Module Description: |
The aim of this module is to introduce a student to the mechanical workshop environment. On completion of this module, the student will have the required practical knowledge to read and understand basic 2D and 3D engineering mechanical drawings, to be able to recognise various engineering materials, to select the correct material for a particular purpose, to use hand and machine tools proficiently, to be competent in the use of measuring equipment, to know how to carry out a number of processes, such as Hand Fabrication, Turning, Milling, and Drilling, to be able to measure, assemble, and test the manufactured pieces, and to be aware of the need for a safe working environment at all times.

|
Preparation for manufacture
Facing, planing, punching, scribing and marking out of stock material to aid manufacture of assessed components.
|
Manufacture of metallic components for assessment.
Manufacture of project components using appropriate hand and power tools, lathes and milling machines in order to produce components with flat, angled surfaces with holes/slots and cylindrical components with concentric holes/bores. Examples may be the likes of a simple depth gauge, male to female cylindrical fittings, a toolmakers clamp and a compressed air engine.
