STAFFING:

SYNOPSIS:

A   technical  officer  or  professional  engineer,  employed  in  the
electrical  and electronic industry, will at some time be involved  in
the  design  and development of electronic equipment. A  knowledge  of
manufacturing  processes  and  construction  practice   is   therefore
necessary;  whether  developing  new  processes,  improving   existing
processes, using manual skills "hands on" or supervising others  using
these skills. The information presented in this unit will provide  the
necessary background to manufacturing processes and the manual  skills
necessary to develop a final product.

The  aim  of  this  unit is to enable the student  to  comprehend  the
principles of modern manufacturing processes and to acquire competency
in the design, construction and documentation of electronic equipment.
The  principles of component selection, printed circuit  design  using
CAD  software,  fabrication and assembly techniques are presented  and
modern   automated   assembly  using  surface  mount   technology   is
introduced.

OBJECTIVES:

On completion of the unit, the student should :

1. Have a basic understanding of electronic manufacturing
   processes, specifications, reliability and component
   selection.
   
2. Have a basic level of competency in electronic drafting
   including computer assisted techniques.
   
3. Have a basic level of competency in the use of electronic hand
   tools, soldering, instrument assembly, testing, maintenance
   and documentation.
   
4. Have a basic understanding of production techniques associated
   with surface mounted components.
