Mid-Term Exam: The midterm 1(10%) will be conducted on week 5-6 of the semester. The midterm 2 (15%) will be on week 10-11. A total of questions 3-4 questions of approximately 90 minutes duration. Laboratory: There will be weekly laboratory sessions. Students are required to submit a lab report for each experiment conducted. Attendance for the Laboratory sessions is compulsory. Failure to complete all Laboratory sessions may result in the failure of the subject. Assignments: 6-10 assignments will be given throughout the semester that will focus on learning outcomes related to knowledge & understanding, and intellectual skills. It is compulsory to submit all assignments; failing to do so may result in complete failure in the subject. Final Exam: The Final Exam will consist of 6 questions. Students must answer 5 of the 6 questions. The duration of the exam will be 3 hours. 50% ruling: Applicable Supplementary exam: Applicable (on the final exam only) Ms. Chu May Yen This unit aims to: 1. Introduce to students the concept of design and safe applications. 2. Introduce the students to the different types of stresses. 3. Provide students with the fundamental knowledge about the relations between stresses and strains. 4. Develop students ability to make design calculations for problems having stresses due to loads and due to temperature changes. 5. Familiarise the students with the mutual effect of axial and transverse stresses. 6. Develo p students ability to use the factors of safety in design. 7. Familiarise students with the use of designing charts and tables. Upon completion of this module, the student will be able to: 1. Understand and analyse the axial, shear, torsion and bending stresses and strains. 2. Understand and analyse the causes of stress concentrations and making use of the tables and charts. 3.
