In Sem 2 2022, this course is on campus with remote adjustments only for participants with unavoidable travel restrictions/visa delays.
This subject introduces the top down and bottom up processes for manufacturing of advanced materials. The course will discuss current techniques in materials manufacturing, including solid/liquid/gaseous-state synthesis and crystal growth, thin film technology, polymer processing and 3D print, additive manufacturing and device fabrication. This course will discuss how to shape the nanomaterials, thin films, bulk materials and flexible materials for different applications. The course will also discuss future developments of technologies and sustainable methods of manufacturing and recycling.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Critically analyse fundamental elements of a range of complex processing techniques needed to independently create advanced materials.
- Demonstrate expert autonomous judgement on the most appropriate manufacturing processes and materials for given products.
- Critically evaluate the complex considerations involved in sustainable materials design.
- Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the advantages and limitations of different manufacturing methods.
- Develop specialised skills in advanced experimental techniques and expert knowledge in materials science.
Indicative Assessment
- Laboratory / Workshop reports (50) [LO 1,5]
- Mid-semester assignment (25) [LO 2,3]
- Final exam (25) [LO 3,4]
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
Workload
The expected workload will consist of approximately 130 hours throughout the semester including:
