No. of hours per week: three hours
Instruction: lectures, tutorials, laboratory work
Assessment: examination 80%, reports 20%
Subject aims and description
This subject is intended to give students an understanding of
the behaviour of building materials such as timbers, bricks and
blocks, cement and concrete, bituminous materials so that
they can determine whether traditional materials are being
2 used correctly and appraise new materials.

MMZO~ Engineering Practices
No. of hours: totals forty-eight hours
Subject aims and description
This subject provides students with an introduction to current
engineering trade practices and the development of personal
elementary hands-on skills in these trades.
Students normally attend a week block of full-time
Engineering Practices in one non-teaching time prior to the
start of second semester. Groups will be arranged to suit the
current University calendar.
The syllabus is comprised of lectures, demonstration of specific
trade skills and techniques, and completion of hands-on
practical work in basic TAFE trade subjects:
NE049 Programmable Controllers (sixteen hours)
NB809 Metal Fabrication and Welding (sixteen hours)
NB806 Machining (sixteen hours)
Electrical/Electronic Systems (twelve hours)
Machine Shop (twelve hours)
Welding (twelve hours)
No. of hours per week: four hours for one
semester
Assessment: exam, practical work, assignments
Subject aims and description

Students will be introduced to fluid mechanisms, covering fluid
properties, fluid statics, momentum, energy. Applications will
include flow measurement techniques.
This subject comprises:
Thermodynamics (two hours per week)
Fluid mechanics (two hours per week)
Thermodynamics:
Revision of non-flow processes with gases.
Revision of steady flow processes with gases and liquids.
Real gases
Second law of thermodynamics.
Reversibility.
Entropy of gases, liquids and vapours, T-S and h-s charts.
Vapour compression refrigeration.
