MECH ENG 3112 - Sports Engineering

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2022

This course introduces the core technologies of the sports engineer and the biomechanical engineer, including force platforms, pressure sensors, motion capture systems, high speed video, EMG sensors, and IMU sensors. The use of these technologies is taught with a series of hands-on laboratories. Data analysis and manipulation is emphasised using programmatic tools such as Matlab. Walking and running gait is studied in the context of instrumentation and measurement in the context of both performance improvement and injury prevention. Engineering principles and considerations around the design of specific sports equipment is discussed.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition is available.
