Chemistry and Materials
Subject aims
To introduce all engineering students to the concepts in
chemistry and materials technology and their application in the
processing of engineering materials.
Subject description
This subject uses basic concepts in chemistry and materials
technoloqv in order to understand the behaviour and
properti&of materials. Students are introduced to a range of
.manufacturing methods used in the processing of materials.
In particular the chemistry topics relate to both energy systems
and materials. Material presented in this subject has been
chosen largely on the basis of maximising the educational
benefit to all students regardless of the course pursued in later
years.

Subject aims
The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the
fundamentals of engineering drawing standards used for
graphical communication, and to guide them in developing the
required skills and abilities for presenting their design ideas
either as sketches or finished drawings by using the drawing
board or a CAD system. Furthermore, the subject aims at
introducing the students to 3D spatial relationships and
graphical methods for solving engineering problems.
Subject description
The topics covered during the year refer to orthographic
projection, auxiliary projection, relationships of points and
lines in three dimensional space, intersections of solid objects,
development of surfaces, detail drawings, assembly drawings,
civil engineering conventions, electrical and electronic
engineering conventions, mechanical engineering conventions,
graphical presentations and graphical solutions to engineering
problems, and engineering drawing analysis.
The subject is taught on both the drawing board and CAD
system. Equal time is given to each method of drawing while
an effort is made to coordinate the topic coverage in order to
highlight their part~cular advantage. Each topic is covered by
an introductory part followed by a hands-on exercise to
reinforce the theory. Out of class assignments are also an
integral part of this subject.
