Level 3 Industrial Engineering
13IEG Course Description Recommended Prior LearningYear 11 or Year 12 Engineering or Design Technology.
This course will further enhance the student’s ability to manufacture and assemble components to a high standard. Students will be given the opportunity to manufacture and produce a project from a choice of a Stirling engine or a Steam engine or a Twin cylinder overhear rotary cam air engine
The students will continuing to develop their skills in CAD (Computer Aided Design - SolidWorks), creating 3D components, 2D instrumental drawings and assembly drawings of an engine, which they have produced in terms 1 and 2.
Course Overview
Term 1
Creating a High Precession engine using advanced engineering skills by enhancing the skills learnt during year 12.
Term 2
continuing production of the advanced engine
Term 3
Students will be creating digital 3D components of the engine they built in the first 2 terms on a CAD (Computer Aided Design) system - using Solidworks). These components will be assembled to produce a variety of views including a cross-sectional view. Students will also be converting the 3D components into into 2D instrumental drawings.
Term 4
Finishing off CAD work and/or Assembling of the engine produced in terms 1 and 2
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
