Assessment Information Duration and/or due date 30/09/2018 (2 Weeks after the prac is concluded) Task instructions Summary and Purpose of Assessment: This unit of competency covers the skills needed to interpret design information for material and material test requirements, select appropriate tests and use results in the selection of appropriate materials for mechanical and manufacturing engineering-related applications. You must demonstrate an understanding of: • Distinguish classes of materials, based on properties and materials tests, relevant to mechanical and manufacturing engineering • Utilise sources of information on engineering materials, materials tests and test equipment • Test for or obtain the properties of engineering materials • Select and implement materials for mechanical/ manufacturing engineering applications • Document materials design data and methods and results of materials tests What and where: This is an individual based practical report assessment. How: Students will be assessed according to the criteria outlined in the Criteria for Assessment below. All criteria identified must be addressed to satisfactorily complete this Assessment Task.

Plagiarism is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person as though it is one’s own. It is a form of cheating and is a very serious academic offence that may lead to expulsion from the University. Plagiarised material can be drawn from, and presented in, written, graphic and visual form, including electronic data, and oral presentations. Plagiarism occurs when the origin of the material used is not appropriately cited. 2. RMIT special consideration is to enable you to maintain your academic progress despite adverse circumstances. The process for special consideration can be found at http://www1.rmit.edu.au/students/specialconsideration 3. Students with a disability or long-term medical or mental health condition can apply for adjustments to their study and assessment conditions (Reasonable Adjustments and Equitable Assessment Arrangements) by registering with the Equitable Learning Services (ELS) at https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services If you already registered with ELS and your study plan is approved, please inform your teacher if this assessment task is not adjusted in line with approved study plan. Additional Instructions to Students: 1. Performance requirement: a. Satisfactory (S) performance ≥ 50% weightage b. Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS) performance < 50% weightage results from this assessment will count towards the final grade only if the result is satisfactory (s) and will be worth 40% of the final grade

checklist actions to be observed and the standard expected marking guide: experiment – the determination of physical and mechanical properties of fibre-composite materials this assessment task will evaluate the nature of a chopped-strand spray random lay-up fibre composite material. this laboratory will examine the composition ratio of fibre to matrix after manufacture and its flexural behaviour and strength. this laboratory should be of around one hour duration. the report that you will write will be of approximately 1500 words and should follow the layout as indicated in guidelines for writing laboratory reports that can be found in canvas. word-process your report and submit the report in a folder as indicated in the guide. tabulate all data in your results section and provide full calculations in your appendix. as this is a practical session, students must not wear thongs, sandals or open toe shoes. the key element of this assessment task is your analysis of the results and interpretation through mathematical calculation the strengths of the materials being tested. astm and as standards are to be utilised and appropriate sections of the standards quoted and referenced where required, i.e., “the test method used” task activity marks performance criteria 1 presentation: layout: use of page numbers, chapter page and heading, figure numbers, table/s identification as
