Course Details
Units of Credit 6
Summary of the Course
This course will continue the development of a systematic approach to problem-solving and design that
commenced in earlier courses. It will focus on mathematical modelling for design applications; force flow
through components and assemblies; belt and chain drive design; rolling element bearing selection;
dynamically-loaded bolted connections and welded-joint design; shaft design and explore these ideas in
terms of practical applications.
Course Aims
This course will continue the development of a systematic approach to problem-solving and design that
commenced in earlier courses. The course follows from the introduction provided by
ENGG1000/DESN1000, extends the machine element design approach introduced in
MMAN2100/DESN2000 and provides an opportunity to apply the mechanical knowledge and techniques
gained from MMAN2400 and MMAN3400. Students will interact as part of a design team, while
developing design solutions for a realistic problem of reasonable size and complexity. The lecture topics
relate closely to assignment requirements with a balance between theory and practice. Assessment will
have a strong emphasis on practical design knowledge and skills as well as a high standard of
professional written and graphical communication. This will include researching information for design
assignments and searching for solutions as task specifications become less complete and more realistic.
Course Learning Outcomes
After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:

Teaching Strategies
This course attempts to approximate a typical design workplace environment in which accurate and
professional quality results are required against cost and time constraints, information is incomplete or
conflicting, and team interaction is essential.
Lectures in this course are designed to cover the terminology, core concepts and techniques in the
design of machines. They show how the various techniques are applied in practice and the details of
MECH3110 // Term 1, 2023 // published at 03-02-2023 © UNSW Sydney, 2023
5
when, where, and how they should be applied.
Workshops are designed to provide feedback and discussion on the assignments and to investigate
problem areas in depth. Workshop guidance will assist the student to develop the capacity to make
judgements based on sound engineering practice and solid theory. Students will be expected to seek out
the necessary information or ask for help.
Effective learning is supported when students actively engage in the learning process and by a climate of
enquiry. These are best achieved through learning activities like lectures and workshops using practical
examples combined with laboratory demonstrations and hands-on activities. Students become more
engaged in the learning process if they can see the relevance of their studies to professional, disciplinary
and/or personal contexts. This relevance is shown in all parts of the course through lectures and
assignments and by way of examples drawn from industry.
Additional Course Information
This is a 6 unit-of-credit (UoC) course and involves 8 hours per week (h/w) of scheduled contact.
For students enrolled in Online classes, these will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. For
students enrolled in Face-to-Face classes, please check your timetable on myUNSW for the time and
location of your classes.
The normal workload expectations of a student are approximately 25 hours per term for each UOC,
including class contact hours, other learning activities, preparation and time spent on all assessable
work.
You should aim to spend about 15 h/w on this course. The additional time should be spent in making
sure that you understand the lecture material, completing the workshop exercise questions and set
assignments, further reading.

Course Evaluation and Development
Feedback on the course is gathered periodically using various means, including the UNSW
myExperience process, informal discussion in the final class for the course, and the School’s
Student/Staff meetings. Your feedback is taken seriously, and continual improvements are made to the
course based, in part, on such feedback.
Recent improvements include:
assessment weightings were adjusted to more accurately capture the effort required.
workload reduced for specific deliverables of the prototyping assessment.
changed the format of the workshops from 1 x 2hr to 2 x 1hr to improve engagement and timely
support.

Submission of Assessment Tasks
Assessment submission and marking criteria
Should the course have any non-electronic assessment submission, these should have a standard
School cover sheet.
All submissions are expected to be neat and clearly set out. Your results are the pinnacle of all your hard
work and should be treated with due respect. Presenting results clearly gives the marker the best chance
of understanding your method; even if the numerical results are incorrect.
Marking guidelines for assignment submissions will be provided at the same time as assignment details
to assist with meeting assessable requirements. Submissions will be marked according to the marking
guidelines provided.
Late policy
Work submitted late without an approved extension by the course coordinator or delegated authority is
subject to a late penalty of five percent (5%) of the maximum mark possible for that assessment item,
per calendar day.
The late penalty is applied per calendar day (including weekends and public holidays) that the
assessment is overdue. There is no pro-rata of the late penalty for submissions made part way through a
day. This is for all assessments where a penalty applies.
Work submitted after five days (120 hours) will not be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for
that assessment item.
For example:
Your course has an assessment task worth a total of 100 marks (Max Possible Mark)
You submit the assessment on time and you get 60/100 (Awarded Mark)
You submit the assessment 1 day late and the late penalty of 5% per day is applied (5%
deducted/day from maximum possible mark for that assessment item)
Your adjusted final score is 55/100.
For some assessment items, a late penalty may not be appropriate. These are clearly indicated in the
course outline, and such assessments receive a mark of zero if not completed by the specified date.
Examples include:
1. Weekly online tests or laboratory work worth a small proportion of the subject mark, or
2. Online quizzes where answers are released to students on completion, or
3. Professional assessment tasks, where the intention is to create an authentic assessment that
has an absolute submission date, or
4. Pass/Fail assessment tasks.
Examinations
You must be available for all quizzes, tests and examinations. For courses that have final examinations,
these are held during the University examination periods: February for Summer Term, May for T1,
MECH3110 // Term 1, 2023 // published at 03-02-2023 © UNSW Sydney, 2023
13
August for T2, and November/December for T3.
Please visit myUNSW for Provisional Examination timetable publish dates. For further information on
exams, please see the Exams webpage.
Special Consideration
If you have experienced an illness or misadventure beyond your control that will interfere with your
assessment performance, you are eligible to apply for Special Consideration prior to submitting an
assessment or sitting an exam.
UNSW now has a Fit to Sit / Submit rule, which means that if you attempt an exam or submit a piece of
assessment, you are declaring yourself fit enough to do so and cannot later apply for Special
Consideration.
For details of applying for Special Consideration and conditions for the award of supplementary
assessment, please see the information on UNSW’s Special Consideration page.
Please note that students will not be required to provide any documentary evidence to
support absences from any classes missed because of COVID-19 public health measures such as
isolation. UNSW will not be insisting on medical certificates from anyone deemed to be a positive case,
or when they have recovered. Such certificates are difficult to obtain and put an unnecessary strain on
students and medical staff.
Applications for special consideration will be required for assessment and participation absences –
but no documentary evidence for COVID-19 illness or isolation will be required.
Special Consideration Outcomes
Assessments have default Special Consideration outcomes. The default outcome for the assessment will
be advised when you apply for Special Consideration. Below is the list of possible outcomes:
MECH3110 // Term 1, 2023 // published at 03-02-2023 © UNSW Sydney, 2023
14
Outcome Explanation Example
Time extension Student provided more time
to submit the assessment
e.g. 1 more week of time granted to submit a report
Supplementary
assessment
Student provided an
alternate assessment at a
later date/time
e.g. a supplementary exam is scheduled during the
supplementary exam period of the term
Substitute item The mark for the missed
assessment is substituted
with the mark of another
assessment
e.g. mark for Quiz 1 applied also applied as mark for
Quiz 2, meaning if a student achieved a mark of
20/30 for Quiz 1 and was granted Special
Consideration for Quiz 2, a mark of 20/30 would be
applied for Quiz 2, etc
Exemption All course marks are
recalculated excluding this
assessment and its
weighting
e.g. The course has an assessment structure of:
- Assignments 30%,
- Lab report 30%,
- Final Exam 40%.
If the Lab report is missed and student is granted
Special Consideration, then the assessment
structure may be reweighted as follows:
- Assignments 50%
- Final Exam 50%
as though the Lab report did not exist
Non-standard Course Coordinator is
contacted for the outcome
when special consideration
is granted as the outcome
differs on a case-by-case
basis
e.g. typical for group assessments where time
extension supplementary assessment could be
granted to the group member, time extension could
be granted to the whole group, etc. Clarify with your

Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
UNSW has an ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of learning informed by academic integrity. All
UNSW students have a responsibility to adhere to this principle of academic integrity. Plagiarism
undermines academic integrity and is not tolerated at UNSW. Plagiarism at UNSW is defined as using
the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your own.
Plagiarism is a type of intellectual theft. It can take many forms, from deliberate cheating to accidentally
copying from a source without acknowledgement. UNSW has produced a website with a wealth of
resources to support students to understand and avoid plagiarism, visit: student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism.
The Learning Centre assists students with understanding academic integrity and how not to plagiarise.
They also hold workshops and can help students one-on-one.
You are also reminded that careful time management is an important part of study and one of the
identified causes of plagiarism is poor time management. Students should allow sufficient time for
research, drafting and the proper referencing of sources in preparing all assessment tasks.
If plagiarism is found in your work when you are in first year, your lecturer will offer you assistance to
improve your academic skills. They may ask you to look at some online resources, attend the Learning
Centre, or sometimes resubmit your work with the problem fixed. However more serious instances in first
year, such as stealing another student’s work or paying someone to do your work, may be investigated
under the Student Misconduct Procedures.
Repeated plagiarism (even in first year), plagiarism after first year, or serious instances, may also be
investigated under the Student Misconduct Procedures. The penalties under the procedures can include
a reduction in marks, failing a course or for the most serious matters (like plagiarism in an honours
thesis) even suspension from the university. The Student Misconduct Procedures are available here:

Academic Information
Credit points
Course credit is calculated in Units-Of-Credit (UOC). The normal workload expectation for one UOC
is approximately 25 hours per term. This includes class contact hours, private study, other learning
activities, preparation and time spent on all assessable work.
Most coursework courses at UNSW are 6 UOC and involve an estimated 150 hours to complete, for both
regular and intensive terms. Each course includes a prescribed number of hours per week (h/w) of
scheduled face-to-face and/or online contact. Any additional time beyond the prescribed contact hours
should be spent in making sure that you understand the lecture material, completing the set
assignments, further reading, and revising for any examinations.
On-campus class attendance
**T3-2022 UPDATE**
Any offshore students who cannot attend activities which are timetabled to be delivered face to
face are advised to contact the course convenor to discuss their options. In most courses
coordinated by the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, especially core
courses, there is usually an online alternative.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Public distancing conditions must be followed for all face-to-face classes. To ensure this, only students
enrolled in those classes will be allowed in the room. No over-enrolment is allowed in face-to-face
classes. Students enrolled in online classes can swap their enrolment from online to on-campus classes
by Sunday, Week 1. Please refer to your course's Microsoft Teams and Moodle sites for more
information about class attendance for in-person and online class sections/activities.
Your health and the health of those in your class is critically important. You must stay at home if you are
sick or have been advised to self-isolate by NSW health or government authorities. Current alerts and a
list of hotspots can be found here. You will not be penalised for missing a face-to-face activity due
to illness or a requirement to self-isolate. We will work with you to ensure continuity of learning during
your isolation and have plans in place for you to catch up on any content or learning activities you may
miss. Where this might not be possible, an application for fee remission may be discussed. Further
information is available on any course Moodle or Teams site.
In certain classroom and laboratory situations where physical distancing cannot be maintained or there is
a high risk that it cannot be maintained, face masks will be considered mandatory PPE for students and
staff.
