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 Laboratory Sessions.

Practical Laboratory Sessions: Two hour long Practical sessions to be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (between 11am-1pm) from the 4th week of Trimester A. Laboratory groups are to be assigned during the 1st two weeks of Trimester A. Students are expected to attend one laboratory session every 2 weeks on their group's allocated day and complete all four experiments.

IMPORTANT NOTE for students - Laboratory Handbook

Please collect the Laboratory Handbook required for this paper, from the Waikato Print Shop during the 1st two weeks of teaching. A printing fee is charged to the student on collection of the handbook.

Laboratory Session Worksheets and Laboratory Reports are 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.
