<p>This unit introduces students to the field of engineering materials and modern manufacturing processes. Students will explore the structure, properties, and applications of metals, and understand how material selection influences product performance and sustainability. The unit also covers key manufacturing techniques—including casting, forming, machining, joining, and additive manufacturing—along with quality control and process optimisation. Emphasis is placed on linking material behaviour to manufacturing decisions for efficient and innovative engineering design.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
