Assessment Description
Students will be assessed on their ability to work as part of a design and manufacturing team, to produce a significant engineering artifact such as, for example, complete car or aircraft components. Students will be assessed under the following criteria • Use of project planning tools, demonstrate an ability to coordinate the project and function as a design-team member. • Demonstrate skills in producing high quality engineering components • Demonstrate skills in fixturing and machine setup. • Be able to interface 3D CAD skills with other engineering software. • Produce a CAD/CAM portfolio containing all material
