CONS06046 2019 Applied Construction Technology with Advanced Manufacturing 2
This workshop-based module follows on from the previous semesters preparatory studies and projects to enable the student to select, design and fabricate a construction, carpentry, joinery or furniture-based project of their choice which will showcase their diverse skill set acquired to date. This project will combine multi-disciplinary elements of Information Technology, Construction Technology, Computer Aided Design, Health and Safety Management modules together with the students previous 3-semesters of Applied Technology module to allow them research, design, schedule and construct a project of significance.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
Assess and document the health and safety considerations appropriate to the working environment
Demonstrate the ability to research, plan, schedule and execute a project from receipt of initial project brief
Apply the knowledge acquired in theory and Applied studies to manufacture construction-detail, carpentry, joinery or furniture models
Demonstrate an appreciation of machine-based and off-site manufacturing
Demonstrate an understanding of material suitability in the selection of components used in the construction of student projects
Apply safe working practices when using CNC machines in a workshop environment.
Communicate technical information and instructions, and apply learned technical skills to new projects.
Demonstrate an ability to construct the geometry of parts on the computer using CAD / CAM package, decide upon a machining strategy, (simulate machining), post-process and machine using the code generated.
Demonstrate an ability to understand the role and function of G codes, machine set-up strategies and absolute and incremental programming.
Demonstrate an ability to produce graphic simulation to display the machining operations and set up and machine the programmed parts.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module is delivered using a combination of online resources, workshop‑based instruction and project fabrication. Moodle will be used to provide educational and reference material with links provided to upload supplementary reports on completed projects. The specific requirements of individual projects necessitates a high level of supervision of project design stage and one‑to‑one support during project development and are considered the core elements of the learning strategy employed. This multi‑faceted approach is expected to address student learning needs.
