Course Outcome

6 Modules

The complete course consists of 6 video modules and 1 PDF manual which include self-assessment

Module 1 – Introduction to General Engineering Disciplines

At the end of this module the learner will be able to:

• Describe certain concepts regarding people and practices in typical engineering environments

Module 2 – Standard Linear Measuring

At the end of this module the learner will be able to describe standard metric linear measurements on the following instruments:

• Engineer’s steel rule
• Wooden folding rule
• Standard 2 or 3 meter tape measure

Module 3 – Engineering Concepts

At the end of this module the learner will be able to verbally and actively describe the following most basic engineering concepts or “standards” (including):

• Flat Straight
• Level Square
• Squared off or “squarely” Round
• Diameter Radius

Module 4 – Using Basic Measuring Instruments

At the end of this module the learner will demonstrate his / her ability to obtain various measurements using conventional non-precision measuring instruments:

• To within one millimeter with tape measurers and folding rules
• To within 0,5 millimetres with an engineer’s steel rule

On the following surfaces:

• External surfaces
• Internal flat surfaces
• Internal round / cylinder surfaces

Module 5 – Engineering Sketches / Basic Drawings

At the end of this module the learner will demonstrate his/her ability to interpret basic information from a given engineering drawing an /or sketch in isometric and orthographic projection of a single component in terms of:

• Shape of object
• Dimensions of object (including tolerances)
• Basic hidden detail
• Material from which object is made
• Scale of drawing

Module 6 – Marking off

At the end of this module the learner will demonstrate his / her ability to mark-off detail, from drawing, to metal work piece using the following conventional hand-held instruments and tools:

• A scriber
• An “odd-leg” (Jenny) calliper
• A divider
• A machinists hammer
