Level 3 Engineering

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr I. Rees.

Level 3 Engineering is a full time 4 hr a week course which has a practical and computer aided design  focus split into two parts.


Part A is purely practical based with no theory assessment.  Students are required to manufacture a product from a set of drawings using a range of powered machinery and hand tools. The focus here is on accurate measuring and marking out, working to a high level of tolerance on the lathe and milling machine, using tools in a safe and productive manner. 


Part B uses Computer aided design software to produce 3d models and 2d drawings as an introduction to industry standard practice 


The course material and assessment tasks are generated by the Industry Training Organisation Competenz and there is a full range of support materials available through their website. It has been designed to meet the demand for Manufacturing Pathways for Schools (MaPS)


This  vocational course can lead into further study at ARA and SIT as well as setting up students for entry into the workforce

Course Overview

Term 1
There is no theory assessment requirements in Term 1 and 2. You will be given a set of drawings to manufacture an air engine using the lathe and milling machining.
You will need to be able to show your ability to:
» Prepare for machining operations.
» Perform machining operations.
» Verify tolerances of machined product.

Term 2
At Week 5 the course will move into the digital Technology space to undertake the following learning packages.
US20802 v4 Produce detailed two-dimensional engineering drawings using CAD software under supervision Level 3 Credits 6
You will need to be able to show your ability to the following, under supervision:
» Determine drawing requirements.
» Determine tolerances and dimensions for drawings to meet job specifications.
» Produce detailed two-dimensional engineering drawings using CAD software.
» Confirm detailed two-dimensional engineering drawings.
» Follow drawing office procedures

Term 3
US2436 v8 Create three-dimensional engineering models using CAD software under supervision Level 3 Credits 5
To be successful on this part of the course you will be observed creating and modifying three different three-dimensional engineering models.
This will involve:
» Preparing the 3D environments.
» Creating the models.
» Manipulating and modifying the models.
» Producing output from the models and confirming its compliance with job specifications.
» Answering questions about what you did.
» Attaching the documents and files asked for in the Observation Checklist.

Term 4
Completion of outstanding paper work and submission of any outstanding credits.

Recommended Prior Learning

A prerequisite for entry on this course is successful completion of the practical part of the Level 2 Engineering course or by interview and discussion with the HOD and subject teacher.

Pathway

This course is an excellent stepping stone onto the courses at ARA or SIT. It also gives you a good understanding of computer aided design using 2d and 3d programs.
