EG-108 Engineering SustainabilityCredits: 10 Session: 2016/17 Semester 1 (Sep-Jan Taught)Module Aims: To understand what sustainability is, why it is important and how engineering can be carried out in asustainable way.

“sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability offuture generations to meet their own needs.” (Bruntland Commission, UN, 1987)

The three “pillars” of sustainability are protection of the environment, stable and profitable business economics and ahealthy society. The module aims to inspire engineers through good case studies and to show how engineers cancontribute to all three aspects of this “triple bottom line”.

EG-183 Materials ResourcesCredits: 10 Session: 2016/17 Semester 1 (Sep-Jan Taught)Module Aims: Materials resources are and always have been a controlling factor in economic and social humandevelopment. This course assumes no prior knowledge and explores the development of materials exploitation fromthe earliest times illustrating how the availability of resources and the ingenuity of humankind to exploit and extractnew materials has allowed the evolution of our modern world. In historical terms, materials exploitation has alwaysbeen related to economic growth or military needs.

Each casestudy will focus on a particular engineering material, component or structure. Within each case study, students will bepresented with some initial material, along with suggested links to further information. Students will then undertakeindependent study either individually or in groups, with a final report presented on the findings. In some case studies,presentations will be part of the assessment. The specific case studies will include engineering design, materialsselection for bicycle frames, failure analysis, materials characterisation techniques and the design of sports equipment.Pre-requisite Modules:Co-requisite Modules:Incompatible Modules:Format: Lectures: 10 hours

Assessment Description: The specific case studies will be:

1 - Engineering design, considering form, structural requirements and manufacturing (30% of module grade).

2 and 3 - Materials Selection. This will use the CES Edupack software which will enable students to consider designrequirements for specific example components, in terms of strength, stiffness, toughness, cost, density, ease and costof manufacturing etc (30% of module grade).

4 - Failure Analysis. This will focus on a real-life example of catastrophic materials failure. Students will consider thecauses of failure, and whether it was a design, materials selection or manufacturing fault (20% of module grade).

5 - Forensic Materials Techniques (for Materials Students) or Optimum materials for sports equipment (for SportsMaterials). (20% of module grade).Moderation approach to main assessment: Second marking as sampling or moderationFailure Redemption: Additional coursework will be set during the summer vacation that must be completed by theend of the supplementary examination period.Assessment Feedback: Students will receive feedback within 2 weeks of submitting their pieces of coursework. Thiswill take the form of either detailed comments written on the submitted work or generic statements stating what wasexpected for the coursework.

Module Content: Engineering Design Case Study:This follows a series of case studies as given in the course text. This covers a wide range of subjects includingconceptual design, innovation, standardisation, reliability, safety, failure, ergonomics, materials and management.Students will work in multi-disciplinary groups to formulate design concepts and then to refine detail.

Materials Selection Case Study:Materials selection case study will introduce the philosophy of selection of materials in the design process and teachthe use of a materials selection software, CES Educpack. In the practical classes, students will be introduced to deignproblems involving selection of appropriate materials and manufacturing processes in a range of practicalapplications. Assessment will involve two components of coursework including the identification of materialinformation and data as well as solving design and selection related problems using the CES Edupack software.

Failure Analysis Case Study:The case study is real example of catastrophic failure in service. The cause of failure will be examined during thecourse of practical classes in which groups of students will analyse the failed component via Optical and Scanningelectron microscopy, energy dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy and hands on visual inspection. In addition, other siteinformation and personal statements will be reviewed.The component will be assessed on the basis of report into an engineering failure of the students choice that isexpected to demonstrate knowledge and application of the techniques and skills developed during the course of thetaught and practical classes. As all failure investigations rely heavily on functioning as part of a team, this will beassessed as a group exercise.

Materials Characterisation Case Study:The case study is an example of Forensic Polymer Engineering, based on investigation of an in-service materialsfailure in relation to a possible legal action. It includes:Presentation of initial evidence.Introduction to Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Differential ScanningCalorimetry and tear strength testing, both theoretically and through practical demonstrations.Provision of data from these techniques for the case being investigated.The student is required to produce a report assessing the liability in the case, using analysis of the data provided andbackground research.

Sports Materials Case Study Syllabus:This will involve a group activity whereby students will consider the optimum materials, design and manufacture forsporting equipment, specifically for the safe re-introduction of jousting as a competitive sport. Groups will considervarious parts of the equipment separately; helmets, shields, lances and body armour. It will be important to relatedesigns to similar equipment used in current sports.

Assessment Description: Examination (80%)Two laboratory practical assessments (10% each)Moderation approach to main assessment: Second marking as sampling or moderationFailure Redemption: A supplementary examination will form 100% of the module mark.Assessment Feedback: Written feedback based on cohort performace will be made available for exam questions' or'Individual written feedback will be provided alongside the marking scheme used to assess the coursework'Module Content: BiomechanicsHuman centre of gravity and stability : static and dynamic balance and stability of the human body. Planes and axes ofreference.Location of human centre of gravity (CG) : the use of reaction board and anthropometric data to analyse human CG.Fluid friction: introduction to fluid friction, Cd factor, Magnus effect and aerodynamics.The human gait cycle: 2-D analysis of ground reaction force, active and passive loading, absorption and propulsionphases.Introduction to angular motion: classification of skeletal lever systems, internal and external forces, moments. Radianmeasure and the conservation of angular momentum in sport.TechnologySensor technology and performance. Specification of sensor performance.Force platforms and force sensors.Intended Learning Outcomes: At the end of the module the learner is expected to be able to:

1. Empirically determine human centre of gravity using a number of methods.2. Differentiate concentric, eccentric muscle actions.3. Analyse 1-D and 2-D kinematic and kinetic human activity4. Apply modern technology to the study of kinetics and human walking gaitReading List: Watkins, James, Fundamental biomechanics of sport and exercise [print and electronic book] / JamesWatkins, Routledge, 2014.ISBN: 9780415815086Additional Notes: PENALTY: The College of Engineering has a ZERO TOLERANCE penalty policy for latesubmission of all coursework and continuous assessment, including non-attendance at designated assessed labs.
