A NOTE ON THIS HANDBOOK
This handbook applies to all students taking JS Mechanical and Manufacturing
Engineering (i.e. the B-stream). It provides a guide to what is expected of you on this
programme and the academic and personal support available to you. Please retain
for future reference.
The information provided in this handbook is accurate at time of preparation. Any
necessary revisions will be notified to students by e-mail. Please note that, in the
event of any conflict or inconsistency between the General Regulations published in
the University Calendar and information contained in course handbooks, the
provisions of the General Regulations will prevail.
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Discipline of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
Mechanical Engineering is perhaps the most expansive and demanding of the
engineering disciplines and provides much of the innovation necessary for
addressing societal challenges and economic recovery. In Ireland, two vibrant
themes are emerging in sustainable energy and bio-engineering manufacture. Both
of these study areas are vigorously pursued in our department.
The Junior Sophister year is much more specialised than the general Freshman
years. In your studies you should aim to work for a minimum of 40 hours per week.
With a total timetable schedule of about 24 hours per week, this means you should
be planning private study for about 16 hours/week on average. Developing proper
study techniques and the capacity to use the library, the web, and most importantly
interaction with peers and lecturers to supplement formal lecture material is a central
aspect of a University education. You should not expect to be given full details of all
aspects of the modules in lectures or tutorials. It is ultimately your responsibility to
ensure that you have understood the fundamentals of each of the modules and that
you can solve both tutorial problems and other examples to be found in appropriate
textbooks. These developed study skills will carry forward to final year and beyond.

COURSE OVERVIEW
The JS year is broken into two semesters and the examinations are at the end of
the second semester only. To do well in your JS year it is important to work
consistently. It is particularly important, from your perspective, to work hard this year.
In your last two years you have had the comfort that your exam performance did not
impact on your final result. However, this is not the case in JS year, as

Your performance in JS year will constitute 20% of your overall BAI degree
assessment

Your performance in the JS year will also impact on project choices and on
your ability to participate in international studies or internships in your SS
year; these are discussed later in the handbook.

Permission to proceed to M.A.I.
The following minimum requirements are necessary for a student to be eligible
to proceed to the fifth year of the MAI:
Students must attain at least a second class (second division) grade in their
Senior Sophister year along with an overall combined result of at least second
class (second division) grade in their Junior Sophister and Senior Sophister
year.
For the purposes of calculating contribution from the Junior Sophister to the
BAI degree award and to determine eligibility to progress to the MAI, in the
event that supplemental examinations are taken in the Junior Sophister year,
all components contributing towards the overall supplemental mark will be
capped at 40%. Students are permitted one repeat of their Senior Sophister
year to achieve the grade required to proceed to the fifth year of the course.

http://www.tcd.ie/Engineering/undergraduate/baiyear3/mechanical/. Modules 3E1,
3E3, 3C1, 3B2, 3B5, will run during the first 12 weeks of the academic year (1 st
Semester) while 3E4, 3B1, 3B3, 3B4. 3B7 will run from weeks 13 – 24 (2nd
semester). 3B8 will run over both semesters. This is detailed on the lecture
timetable. There will be one tutorial per week in each subject during the semester
they are running.
THERMODYNAMICS describes how energy can be made available and transformed to
serve our requirements whilst FLUID MECHANICS covers fluid flow, lubrication and fluid
machinery. MECHANICS OF SOLIDS and MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MATERIALS cover
structural and component design and integrity, and the effect of material
5
characteristics, environment and structure on performance in service. MECHANICS OF
MACHINES analyses moving components and evaluates forces and loadings on
mechanical systems. SIGNALS & SYSYEMS provides a foundation for signal
processing and an introduction to control systems. MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY &
SYSTEMS describes the fundamental approaches by which materials and components
are produced and covers the quantitative techniques required in management
processes. The Universal Design Innovation module is central to the overall
programme and it introduces students to the practical problems associated with the
evolution of new products and also includes the basics of electrical power systems
analysis required for design applications. In the Junior Sophister year, the
programme of the BAI / MAI in the School of Engineering is closely integrated and
students in all streams undertake modules inProbability and Statistics ; Innovation
and Entrepreneurship for EngineersAND MATHEMATICS V.
FACILITIES
Most of the labs and staff of the Disciple are located in the Parsons Building. All
modules in the Sophister years are supplemented by a full programme of laboratory
work and/or assignments. The laboratories are well equipped for undergraduate
work and, in addition, we have extensive research facilities, which are available for
4th and 5th year projects. The School has its own well-equipped workshops which are
managed by Mr. Mick Reilly. All JS students undertake a module of practical
workshop training (as part of 3B8) in which they learn to use the basic tools available
for fabrication and manufacture of various components. The Computer Applications
Laboratories are administered by Mr. John Gaynor and we have work stations which
are used extensively in both the design module in third year and for the Project work
and Manufacturing modules in fourth and fifth year. In general, students are
encouraged to make use of these facilities at all times but particularly for the Design
Module (3B8),

SENIOR SOPHISTER INTERNSHIPS
TRINITY-INTERNSHIP PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS IN ENGINEERING
Module Title:
4E4 Trinity-Internship Partnership Project
Code:
ME4E4
Level:
Senior Sophister (Integrated Engineering)
Credits:
30
Semester:
2
Co-ordinator:
Professor Garret O Donnell (odonnege@tcd.ie )
Supervisors:
To be agreed on project case basis
https://www.tcd.ie/Engineering/undergraduate/baiyear4/modules/4E4.pdf
The Engineering Project Internship is an optional module in the fourth year for MAI
Students who are following a five-year study programme, and is not available to
Students who have chosen the four year BAI or Engineering with Management
routes. This Internship will normally run in the Second Semester (January to June),
and will carry a credit weighting of 30 ECTS, replacing the 30 ECTS credits ordinarily
gained by fourth year MAI Students in the Second Semester at Trinity College
Dublin.
Thus, the Engineering Project Internship accounts for half of the student effort in the
fourth-year of their five-year MAI studies, and the project work associated with the
Internship must therefore comprise a significant body of work at the appropriate level.
Students who participate in the Engineering Project Internship must be made fully
aware that participation can limit module choices for subjects in the fifth-year, due to
the prerequisite requirements for some modules.
Accordingly, it will be necessary to ensure that MAI Students who go on Internship in
their fourth year will be able to avail of a suitable menu of modules in their fifth-year.
It will be allowable in some circumstances for fifth-year Students to take up to 10
ECTS of appropriate fourth-year modules. These modules must be chosen so as to
strengthen their chosen area of specialism and, where possible, also support their
fifth-year project work. The choice of modules for the fifth-year for all students going
on Internship must be made with the agreement of the Head of Stream/Discipline or
his/her nominee.

PREREQUISITE MODULES
The MAI programme is structured to facilitate delivery of higher-level content through
prerequisite modules. The term ‘prerequisite’ indicates a module which it is strongly
recommended to complete prior to engaging a new one. Only in exceptional
circumstances will a student be permitted not to complete prerequisite modules.
Some of the fourth year modules are prerequisites for some of the fifth-year modules
and some MAI projects in the different disciplines. In general, it will not be possible to
take fifth-year modules or MAI projects without having completed the required
prerequisites for these activities (see module descriptors for details). Accordingly, for
students opting for a placement in their fourth year, or for those following
Unitech/Erasmus or another period of study abroad, it will be necessary to ensure
prerequisites are met for a suitable set of modules and the project work in the fifthyear.
Meeting the prerequisites in cases where a student opts for a placement in their
fourth year, or for those following Unitech/Erasmus or another period of study abroad
might be achieved by:
1.
in the case of a half-year placement, the student taking the prerequisite
modules for their intended fifth-year modules/project work in the semester they spend
at College (this will generally be the first semester). Prerequisite modules will, where
possible, be timetabled for the first semester.
2.
in the case of a period of study abroad, the student taking modules equivalent
to the prerequisites for their intended fifth-year modules/project work during their
period of study abroad in their fourth year
3.
by the student taking only fifth-year modules/projects which do not have
prerequisites
4.
by student taking fourth year prerequisite modules in the first semester of their
fifth-year (to a maximum of 10 ECTS credits). However, for the latter option, since
this would be on a case-by-case basis, the timetable cannot be specifically arranged
to facilitate this.
8
Thus, a student who opts for a placement or for a period of study abroad must
understand that this will influence their options in the fifth-year. Accordingly, a student
intending to pursue this option must do so in consultation with the Director of the
Stream or his/her delegate. In special circumstances, where a student can
demonstrate to the module coordinator that he/she has substantially met the learning
outcomes of a prerequisite module through other means, students may be allowed to
take the fifth-year module without having completed the designated fourth year
prerequisite(s).

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
In the SS year, for students continuing on the MAI programme, you may be accepted
for studying in an international university to get 60 ECTS which you can count
towards your MAI degree. The universities who have agreements with Trinity include
the CLUSTER universities (www.cluster.org ) and other universities around the world.
Lists of these can be found on the webpage of the TCD International office
(http://www.tcd.ie/international/ ). In these institutions tuition is generally available in
English and in many cases accommodation can be arranged.
A structured programme including an industry internship can also be followed under
the UNITECH programme. These are at leading European universities and
information is available at www.unitech-international.org/. These places are awarded
on a competitive basis with interview.
Alternatively, MAI students can take a study year in INSA Lyon and qualify for the
Double Diploma (the tuition here is in French).
You will need to have gained a II.1 grade in your Junior Sophister year to be eligible
for this (there is generally no provision for repeat exams in foreign institutions).
9
If you travel under the Erasmus agreement (exchange with no extra fees) you can
also qualify for a small grant. Consult the International office for details.
In addition to getting permission to travel from TCD, you will also need to apply to the
receiving university.
If you wish to consider this option:

The Departmental International Coordinator is Professor Henry Rice
(hrice@tcd.ie )

The School of Engineering Global Officer is Ms Deirbhle O’Reilly
(deirbhle.oreilly@tcd.ie)

The International Office email contact is (erasmus@tcd.ie )

For UNITECH information the School coordinator is Professor Brian Broderick
(bbrodrck@tcd.ie).
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENT
Examinations in all subjects are held at the end of the academic year. In the case of
3B8, the module is examined by a mix of continuous assessment and open book
exams. For subjects 3C1, and 3B1 to 3B7, the final mark is based on 80%
examination and 20% laboratory or assignment work, unless otherwise specified by
the lecturer concerned. Your performance in JS year will constitute 20% of your
overall BAI degree assessment, with a maximum mark of 40% for modules which
have been passed at the supplemental examinations (or by compensation). All
marks for labs/assignments are provisional until after the court of examiners meet.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM (ECTS)
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is an academic
credit system based on the estimated student workload required to achieve the
objectives and learning outcomes of a module or programme of study. It is designed
to enable academic recognition for periods of study, to facilitate student mobility and
credit accumulation and transfer. The ECTS is the recommended credit system for
higher education in Ireland and across the European Higher Education Area.
The ECTS weighting for a module is a measure of the student input or workload
required for that module, based on factors such as the number of contact hours, the
number and length of written or verbally presented assessment exercises, class
preparation and private study time, laboratory classes, examinations, clinical
attendance, professional training placements, and so on.
For more information and ECTS documentation, see the EU Commission website at
http://ec.europa.eu/education/lifelong-learning-policy/doc48_en.ht
ATTENDANCE, NON-SATISFACTORY ATTENDANCE, MODULE WORK
Please note the following extract from the University Calendar: “For professional
reasons, lecture and tutorial attendance in all years is compulsory in the School of
Engineering.” Attendance at practical classes is also compulsory.
All students must fulfil the requirements of the School with regard to attendance and
module work. Students whose attendance or work is unsatisfactory in any year may
be refused permission to take all or part of the annual examinations for that year.
Where specific attendance requirements are not stated, students are non-satisfactory
if they miss more than a third of a required module in any term.
11
At the end of the teaching term, students who have not satisfied the department or
school requirements may be returned to the Senior Lecturer’s Office as nonsatisfactory for that term. In accordance with the regulations laid down by the
University Council, non-satisfactory students may be refused permission to take their
annual examinations and may be required by the Senior Lecturer to repeat their year.
See also the sections dealing with College and engineering examination regulations.
Further details on the academic regulations concerning attendance, non-satisfactory
attendance and module work are given in the University Calendar.

JUNIOR SOPHISTER LABORATORIES
Each module in JS has one or two laboratory experiments or assignments attached
to it. Students are expected to keep a log book recording the details of every
experiment performed and to write a technical report about each experiment. Each
student is required to submit her/his report neatly presented and by the date
specified to avoid penalty. Guidelines as to the required length and format of each
report will be specified by the lecturer concerned.
Please note that you must attend the particular tutorial and laboratory sessions
to which you have been assigned. Students cannot swap sessions because of
the complexity of the timetable, the large numbers in the year and the limited
accommodation available.

PLAGIARISM
In the academic world, the principal currency is ideas. As a consequence, you can
see that plagiarism – i.e. passing off other people’s ideas as your own– is tantamount
to theft. It is important to be aware the plagiarism can occur knowingly or
unknowingly, and the offence is in the action not the intent.
Plagiarism is a serious offence within College and the College’s policy on plagiarism
is set out in a central online repository hosted by the Library which is located at
http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism. This repository contains information on what
plagiarism is and how to avoid it, the College Calendar entry on plagiarism and a
matrix explaining the different levels of plagiarism outlined in the Calendar entry and
the sanctions applied.
Undergraduate and postgraduate new entrants and existing students, are required to
complete the online tutorial ‘Ready, Steady, Write’. Linked to this requirement, all
cover sheets which students must complete when submitting assessed work, must
contain the following declaration:
I have read and I understand the plagiarism provisions in the General
Regulations of the University Calendar for the current year, found
at: http://www.tcd.ie/calendar
I have also completed the Online Tutorial on avoiding plagiarism ‘Ready,
Steady, Write’, located at http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steadywrite
Plagiarism detection software such as “Turnitin” and Blackboard’s “SafeAssign” may
be used to assist in automatic plagiarism detection. Students are encouraged to
assess their own work for plagiarism prior to submission using this or other software.
Anonymous Marking
The College has approved the practice of anonymous marking for undergraduate
examinations. This does not apply to continuous assessment and term tests. All
undergraduate examination results are published anonymously by student number
on school, department or course office notice-boards, as appropriate.

S2S Peer Support
S2S Peer Support is all about one student listening to another student and providing
information and assistance. Peer Supporters are available for any student in the
College and are there for anything you might want to talk through with them. You
don’t need to be in distress or crisis to talk to a Peer Supporter, but they can help
with the larger problems as well as the smaller things. Our volunteers are highly
trained, confidential and professional, but they’re also fellow students who can offer
some genuine empathy and a friendly ear.
If anything is on your mind and you’d like to share it with a good listener then a Peer
Supporter would love to help. You can email us directly at student2student@tcd.ie or
request a meet-up with a Peer Supporter by calling 01 896 2438 or filling out an
online form.

Student Disability Services
If you have a disability or a specific learning disability (such as dyslexia) you may
want to register with Student Disability Services.
Do you know what supports are available to you in College if you have a disability or
a specific learning disability? Further information on our services can be found at
www.tcd.ie/disability
Declan Reilly is the Disability Officer in College. You can make an appointment to
see him by phoning 6083111, or emailing disab@tcd.ie.
