Description
The module will introduce and allow students to apply metrological concepts. It wil allow students to interpret and apply geometric tolerancing and dimensioning. The application of coordinate measuring machines will also be examined. The module will enable students to predict the properties of engineering alloys based on material composition and heat treatment. They will then employ materials testing methods to measure these properties and examine engineering components for flaws.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Predict alloy microconstituent fractions, microstructures and phases based on composition and heat treatment.
2.
Select heat treatment processes and material compositions to create specific material properties including strength, toughness and hardness, especially of tool materials.
3.
Employ materials tests, including non-destructive tests, to determine material properties and component flaws.
4.
Describe and apply basic metrological concepts such as precision, accuracy, bias, resolution, repeatability and reproducibility; metrological measurements using optical methods and measurement of surface finish.
5.
Interpret and apply tolerancing, including geometric dimensioning & tolerancing.
6.
Examine and apply the use of coordinate measuring machines in metrology.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Fulltime
The theoretical and background material will be presented through a series of lectures. Application of the theory will be demonstrated in class and understanding demonstrated through ongoing laboratory sessions and assignments.
Online
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. The theoretical and background material will be presented through a series of online lectures. Application of the theory will be demonstrated through an end of semester laboratory session and ongoing assignments.
Module Assessment Strategies
Theory and some applied elements will be assessed in a final exam. Practical elements will be assessed based on laboratory and written reports.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment will involve a final exam and resubmission of reports or practicals as determined by the lecturer.

This Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testing presents the principles of Metrology the science of measurement and the methods and techniques of Testing determining the characteristics of a given product as they apply to chemical and microstructural analysis, and to the measurement and testing of materials properties and performance, including modelling and simulation.The principal motivation for this Handbook stems from the increasing demands of technology for measurement results that can be used globally. Measurements within a local laboratory or manufacturing facility must be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world.The book integrates knowledge from basic sciences and engineering disciplines, compiled by experts from internationally known metrology and testing institutions, and academe, as well as from industry, and conformity-assessment and accreditation bodies.The Commission of the European Union has expressed this as there is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards.
