400-101. INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
This subject Is divided Into a compulsory core and a selection of three units from a series of options.
SYLLABUS
(a) Compulsory Core
(Approximately 50 lectures with 70 hours of tutorial and practical classes) Topics Included are:
(1) General lectures, e.g. study methods, use of libraries, history, the language of graphs, the writing of reports.
(2) Descriptive Geometry, Engineering Drawing and Sketching — repre- sentational methods, points, lines, planes, orthographic and axono- metric projections, intersections and developments. Drawing technique, dimensioning, assembly drawings.
(3) The uses of Computational Devices — slide rule, calculators, com- puters.
(4) The Statics of Engineering Systems — forces, equilibrium, planar trusses, friction, section properties, beams, bending moments and shear forces, stress and strain, torsion.
(b) Options
Each unit consists of 20 hours' work, which may contain lectures, semin- ars, excursions or project work, and during which a topic of an engin- eering nature or related to engineering or of general interest to engin- eering students is examined in breadth. The topics offered are not fixed but the following are a selection of those recently available:
Acoustics and Noise
Beach Erosion and Coastal Processes Bridge Building
History of Ancient Science Introduction to Bio-engineering Law and the Engineer
Navigation
Rural Environmental Studies
Special Metals for Surgery and Dentistry
115
A list of the options available and any restrictions applicable will be advised during Orientation Week. Students will be asked to indicate their order of preference for the options available each term, and will then be allocated according to their stated preferences.
Applied Science (Electronics) students, however, should note that there are some limitations on the options available. Details will be given at the beginning of the year.
DRAWING OFFICE WORK
Three hours per week throughout most of the year.
Students must procure the following drawing requisites before the course commences:
Note: University students may claim exemption from sales tax on this equipment
1. Set of good quality drawing Instruments Including:
A large (say 15 cm) master bow with lengthening bar.
A small (say 10 cm or less) master bow with pencil attachment and divider points (or separate small pencil and divider spring bows).
2. One slide rule with ABCD, Sin, Tan, log-lag scales. (A 25 cm slide rule is suggested.)
3. Clear plastic set squares.
One 25-30 cm adjustable set square.
One 60 degrees set square, 25 cm size or larger.
4. One clear plastic protractor.
5. A set of French curves and a circle template.
6. Scales.
One 300 mm metric scale, graduated 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10.
7. A clutch pencil with refill leads, F, H, 4H and 6H.
8. One hard eraser, one artgum, one eraser shield.
9. One small fine file (10 cm smooth warding file) or sand paper block.
10. One roll of drafting tape.

EXAMINATION
The drawing office work and the options will be assessed during the year. One 3-hour paper on topics (3) and (4) of the core studies and one 11/2 hour paper on topic (2) of the core studies will be taken at 116
November Examinations. The final assessment will be for pass and honours and will be based on the performance in the options, In the drawing office and in the two examination papers. Students will be informed at the commencement of the year of the relative weight to be given to the various portions of the examination.
