Modern Constructive Materials in Mechanical Engineering

Eserkegenova Bekzat Zhambylkyzy

The instructor profile

Description: The discipline is intended for undergraduates studying specialization in materials science and mechanical engineering. In this course, undergraduates study modern materials used in mechanical engineering and their properties, including strength, stiffness, fatigue strength and other characteristics. Production technologies, methods of testing and analysis of materials, as well as the use of new innovative materials in various industries are also highlighted. The course helps undergraduates understand how to choose suitable materials for specific structures and design more efficient and reliable machines and devices.

Teaching methods

New opportunities and challenges related to the Internet and e-Commerce are presented, and models and software tools for designing logistics networks, capacity planning, and integration with product development are discussed.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade Numerical value Points (%) Traditional grade
A 4.0 95-100 Excellent
A- 3.67 90-94
B+ 3.33 85-89 Good
B 3.0 80-84
B- 2.67 75-79
C+ 2.33 70-74
C 2.0 65-69 Satisfactory
C- 1.67 60-64
D+ 1.33 55-59
D 1.0 50-54
FX 0.5 25-49 Unsatisfactory
F 0 0-24
