Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Ringwood
This course will further enhance the student’s ability to manufacture and assemble components to a high standard. The students will start the year continuing to develop their skills in CAD (Computer Aided Design - SolidWorks), creating 3D components, 2D instrumental drawings and assembly drawings of the Stirling engine, which they will be producing in term 2, 3 and 4.
Students will be given the opportunity to manufacture and produce a project from a choice of a Stirling engine or a Steam engine.
Course Overview
Term 1
