and power required to drive translation screws and winding drums against inclined and vertically suspended loads subject to gravitation, acceleration and friction resistance loads • selecting a range of standard hardware, such as shafts, bolts and hooks, subject to plane axial or shear stresses and deformation limits • analysing bending and shear stresses in beams subject to static point and distributed loads |
Motions | Motions described in this unit may be of constant velocity, constant acceleration or sinusoidal accelerations (e.g. sprung bodies). Other non-uniformly accelerated motions may be described for contrast only. This unit confines itself to 2-D plane motion |
