What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
This paper applies the fundamentals theory taught in ENGEN110, ENGEN111 and ENGEN180 to understand the operational principles of electromechanical machines and power transmission mechanisms. 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 and pneumatics.

How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content
Students attend 2 one hour lectures and a 2 hour laboratory/problem solving session each week. The lecture slots may be used as problem solving session depending on the topic being discussed. This paper emphasizes practical application of the theoretical knowledge through experimentation and problem solving during the laboratory session.

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content
Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
Edit How you will be assessed Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 50% or 0% of the overall mark.
