Paper Description
This paper applies the fundamentals theory taught in ENGEN110, ENGEN111 and ENGEN180 to explain the operational principles of electrical and mechanical machines. The principles will be applied to solve engineering problems. Problem-based learning is used in conjunction with experimentation to compare theory to real machine behaviors. This paper covers analysis of machine systems and selection of power sources and matching transmission components. Important power transmission components are covered including gearboxes, gears, chains, belts, couplings, shafts, clutches, brakes, bearings, pneumatics and hydraulics.
Paper Structure
Students attend a 1 hour lecture and a 3 hour laboratory/problem solving session each week.
This paper emphasizes practical application of the theoretical knowledge through experimentation and problem solving during the laboratory session.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

The course materials will be available through moodle and a discussion forum will be available to get support from peer.
Please refrain from using email to communicate problems related to the paper. Any problems related to this paper should be channelled through the moodle forum.
Workload
Students are expected to spend a total of 150 hours over 12 weeks on this paper.
The recommended average weekly workload is
- 1 hour preparation for lecture
- 1 hour to attend lecture
- 3 hours on laboratory work or problem solving session
- 3 hours design, preparing laboratory submission or solving given problems
- 2 hours of background reading (recommended texts) and solve additional practice problems in the recommended texts
The remaining hours will be used for examination preparation
