| This project will introduce you to the main manufacturing techniques used in metal. You will be required to design, mark out, cut, file and polish an aluminium vane before using the lathe to turn a post for it to be mounted to. A direction arm will be screw threaded then brazed into place before drilling and welding a base in place. | Developing an understanding of the world of engineering. Be able to explain the need for different engineering sector to exist and use examples to support. | Be able to suggest and justify the use of a range of materials in a given product. Making reference to their working properties. | Be able to disassemble a given product, identify individual component parts and justify their purpose within the product as a whole. | Be able to plan accurately how to remake a given component showing due regard to health and safety and appropriate manufacturing skills gained from previous course experience. | Be able to design and present a range of suitable designs ideas to a given engineering problem, showing creativity and flair. |
