What this paper is about
This course will allow students, at an advanced level, to experience the concept of Materials Science/Engineering. The emphasis, where possible, will be relevant to New Zealand conditions and will reflect the increasing demand required by industry in areas such as microstructure modification, new materials, fabrication techniques and engineering materials.
How this paper will be taught
This paper is taught through lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions at the Hamilton campus.
Laboratory sessions: The laboratory experiment schedule is scheduled to be announced during week 2 of trimester.
Laboratory work forms a very important part of the Materials 2 paper and attendance of 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.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
This paper facilitates the development of technical writing, an important competency expected of a scientist and engineer. Learning outcomes will be assessed by means of a combination of tests, laboratory reports and a final exam.
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.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
