The course provides knowledge and practical skills in common manufacturing methods used in the mechanical engineering industry. The course provides in-depth competence in creating CAD designs optimised for specific manufacturing processes. Candidates gain knowledge of tolerances, ISO fits, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). The course also covers welding documentation, fasteners and sheet metal. The aim of the course is to provide candidates with modern manufacturing methods that reduce production lead time. Candidates will use standard components and basic automation processes and techniques to develop and produce their own mechanical components.
The candidate:
• has knowledge of common manufacturing methods used in the mechanical engineering industry.
• has knowledge of concepts and principles used in manufacturing to generate optimised and manufacturable design proposals.
• has insight into relevant regulations and standards for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and ISO fits, enabling high-precision technical documentation ready for manufacturing.
• can assess their own design proposals in relation to suitable manufacturing methods.
• is familiar with the history, traditions and place in society of the mechanical engineering industry and manufacturing.
The candidate:
• can apply knowledge of relevant tools and techniques to produce welding documentation.
• can explain their choice of manufacturing method and justify the choice against the design proposal.
• can reflect on their technical documentation and evaluate its relevance to manufacturability.
• can find and refer to information about quality requirements and tolerances, and use this knowledge to revise and optimise design proposals.
The candidate:
• can plan and carry out feasible design solutions that are ready for manufacturing and meet industry requirements.
• can exchange viewpoints and collaborate with peers and professionals, participating in discussions on design and manufacturing practices.
• can contribute to improving efficiency in the development of 3D models and technical drawings within mechanical engineering workflows.
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
