Aims
This module aims to introduce students to a range of general engineering practices and standards.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Create and interpret CAD models and engineering drawings which are produced to current standards.
2.
Safely carry out a range of engineering workshop procedures using standard processes.
3.
Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning and the requirement to become a professional engineer.
4.
Use practical laboratory skills to investigate complex problems by carrying out experimental procedures, processing the data collected, and effectively communicate the findings.
