Anna Lidfors Lindqvist

Anna Lidfors Lindqvist
Lecturer

Anna is dedicated to education, centring her efforts on enhancing student learning. She played a pivotal role in reforming the curriculum with a thorough programme approach, making significant contributions to a variety of engineering courses in the School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering. Anna, who specialised in vehicle dynamics and control, earned her PhD in this field, where she led the Australian Technology of Networks (ATN) Solar Car team, a project marked by extensive collaboration. Her research and consultancy are primarily aimed at practical applications with a strong focus on net zero emission technologies.

In addition to her academic duties, Anna has been actively involved in industry projects, where her work is especially noted for advancing mechanical design and innovation. Her approach embodies a deep understanding of the engineering design process, emphasising iterative development, problem-solving and creativity to meet the complex demands of modern engineering challenges.

  • Week 4 – Tolerancing. 

Module 3: Advanced Measurements & Quality Assurance  

  • Week 5 - Advanced measurement techniques  (bookable access to the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) available)
  • Week 6 - Quality assurance.

Module 4: Practical Applications of Reverse Engineering 

  • Week 7 - Manual reverse engineering in industry.

Course learning objectives

  • Reflect on the principles and techniques of manual reverse engineering methods for engineering applications
  • Analyse measurement data to validate the accuracy of a 3D scanned component
  • Apply manual techniques to reverse engineer components for engineering professionals engaged with manufacturing and quality assurance.

Assessment

This course employs a focused assessment strategy to gauge participants' understanding and application of reverse engineering concepts.

Task 1 - Key activities (x 3)

Throughout the course, participants will engage in several key activities designed to build skills and knowledge in reverse engineering, 3D scanning, and quality assurance. These activities serve as preparatory exercises and contribute to the learner's readiness for the final assessment.

Note: These activities are ungraded, but are crucial for successful completion of the final assessment.

Task 2 - Final assessment (weight - 100%)

The core assessment of this microcredential is a single, 5-minute video presentation, which carries the full weight of the assessment load.

The video should succinctly cover the submissions from key activities 1-3, showcasing your journey through the reverse engineering process, including key findings and learning experiences. It should also demonstrate an understanding of quality assurance, tolerancing and the implications of manufacturing methods on the final product.

Participants will be evaluated on the depth of their analysis, the clarity of their presentation and their ability to synthesise course concepts in a practical context.
