measures of environmental impact (such as
embodied energy) to carry out a materials
selection process for a broadly-defined
engineering application.
Notes:
• Submissions are assessed as a single entity (see below). Nevertheless, the briefing
identifies several essential areas of study, which are illustrated in terms of ‘sections’ that
students might use should they wish. For convenience, these section names are used in
the above table.
• A total mark below 30% indicates that the ILOs have not all been met at threshold level;
• A total mark in the range 30 – 38% indicates that the ILOs have all been partially met to
at least threshold level;
• A total mark of at least 40% indicates that the ILOs have all been met.

Guidance and Referencing Style
It is serious Academic Misconduct to pass off the work of others (including peers or AI-based
chatbots such as ChatGPT) as your own and you should not permit colleagues to copy from
you. Sources must be appropriately and properly acknowledged every time reference is made
to another’s work, using the Harvard Referencing system. Failure to do so amounts to
plagiarism which breaches university regulations and falls short of the Academic Integrity
expected in the department and university.

There are also other types of academic offences including duplication or ‘self-plagiarism’.

Assignment Feedback
Students will receive individual written feedback via annotations on their submission.
Feedback on students' assignments will be provided through the Tabula system, together with
the release of their awarded marks. The feedback will comprehensively address the strengths

to enhance their future work.
The Brief
Prepared by: Prof. Rob Thornton, WMG,
Introduction
This coursework has been designed to allow students to make incremental progress on it (i.e.
a small amount each week), by following and adapting knowledge and techniques introduced
from Week 1 of the module.
The objective is to complete a series of materials selection case studies that demonstrate an
ability to apply the key stages of the materials selection process, use mechanical performance
criteria to select a material using materials data, and to advise on materials selection based
on environmental factors.
The assignment is split into four sections. This briefing also acts as a template, with spaces
included for your answers. Therefore, fill in the corresponding sections on this template to
create your submission. When completed, save this document as a *.pdf and submit to Tabula
following the instructions and deadline provided. The questions and word limits for each
section are given in this document, with supporting information provided in the brief and
general assignment information above.
General tips when adding information:
• Only add information into the white/unshaded boxes below each question.
• Where mathematical manipulation or derivation is required, you can either complete
the question using the equation editor built into Microsoft Word, or hand-write, scan
and paste your working into the correct box. Please note that, if hand-writing your
answers, the scan must be clear and readable for it to be marked.
• Where figures generated by other software are required, you often get better results
by taking screenshots or using the ‘snipping tool’ rather than built-in export functions.
Try out each method and include the best image. Images should be resized so all
details, axis labels and annotations are large enough to read at normal magnification.
Text should only be placed above and below images, and not wrapped around.
