This unit introduces the whole-of-life cycle of resources and the underlying flow of materials, established and emerging, from their origins on to extraction, processing, selecting, applying and disposal. The unit approaches engineering decision making regarding resources as an ethical and technical systems-thinking process. A key ability that students should gain on completing this unit is to select potential materials for a given application, accounting for the suitability of their properties as well as their impact on society and the environment. Material and energy balances are introduced to quantify the resources consumed in the chemical, metallurgical, physical and biological processes associated with transforming resources and energy into end products. The origin and extraction, physical and chemical processing, sustainable use and disposal of resources are illustrated with case studies of different resources encountered across engineering disciplines, for example: metals and alloys, polymers, glasses, ceramics and composites. Foundational experiments spanning chemical processes, material properties and metallurgy support the syllabus. Assessments provide opportunities to demonstrate academic integrity and communication skills.

Introduction
This unit provides engineering students with a systems thinking approach to understanding the processes that constitute the entire resources life cycle from a materials and energy perspective. At the end of the semester, students should have learnt about Resources and why a circular economy is essential to conserve them. The Material classification into Raw, Bulk and Engineering Materials and the Processes that are used to transform them from one into the other will be learnt. Finally, students will learn about Nanomaterials and Emerging Processes such as 3D Printing and Hydrogen Technologies and compare them within the framework of the lifecycle that has been introduced in each lecture.
Labs are Discovery Labs A, B and C (3 per student, per semester), with key themes related to the unit content. Students will learn about material properties, measurement, uncertainty and the relationships between various properties. The observations will be used to write concise technical reports.
All students in this unit will have access to a 2 hour WEEKLY LECTURE and a 2 hour WEEKLY workshop. Workshops begin in week 1 with Technical Report Writing, and an introduction to Excel skills you will need for the rest of your course and graduate skillset.
This unit incorporates the SELL Diagnostic, a mandatory requirement of the university, in Workshop 1 (Technical Report-Writing), Task 1. The results of the diagnostic will be used to determine if students would benefit from the SELL
Program (Science English Language and Literacy Program). More information can be found here:
https://www.curtin.edu.au/students/study-support/skills/science-engineering/.
Please note you will only have to complete the SELL Diagnostic and the SELL Program (if required) once, in one unit of study, throughout your course of study. Failure to complete the SELL diagnostic and/or the SELL Program will result in an incomplete mark F-IN for the unit. If you have completed the diagnostic and/or the program, you will receive a confirmation email from the SELL team. You can use this email to evidence your completed status, if required. Please contact if you have any questions.
Unit Learning Outcomes
All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin’s Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Workshops in Teaching Weeks 2-12 are designed to be completed within your weekly 2-hour workshop slot, and are highly interactive. Although workshop attendance is not compulsory, attendance will be taken. If you cannot attend your scheduled workshop sesson, you can still attempt your workshop questions and submit within 24 hours. Your best 9 out of 11 workshops will count towards your final mark, as no late submissions or extensions are possible for worksheets, regardless of reason.
Please note that if University Covid restrcitions are revised, then workshops will be held online and you will be notified.
2. Discovery Labs (29%) – Individual and Group work (peer assessed)
You will each do 3 labs (A, B and C), in the same group, that will be chosen on your first lab day. The labs are designed to help you understand key concepts taught during lectures, but also discover, problem- solve, analyse results and learn professional skills such as the importance of health and safety, teamwork, measurement and observation, and technical report writing.
Pre-labs MUST be completed via Blackboard before entry into labs is granted. Lab Results can be input during the lab, for instant feedback on your experiments during the lab sessions.
Lab A report is a formative assessment, and will be marked if submitted 2 weeks after your lab session. You will receive feedback on your technical report for Lab A before you submit the Lab B report. Week 1 workshops will teach you the key aspects of technical report-writing.
Lab B report will be marked as follows: 22% report (group), 5% Lab B Results (individual), 2% OHS (timely completion of Pre-Lab Quiz and wearing of correct PPE).
Lab attendance is compulsory. The pre-lab preparation must be completed the day before your scheduled lab session to access your Lab Results. If you cannot attend due to illness or other unforeseen reason, please email who will assist you with an alternative arrangement.
3. Final Exam (35%) – Individual
The final exam will cover all content in lectures, and will take place in exam week (centrally scheduled). It will be invigilated, under restricted conditions, allowing one A4 page of notes (both sides hand- or type- written). It will contain both theoretical and numerical questions. Example questions will be provided closer to the exam date, for practice.
