STAFFING:

SYNOPSIS:

This unit seeks to expose students to the work undertaken by tradesmen
and   to  develop  practical  skills  in  a  wide  range  of  workshop
techniques.  A  sound  practical foundation to the  design,  analysis,
maintenance  and  industrial management functions of  the  engineering
associate  and  technologist  is  essential  if  the  graduate  is  to
communicate  effectively with skilled tradesmen.  Theoretical  aspects
of  metal cutting and forming operations, and fabrication, are covered
in other units of the course.

Those  students with trade qualifications in fitting and turning  will
normally be exempted from this unit.

OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of this unit, a student should be able to:

1. Display a competent level of fitting skills through correct use of basic hand tools;
2. Demonstrate safe and competent use of an engineering lathe, milling machine and shaper to perform basic machining operations.
3. Make various welds using oxy acetylene and electric arc technique;
4. Undertake basic sheet metal exercises.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    The  workload  in  this  unit  consists  of  directed  'in  work'
     experience  which  is  usually attained  at  student's  place  of
     employment,  local  engineering firms or at  TAFE  Colleges.  For
     those students who are unable to complete the normal requirements
     of  the  unit locally, practical work will be scheduled  for  the
     residential school period and conducted on campus.  Attendance at
     residential school is therefore not compulsory except  for  those
     few  students who are unable to satisfactorily complete the  unit
     off campus.
2    If   all   exercises  cannot  be  completed  during  the   normal
     residential  school  period students may be  required  to  attend
     extra  sessions.   These  sessions  will  be  timetabled  by  the
     examiner  and  are  likely  to run  on  campus  during  the  week
     immediately  following semester two exams. NOTE:  The  additional
     sessions  are  only for those students who have already  attended
     the normal residential school period.
3    In order to pass the unit students must successfully complete all
     practical exercises.  A non graded pass is awarded in this unit.
