1 About Automated Manufacturing

1.1 An Introduction to this Unit
The aim of this unit is to provide an introduction to the fundamentals of manufacturing operations, automation and
control technologies including numerical control and industrial robotics. In addition, material handling and identification
technologies will be discussed as well as manufacturing systems. The latter will examine single-station manufacturing
cells, manual assembly lines, automated production and assembly lines as well as flexible manufacturing systems.
Mechanical behaviour of common materials used in manufacturing will be studied, and their suitability for various
manufacturing processes including metal cutting, sheet-metal forming, bulk deformation and abrasion. Other
processes such as rapid prototyping and rapid tooling will also be included.
1.2 What is Expected of You

Study Load
For this 10 credit point unit, you are expected to study at least 10 hours per week outside of class time for 13 weeks
on this unit.
Attendance
It is strongly recommended that you attend all scheduled learning activities to support your learning in this unit.
Students with a poor attendance record may find themselves at risk of not passing assessment.
Online Learning Requirements

Unit materials will be made available on the units vUWS (E-Learning) site.
You are expected to consult vUWS at least twice a week, as all unit announcements will be made via vUWS.
Teaching and learning materials will be regularly updated and posted online.
Special Requirements for the Unit

Learning activities conducted in SCEM Computer Lab and Automated Machining Lab need you to dress properly
including closed shoes and bare feet or sandals are prohibited.
1.3 Changes to Unit as a Result of Past Student Feedback

Student feedback plays a vital role in improving the quality and educational effectiveness of UWS units and in
ensuring academic staff keep in touch with student needs. You are welcome to provide feedback that is related to the
teaching of this unit. At the end of the semester you will be given the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on
Unit (SFU) questionnaire to assess the unit. If requested by your unit coordinator, you may also have the opportunity
to complete a Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) questionnaire to provide feedback for individual teaching staff.
As a result of student feedback, the following changes and improvements have recently been made:

The practical sessions are optimally adjusted to make these sessions run much more smoothly by reducing
the waiting time for students to carry out tasks by providing more hands-on opportunities.
The SolidWorks-based CAD/CAM content in the Handbook for Practical Sessions is updated using the new
version of SolidWorks.

2 Assessment Information
2.1 Unit Learning Outcomes
Upon successfully completing this unit, students will be able to:
1
Apply the concepts of automation in manufacturing
Program a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool
Program a machine tool via a CAD-CAM interface
Describe the uses and advantages of computer Integrated Manufacturing
Describe the uses and advantages of flexible manufacturing processes
Explain the mechanics of material removal processes in machine cutting.
Explain the mechanics of material removal processes involving the application of abrasive
Explain the mechanics of material removal processes with non-traditional machinery
2.2 Approach to Learning

Lectures are utilised to deliver the fundamentals and theories of modern manufacturing to students and these teaching
activities will build a solid background for students to construct the skills needed to successfully complete tutorials,
computer labs, practical tasks and the examination of this unit.
Tutorials are designed to provide an interactive platform for the class to discuss key factors learnt and to practise
problem-solving of typical manufacturing problems. The tutorials will be conducted in the tutorial room. They will
greatly deepen the students understanding of concepts, theories and processes presented during the lectures and
further develop problem-solving skills, covering Learning Outcomes 1-8.
Practical sessions are designed to develop the hands-on skills on computer aided design (CAD), computer aided
manufacturing (CAM) using CAD/CAM software SolidWorks and SolidCAM, and practical operations on milling and
turning machines available in the CNC Machining Lab. Therefore there are two kinds of practical sessions in this unit:
a) Computer Lab Practicals (Prac A) which will be conducted in the Schools Computer Lab and you will work on the
tasks using CAD/CAM software; and b) CNC Machining Lab Practicals (Prac B) which are conducted in the Schools
CNC Machining Lab and you will work on the tasks using the milling and turning trainers.
These eight learning outcomes are measured through the tutorial assignments, practical tasks and the exam. Timely
feedback on tutorial assignments (within 2 weeks) will be given after the submission of the assignments to help
students understand weaknesses in their work and improve performance for the rest of the assignments.
Students must access the vUWS site regularly on a weekly basis to get the latest information published online in time.

2.7 General Submission Requirements

Submission
All assignments must be submitted by the specified due date and time, using a completed and signed
Assignment Cover Sheet provided in the last page of this document.
Complete your assignment, attach a completed and signed Assignment Cover Sheet, and follow the individual
assessment items instructions on how to submit.
Turnitin
The Turnitin plagiarism prevention system may be used within this unit. Turnitin is accessed via logging into
vUWS for the unit. If Turnitin is being used with this unit, this means that your assignments have to be
submitted through the Turnitin system.
Turnitin from iParadigms is a web-based text-matching software that identifies and reports on similarities
between documents. It is also widely utilised as a tool to improve academic writing skills.
Turnitin compares electronically submitted papers against the following:

o
Current and archived web: Turnitin currently contains over 24 billion web pages including archived
pages
Student papers: including UWS student submissions since 2007
Scholarly literature: Turnitin has partnered with leading content publishers, including library
databases, text-book publishers, digital reference collections and subscription-based publications
(e.g. Gale, Proquest, Emerald and Sage)
Turnitin is used by over 30 universities in Australia and is increasingly seen as an industry standard. It is an
important tool to assist students with their academic writing by promoting awareness of plagiarism
Self-Plagiarising
You are to ensure that no part of any submitted assignment for this unit or product has been submitted by
yourself in another (previous or current) assessment from any unit, except where appropriately referenced,
and with prior permission form the Lecturer/Tutor/Unit Co-ordinator of this unit.
Late Submission
If you submit a late assessment, without receiving approval for an extension of time, (see next item), you will
be penalised by 10% per day for up to 10 days. In other words, marks equal to 10% of the assignments
weight will be deducted from the mark awarded.
For example, if the highest mark possible is 50, 5 marks will be deducted from your awarded mark for each
late day.
Saturday and Sunday are counted as one calendar day each.
Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students.
This is consistent with Clause 51 of the University of Western Sydneys Assessment Policy Criteria and
Standards-Based Assessment.

A U T O M A T E D
S P R I N G 2 0 1 5
Extension of Due Date for Submission
It is expected that you submit your assignments on time. You are expected to manage the balance between
your studies and other activities (employment, family life, etc). Extensions are only granted in EXCEPTIONAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
If circumstances prevent you from meeting the due date, and you have relevant supporting documentary
evidence, you may request an extension for an assignment. To apply for an extension of time:
o
Locate an application form via the UWS homepage or copy the following link:
http://www.uws.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/118273/ARO_00205_0515_Request_for_Extension_WEB.pdf
o
Application forms must be submitted to the Coordinator.
A request for an assignment extension may be submitted before the due date of the assignment and
no later than 5:00pm two working days after the due date.
Appropriate, supporting documentation must be submitted with the application.
Submit the Request for Extension form as early as you can, because it may not be granted. If it is not
granted, and you submit your assignment after the due date, penalties will apply.
An application for an extension does not automatically mean that an extension will be approved
Your unit coordinator will advise the outcome of your request for an extension via your UWS student email
address, as soon as is practicable. The unit coordinator may contact you to discuss the matter further, if
necessary.
If your Request for Extension is not granted you will have to submit the assignment on time and, if you do not,
you will be penalised by losing marks for each calendar day that the assignment is overdue
Resubmission
Resubmission of assessment items will not normally be granted if requested.
Application for Special Consideration

It is strongly recommended that you attend all scheduled learning activities to support your learning. If you have
suffered misadventure, illness, or you have experienced exceptional circumstances that have prevented your
attendance at class or your completion and submission of assessment tasks, you may need to apply for Special
Consideration via the UWS website.
http://www.uws.edu.au/currentstudents/current_students/services_and_facilities/special_consideration2 or the Student
Centre. Special Consideration is not automatically granted. It is your responsibility to ensure that any missed content
has been covered. Your lecturer will give you more information on how this must be done.

5 Important Information
5.1 Student responsibilities and code of conduct
Student
responsibilities
Familiarise yourself with university policies on assessment and examinations. More information,
including links to the policies, can be found at section 5.3 of this Learning Guide
Ensure that you understand the requirements, including timetables, for examinations and other
assessments tasks.
Ensure you read and understand the assessment requirements and note the submission dates,
and seek assistance from the lecturer and/or unit coordinator when needed.
Notify relevant staff (e.g. lecturer, unit coordinator, disability adviser) as soon as possible prior
to, or at the beginning of, the semester to have special requirements accommodated.
Submit your own individual and unassisted assessment work, except as otherwise permitted.
Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data will be severely dealt with as per policy.
Behave ethically and appropriately, avoiding any action or behaviour which would unfairly
disadvantage or advantage another student. Where group work is assigned, ensure that every
group member has the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way to the assignment.
Student conduct
and behaviour
Attend all lectures, tutorials, practicals and workshops not attending these classes is often the
main cause of failure and low grades.
Respect the needs of other students who are participating in any class activities.
Pay attention in lectures, tutorials, practicals and workshops for key information on examinable
material.
Do not use mobile phones during the lectures, tutorials, practicals and workshops and do not
have ongoing conversations with fellow students during the lecture or if another student/tutor is
presenting work in any of the classes.
Please use electronic devices for taking notes and other class activities, not surfing the net or
checking email.
5.2 Staff responsibilities and code of conduct

Academic staff carry out their teaching responsibilities under the authority of the Dean of the School of Computing,
Engineering and Mathematics. The responsibilities of staff are outlined in the following table.
Staff responsibilities
Assess students' work fairly, objectively and consistently and when in doubt consult with the
unit coordinator or the discipline Director of Academic Programs.
Provide students with appropriate, helpful and explanatory feedback on all work submitted for
assessment.
Make reasonable accommodation (e.g. length of time to complete) in assessment tasks and
examinations for students with special requirements and to seek assistance from the Disability
Advisor and Counsellor where appropriate and needed.
Ensure deadlines for the submission of examination papers to the Academic Registrar are met.
Immediately report any issues or concerns related to student academic and non-academic
misconduct to the Director of Academic Programs.

5.3 Links to Policies

The University has a number of policies that relate to teaching and learning. Important policies affecting students
include:
Assessment Policy
Bullying Prevention Policy and Guidelines
Enrolment Policy (includes a section on the UWS Student Email Account)
Examinations Policy
Misconduct Student Academic Misconduct Policy (see extract below)
Misconduct Student Non-academic Misconduct Policy (see extract below)
Review of Grade Policy
Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
Special Consideration Policy
Teaching and Learning Fundamental Code
There are two policies that relate to misconduct academic and non-academic misconduct. Breaches of these
policies can have very serious consequences. It is essential that you are familiar with these policies and how to avoid
misconduct of any type.
What is academic misconduct?

Academic misconduct may involve plagiarism, collusion or cheating. Plagiarism involves submitting or presenting work
in a unit as if it were the student's own work when, in fact, it was not. Collusion includes inciting, assisting, facilitating,
concealing or being involved in plagiarism, cheating or other academic misconduct with others. Cheating includes
dishonest conduct (or attempted dishonest conduct) in exams.
For the full definition of academic misconduct and the consequences of such behaviour, you are advised to read the
Misconduct Student Academic Misconduct Policy.
There are many resources to help you avoid academic misconduct. Library staff can help you with referencing and the
Student Learning Unit can assist with academic writing and plagiarism. If you are unsure about any of your work you
should also ask your tutor or lecturer for advice and feedback.
What is non-academic misconduct?

Non-academic misconduct includes unlawful activities and crimes, falsifying documents (like a medical certificate or
academic records), harassing other students (or staff), stealing or damaging university property (like library books or
computers) and disrupting other students or staff. These are just some of the types of non-academic misconduct and
while these things are rare they do happen. If you believe you have been the victim of non-academic misconduct or
you are aware of any academic misconduct it is very important that you report it.
You should report all matters of non-academic misconduct directly to the School of Computing, Engineering and
Mathematics or Campus Security.
5.4 Raising concerns

If you have a concern about this unit, please contact your lecturer or tutor in the first instance. If the matter is not
resolved, then you may contact the unit coordinator (see inside front cover). If you would prefer to speak to someone
else, you are advised to contact the Director of Academic Program responsible for this unit. Please note the Director
of Academic Program may refer your concern to a delegate to investigate and to respond to you.
The University also has a confidential Complaints Resolution Unit (see link below). You may contact this unit of the
University at any time; however, we would appreciate the opportunity to resolve the complaint in the first instance.
