SYLLABUS OUTLINE COLLEGE/ FACULTY Engineering and Computing SCHOOL/ DEPT Engineering COURSE OF STUDY Diploma Mechanical Engineering YEAR 1 MODULE TITLE MECHANICAL WORKSHOP 1 MODULE CODE MEE1003 DURATION 1 hour lecture, 3 hours workshop per week CREDIT VALUE 2 credits PREREQUISITES None 1.0 MODULE DESCRIPTION Many engineering activities deal with the design and/or analysis of structural elements. The manufacturing process is an integral part of any engineering design, analysis or repair job. This course introduces various workshop practices. The students learn to appreciate the constraints on design imposed by the manufacturing process and types of failure that may occur due to poor fabrication processes, which are in turn useful when trouble shooting repairs. The types of activities that take place in the machine shop may cause injuries to operators if not carefully handled. Hence safety measures are emphasised throughout the course. 2.0 MODULE OBJECTIVES/ LEARNING OUTCOMES Overall General Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, the student will Show competence in using hand and machine tools of various types. Understand the function and operation of common workshop machines. Understand basic workshop practices and processes. Be aware of and apply safety procedures. A.
