Unit Code: MEA304

Unit Name: Workshop Calculation

Description: The purpose of this Unit is to provide participants with the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to perform fundamental mathematical procedures and processes for the solution of engineering problems, particularly the use of vector analysis and the Linear Motion series. The subject aims to show the relevance of mathematics to engineering and applied sciences. In conjunction with Engineering Mechanics, this Unit also facilitates articulation to Certificate courses in all streams of Engineering and forms a basis for more specialist branches of mathematics.

Learning Target Outcomes: On completion of this unit, students should be able to: 1. Apply knowledge of mathematics to calculate lengths in the metric system and areas and volumes of geometric forms, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to wide practical procedures and practices. 2. Identifies relevant constraints and requirements, sets out an accurate description of the problem, and explains statistical methods to solve two unknown quantities related to workshop problems. 3. Calculate Spindle, Cutting speed, feed rate and time taken for different operations. 4. Exercise SOHCAHTOA to solve trigonometry problems and re-state Pythagoras Theorem to solve triangular problems. 5. Use linear and quadratic equations to solve industry-related problems, e.g. Parabolic motion.
