Level 2 Industrial Engineering
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Ringwood.
This course is designed to enhance and build on the skills learnt in Level 1 Mechanical Engineering. Through fabrication, machining, aluminium casting and using oxyacetylene gas equipment, students will be producing an engine which will run off steam or compressed air. The options are a Stationary engine or a Traction engine, both of which are based on the original Mamod designs.
Course Overview
Term 1
Workshop safety
Production of Traction engine
Term 2
Production of Traction engine
