Description

Compulsory workshop training course for Chemical and Process Engineering students.

Learning Outcomes

  • The learning outcomes will be as follows:

    Basic workshop practice
  • Understand safety requirements for engineering manufacturing workshops
  • Use an engineering vernier calliper and micrometer for measuring parts
  • Interpret a simple engineering drawing

    Basic machining practices
  • Safely use a lathe to turn a simple component
  • Safely use a milling machine to make a simple face cut
  • Apply oil quench heat treatment

    Welding workshop
  • Understand safety requirements for welding workshops
  • Use manual metal arc processes (arc welding) to make groove and fillet welds
  • Test welds, e.g. butt welds to destruction with U bend test and section cut on a bandsaw and, ( if time allows) fillet welds in destructive bend test
  • Identify typical visual weld defects and explain causes

    Note that the projects may change from time to time.  Also, the amount of time spent on the various activities varies with discipline.

Notes

EXEMPTIONS

Exemptions from the Workshop Training Course may be granted by the course supervisor for the Department of Chemical & Process Engineering.  Normally this will only be considered for:
• NZCE/Diploma students
• an engineering trade qualification
• equivalent course done elsewhere
• substantial formal work experience (self-taught experience in a home workshop will not usually be sufficient grounds for exemption)  

Those students who believe they may be eligible for an exemption should apply early in their first year of Professional study.

Indicative Fees

Domestic fee $387.00

* All fees are inclusive of NZ GST or any equivalent overseas tax, and do not include any programme level discount or additional course-related expenses.
