Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
Why are some materials as hard as nails, soft as putty, tough as old boots or as strong as an ox (!?) and how can they be improved? This paper explores the wonderful world of materials science and engineering.

Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper is taught through Lectures and Practical labs.

Practicals: Four 2 hour sessions run at one session per week. Practical sessions to be held on Wednesdays or Fridays (between 9am-1pm) from the 2nd week of Semester A with students cycled through the labs. Lab groups are to be assigned during the 1st week of Semester A.

IMPORTANT NOTE for students - Laboratory Handbook

Please collect the Laboratory Handbook required for this paper, from the Waikato Print Shop during the first week of teaching. A printing fee is charged to the student on collection of the handbook.

Laboratory work forms a very important part of the Materials 1 paper and attendance at laboratory sessions is compulsory.

Important Note for International Students: For international students in New Zealand under student visas, regular attendance is part of your visa obligation and is checked as a requirement on the University under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, to which the University is a signatory. Academic staff are formally required to monitor attendance in classes and submission of compulsory assessment events/items and to report to Waikato International in the event that any problem with irregular attendance or non-submission is not resolved.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

This paper facilitates the development of technical writing, an important competency expected of a scientist and engineer. In order to pass this paper, students are expected to demonstrate their ability to produce written work of an adequate standard. Learning outcomes will be assessed by means of a combination of tests, laboratory reports and a final exam.
