Course schedule
Key point: A matrix is suggested as a good way to represent a course schedule including class, topic and requirements
so that students can prepare their own learning before classes. It is useful to highlight important dates for students,
including holidays, dates when assessments are due and/or dates of tests and examinations.

IMPORTANT
1. The submission deadlines for Homework 1-5 are the 1st Sunday midnight after the tutorial. The
submission deadlines for Homework 6-8 are the 2nd Sunday midnight after the tutorial. Unless there is
valid medical/family reasons, late homework will not be accepted.

2. The tutorial and demonstration for the 3D printing lab, CNC lab, and 3D scanning lab will be recorded
and distributed to students. The homework for CNC lab and 3D scanning lab will involve answering
manufacturing-related technical questions and writing lab reports. More detailed instructions will be
provided during the week of the specific lab.

3. Final project will involve CAD design and 3D printing. Students will be assigned into groups of 5-6
students/group. They will need to design something based on guidelines provided and submit their design
for 3D printing. They will have two 3D printing opportunities with the 2nd opportunity provided so that they
can revise their 1st design to obtain a better 3D printing outcome. Please take note of the two deadlines to
submit your files for 3D printing. More information will be provided when the project is announced.
