This workshop training course will give students a basic experience of workshop processes. This course is for Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering students.
The purpose of Workshop Training is to give students a basic experience and appreciation of workshop processes. In particular to provide:- Experience of basic workshop processes (drilling, turning, milling, welding, hand tools).- Develop an appreciation of the capabilities (limitations) of these processes.- Develop an awareness of workshop health and safety (H&S), and to develop professional engineering attitudes towards H&S generally.
Washington Accord (V4) Summary of Graduate Attributes attained in this course:Course topics with Learning Outcomes (and Washington Accord (WA) and UC Graduate Attributes) identified.1. General principles of health and safety, 2. Safe work practices in a machine workshop, 3. Familiarisation with lathe, mill, drill press, and MMAW (stick) welding
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
Critically competent in a core academic discipline of their award
Students know and can critically evaluate and, where applicable, apply this knowledge to topics/issues within their majoring subject.
Approval into the BE(Hons) Programme
ENME201 or (ENMT211 and ENMT221)
Students must attend one activity from each section.
In order to provide enough workshops for the number of enrolled students, workshop training is held in two different ways. Students can allocate themselves to whichever option suits their timetable and other study, work and sporting commitments. The two options are, either:a) morning, afternoon or evening workshops, for 3 hours, that are on one day of the week for a full semester. These are the same as labs and tutorials for other courses and are available in both semester 1 and semester 2; orb) week-long workshops that are in the mid term and semester breaks. You attend on all five days of the week from 8.30am - 4.30pm.For queries, email mechanicalengineering@canterbury.ac.nz
