12 Learning-Teaching and Assessment Strategy:
Teaching-Learning Strategy
Teaching and learning will be via lecture, collaborative learning, group discussion and practise tutorial
sessions. Students will also be required to do their own self-study for certain topics and solve guided
questions to gain more understanding for this course.
Assessment Strategy
Assessment will be both formative and summative. Students learning will be assessed using quizzes,
written tests and final examination.

Introduction to stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, axial, bending, torsion and
combined loading of structures, shear forces and bending moments in beams, shear stresses, thin-
walled pressure cylinders, stress transformation, Mohr’s circle, principle stresses, buckling of columns
and theories of failures.
