House Keeping
Lecture 1 (1 hour class) Monday (11am12pm), here Lecture 2 (2 hour class) on
- Wednesday (3-5pm) Rex Vowels, / - Thursday (6-8pm), ME203

Tutorial classes (6 parallel sessions) for exercises and group activities, starting next week Tutorial 2 (5-6pm, Thursday), optional

Course Brief
- Second design course among four/five (ENGG1000/MMAN1130, MMAN2100, MECH3110, MECH4100 for Mechanical program students; non-Mechanical students later head to their particular design courses from 3rd year). - Focus for practical design considerations and approaches via design exercises and project.

Course Brief
- Tutorial exercises are part of the learning activities in the course (in your enrolled Tute) - CAD exercise/assessment in week 3 & 4 same time as your tutorial but in ME306 - Tutorial 2 class (5-6pm Thursday, ME203) for general discussion including possible specific topics (TBA. eg. Week 2: Warman Discussion)

Course Brief
- Warman project in MMAN2100 - Project description (Warman rules) - Project group (3-4 members from same tutorial class, to be submitted in tutorial class, week 2) - Discussion forum on Blackboard
Group General (email is the tool if you want quick response, face to face conversation is how you receive more than Yes/No answers)

Course Brief
- Course timetable (Course outline)
If you downloaded the Outline from the School website, update it from the Blackboard

- CAD Program
Solidworks is the one you learnt and will be using. Solidworks is being taught in MMAN1130 (time & location? Consult Sami Kara in ME307 for details if interested)

Course Brief
- Assessments (written submission by 11am to ME G06 or before this lecture in the due week unless otherwise specified, later submission penalty: 10%/day but no mark given after work returned to students) Individual submission (15%) Group work (60%) with Peer Review (40% of achieved group results up to 24 marks). Do not aim for that adjustment by doing all the work yourself. You may not have much to adjust! Final exam (25%)

Course Brief
- Difference to 2009/2010
Reintroduce Warman Most of the off-the-shelf items moved to MECH3110 More emphasis on practical considerations

Course Brief
- Approaches
Lectures provide technical knowledge (put hand up whenever you need clarification) Tutorials facilitate practices of the learnt contents (participation vital) Projects enforce practical realisation of the design (start early, plan wise) Blackboard supplements resources provided (NOT a substitute of lectures/tutorials!) Final exam validates the learning (partially)
