Course Description
Welcome to Workshop Technology. This unit introduces learners to the tools, equipment, materials, and safety practices used in engineering workshops. Students will learn workshop procedures, measuring instruments, hand tools, power tools, joining techniques, metal cutting, and practical workshop skills. By the end of the course, learners should be able to work safely, identify workshop tools, perform basic workshop operations, and produce simple engineering components
By the end of this course, learners should be able to:
- Explain the principles and importance of workshop technology in engineering practice.
- Demonstrate safe working practices by following workshop safety rules and using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Identify and correctly use common workshop tools, equipment, and measuring instruments.
- Perform basic workshop operations such as marking out, cutting, filing, drilling, and fitting.
- Apply appropriate workshop techniques to produce simple engineering components that meet specified standards.
