SCIENCE AND USE OF MATERIALS
HBS2SUM
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you will gain a scientific understanding of the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of some materials used in the fabrication of prosthetic and orthotic devices. You will also learn the basic materials handling skills required to begin fabrication of prosthetic and orthotic devices and will gain practical experience with materials, tools and machinery. You will learn safe working practices of the University workshops, and how to control the occupational health and safety risks encountered in prosthetic and orthotic fabrication.

One three-dimensional physical/digital project (500 words equiv)This task introduces the three-dimensional software context. Students will use CAD software to manipulate a shape, then reproduce that shape in a physical object. CAD software is a new tool used in prosthetic and orthotic fabrication and this is the first step of a scaffolded stream in the P&O program. | N/A | N/A | No | 10 | SILO2, SILO3 |
