Engineering (Mechanical).
Subject aims and description
The course aims to give students an understanding of the
place humans occupy in the industrial environment and to
develop an awareness of the relationships between humans
and the workplace and to establish a broad understanding
of ergonomics with an introduction to the indentification
and assessment of common industrial ergonomic problems.
Ergonomics systems concepts: lntroduction to ergonomics,
applications and scope of ergonomics, ergonomics
modelling. Human body. Functional anatomy: excitable cells,
skeletal muscle, vision, hearing, tactile senses, CNS aspects,
motor behaviour. Work physiology: limits to work capacity,
cardio-respiratory adjustments, thermo-regulation response to
stress. Engineering psychology: characteristics of human
memory, short term, long term, recognition vs recall,
forgetting, vigilence and attention concepts applied to
monitoring and inspection tasks. Physical environment
factors: influence of heat, light, noise, acceleration and
vibration on human performance, gross measures of physical
factors. Human-environment-workplace interface: spatial
requirements and the relationship to anthropometric
measures, display and control characteristics interactions
between the operator and the machine, workplace
assessment methods, checklists. Work organisation: skills
analysis, task analysis, work measurement methods.

MM270 Manufacturing Technology and
CAD/CAM
NO. of hours per week: two hours for two
semesters
Subject aims and description
This subject is a second-year subject in the School of
Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
This subject is comprised of a CADICAM section (of theory
and hands on) and a lecture based manufacturing
technology section, each occupying one semester.
Assessment of the two sections will be completed on a
semester basis, with the manufacturing technology section
being assessed by examination and assignment and the
CADICAM section being assessed by separate assignments in
CAD and CAM and submitted reports on the CAM hands-on
work.
The subject aims to provide students with an understanding
of some of the fundamental technologies employed in
manufacturing industry. Students will develop an
appreciation of the principles underlying these technologies,
how they are applied, and how they affect product cost and
quality.
Students will also be introduced to the principles of
computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided
manufacture (CAM), and through hands on exercises, begin
to develop skills in the application of CADICAM.
