| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
Lectures, laboratories, demonstrations, research, project work and some study will be used to ensure the student has a wide range of experiences. |
| Module Aim: |
The aim of this module is to provide students with an in depth understanding of manufacturing, the design process and computer aided methods. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
| LO1 |
Demonstrate an understanding of the manufacture of components and assemblies in a workshop environment, selecting appropriate fabrication techniques to ensure safe manner of operation. |
| LO2 |
Demonstrate an understanding of the procedure for conducting a risk assessment, implementing control measures and resulting risk reduction. |
| LO3 |
Demonstrate an understanding of measurement and inspection procedures. |
| LO4 |
Develop 3D models and assemblies, and the generation of 2D drawings of these components using CAD systems. |
| LO5 |
Describe and implement various computer aided methods. |
