Description
Through this module, students develop knowledge and practical skills for safely and effectively manufacturing physical components. This is essential for aerospace engineers for two reasons:
• so that they can gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities and limitations of manufacturing methods, enabling them to design components which can be fabricated effectively.
• So that they are able to manufacture items themselves, or at least be aware of the basics of this
This includes high level content such as:
o effective safety in a workshop
• effective quality in a workshop
This includes specific skills such as:
o interpreting a drawing
o safely and effectively using individual machine tools.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Demonstrate an ability to safely use machine tools and workshop facilities
Demonstrate an ability to use machine tools and workshop facilities to achieve desired outcomes from an initial drawing
This links to AHEP4 learning outcomesM13. Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations. M14. Discuss the role of quality management systems and continuous improvement in thecontext of complex problems.
