Description of module content:

The aim of this module is to : Introduce students to "hands-on" workshop practice. This includes the use of: machine tools, joining methods and the use of metrology equipment in the assessment of small manufactured products. Hands-on manufacture workshop tools will include welding, soldering, lathes, milling machines and drilling. This module is intended to increase your knowledge and understanding of professional engineering practice. It will provide a sound basis to enable you to work competently, collaboratively, safely and effectively within both (1) a workshop environment and (2) in the wider context of a typical commercial enterprise.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Demonstrate knowledge of the operating principles of machining processes and machine tools.

LO2: Understand the basic health and safety requirements for engineering processes.

LO3: Carry out basic workshop operations.

LO4: Discuss the role of the engineer in a variety of organisations, including engineering ethics and security matters.
