1 Introduction
This unit provides students with an entry level understanding of the basic practices of
industrial maintenance. The Unit Outline

4 Teaching and Learning Approach
4.1 Lectures and tutorials
Classes will be held on the Joondalup campus. Students should refer to their
timetable information (SIMO) for location and timing of classes. There is no
attendance taken in lectures and tutorials. Class hours for lectures may be used
to cover tutorial material. Likewise, tutorial class hours may be used for the
delivery of lecture materials (e.g., theory).

This unit is offered in on-campus study mode. As such, students are expected
to participate in all lectures, tutorials and practical sessions (where applicable)
as part of their overall engagement in this unit particularly if they wish to do
well.

Handouts and/or lecture slides will be made accessible (where available) via
MyECU. In this unit, the resources made available through MyECU are
intended to support your learning and do not reduce or replace the need to
actively participate in classes. Learning materials provided are intended for
personal (private) study and (only) summarise major points of sections
covered in the text book (or the sources cited). It is recommended that students
take hand written notes and follow/read the relevant text book sections (in-
full) to augment class coverage. On occasion, students may expect to make a
reasonable amount of external reading, outside the text book, as part of the
overall engagement in this unit. Information resources made available to
students, through ECU can be utilised here.

Tutorial work will require students to undertake self-study across a range of
topics. Students are expected to keep up with the weekly activities and should
anticipate having to undertake a reasonable amount of external reading as part
of the overall engagement in this unit. Information resources made available to
students, through ECU, can be utilised here.

4.2 Laboratory sessions
No laboratory is offered in this unit.

5 Teaching Staff Information
Your coordinator/lecturer/tutor for this unit is Dr Yasir Al-Abdeli
2
. His office is
located in building 5, room 5.248
3

6 Resources and Reading List
6.1 Textbook
There is no single prescribed text book for this unit. Teaching materials have
been drawn from several references in order to give you a rich blend of topics
that address all the unit coverage. The sources used for compiling the teaching
materials will however be identified in lecture slides.

6.2 Supporting texts and resources
The ECU library
4
holds an extensive array of materials that can support your
learning. These may be online or in-print format.

Where materials are available online (eBooks, eReserve, or databases) these
are designed for 24/7 access. eBooks are entire books that can be read online.
eReserve are selected materials that are kept in a special collection (by the
library). Copyright restrictions limit how much can be extracted from any
source and placed into eReserve. To access the eReserve collection for
ENS2170
5
you will also need your ECU username and password. Databases
contain online materials, mainly in the form of articles held in different
collections such as journals and magazines. These can be especially useful if
you are researching a specific topic. If you need more help on these issues,
please contact the library
6
.

6.3 MyECU and communication
The MyECU
7
web site for this unit is intended to support your learning and
will progressively be updated during the semester. Once you are in, the best
place to start exploring the MyECU site for this unit is to browse through the
Unit Overview section. You can access that through the tabs in the left panel at
the entry screen to the MyECU site for this unit.

MyECU provides a space for you to communicate with your peers (and
teaching staff) via a Discussion Board. This is like a public-like forum where
all students enrolled in this unit (and teaching staff) can see postings and have
the opportunity to respond and share ideas. Being a public-like forum, normal
courtesies apply. You can access the Discussion Board from the
Communication section of MyECU.

.

8.2 Useful resources

Sheets
9
that may assist you to get familiar with some issues related to study.
The ECU library has a Referencing Guide that may assist you in your

8
ENS5140 students should note the additional assessments attached to the Engineering Reflective
Journal. Refer to the Unit Outline for more details.

studies
10
. More resources may be found through the ECU library
11
. This unit
will also be supported with a MyECU
12
website.

8.3 Marking of in-semester work
In-semester assessed work will generally have a breakdown of the (maximum)
marks achievable. The overall assessment criteria for this unit are included in
the Unit Outline. In-semester work submitted late, will incur marks
penalties
13
.

8.4 End-of-semester examination
The exam is a closed book assessment. You will not have access to any
teaching materials or any other information sources. No access will be allowed
to mobile phones, computers or other communication devices whilst
attempting this exam. The Unit Outline for this unit states To be eligible to
pass this unit, students must pass the end-of-semester examination.

Exam questions may be based on lectures (slides, discussions). They may also
potentially extend to readings required of you (in the lecture slides) as well as
content covered through invited presentations. The final-end-of-semester
exam will not extend to readings that feature in tutorial slides. So, if the
lectures ask you to read something that content may potentially be a candidate
for inclusion into the exam. However, external literature (e.g., articles) you
cover for the tutorials will not be included into the exam. The reason is that
tutorial readings will be assessed through Discussion Board contributions on
MyECU. More details on the format of the exam may be declared closer to the
end of semester.

8.5 School Guidelines on Calculators
The School of Engineering has guidelines governing the types of calculators
that may be used in tests and exams. This policy
14
applies in this unit.

8.6 Academic Calendar
Dates and deadlines for the commencement of semester, exams and
withdrawals (with/without penalty) are available through the University
Website
15
.

8.7 Deferred and Supplementary Exams
ECU has specific guidelines that govern these
