Unit Code: MCD535

Unit Name: Mechanical Workshop Practice

Description: Workshop practice is the backbone of the real industrial environment which helps to develop and enhance relevant technical hand skills required by the technician working in the various engineering industries and workshops. This course intends to impart basic know-how of various hand tools and their use in different sections of manufacturing as well as the use of metrology equipment in the assessment of manufactured products. The workshop experiences would help to build an understanding of the complexity of the industrial job, along with time and skills requirements of the job. Workshop curricula build the hands-on experiences which would help to learn manufacturing processes and production technology courses in successive semesters. The student will undergo each mechanical skill experience (Plant maintenance, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Machining, Welding) with remembrance, understanding and application with special emphasis on the attitude of enquiry to know why and how for the various instructions and practices imparted to them in each shop and also the general safety rules and work procedures in the workshop. Professional Ethics Engineering technicians are expected to understand the knowledge of ethics, also called the study of moral philosophy, which is the study of what is right or wrong, what we ought to do and not to do in all cases. In this part of the course, you will develop the knowledge on how to make decisions on engineering ethics in your professional and personal lives.
