| 1. | Evaluate the different mechanical properties of engineering materials, how each is measured and how each is used in engineering design and practice. |
| 2. | Describe and apply the physical basis for the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials. |
| 3. | Conduct tensile, shear and impact tests on material samples and determine the main mechanical properties from the data obtained. |
| 4. | Critically analyse how engineering materials fail through overload, fatigue and exposure to the environment. This will help understand maintenance requirements and inspection cycles for the structure. |
| 5. | Select appropriate materials for a given application having regard to mechanical properties, fabrication and the relevant standards. |
| 6. | Use effective oral, written, numeric and communication methods to convey ideas and principles. |
