First Cycle Programmes (Bachelor's Degree)

Course Coordinator

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR BAHADIR UYULGAN

Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

The course aims to explain how an industrial product is obtained and at what stage of designing the material selection is taken into consideration. It also aims to teach how the suitable materials are selected for the components of the designed item, and materials standards and property data sources. A term time "team project work" related to mechanical design and material selection is aimed to provide a practice on project management as well as material selection.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To know the steps of design for a new product, and defining a concept for designing a product,
2   To know the necessity of materials suitable for a component of defined functions,
3   To know the description, the measurement and data sources of material properties,
4   To describe the different classes of materials, and know the properties and behaviour of different classes,
5   To be able to determine the material index and select suitable material using selection diagrams,
6   To explain the effect of shape and shaping process on material selection,
7   To know project management,
8   To be able to present a project orally and in the written form.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Lecturing and project based learning. Students of 3 or 4 form term project teams and carry out a design project with material selection. The project work is presented orally and in the written form by the team on the due date.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

Midterm exams and final exams related to learning outcomes are given as usual closed book and closed notes written exams. Homework grade will also be included in the term time assessment.

Assessment Criteria

Midterm exam results and homework grades will make up term time grade, which will be added to the contribution of the final exam result to determine the course grade.

Language of Instruction

Turkish

Course Policies and Rules

Students must attend the lecture periods (minimum attendance requirement is 70%). The use of MP3 player, cell phone and ear phones are not allowed during class and during exams. The programmable high memory calculators should not be used during exams.
Homework must be handed in on the due date. Any copying evidence in homework and exams will result in a grade of zero, and lead to disciplinary action.
