Unit Code: MEA305

Unit Name: Workshop Science

Description: This Unit is an introduction to learning and applying the principles required to solve engineering mechanics problems. Students will apply concepts in this Unit from previous courses they have taken in basic mathematics. The Unit addresses the modelling and analysis of static equilibrium problems, emphasizing real-world engineering applications and problem-solving. This Unit offers the development of intermediate scientific knowledge and skills for mechanical trades trainees.

Learning Target Outcomes: On completion of this unit, students will be able to: 1. Apply knowledge of heat and temperature and forces on different materials, engineering fundamentals and engineering to wide practical procedures and practices. 2. Apply knowledge of causes of friction and its effect on moving parts and an engineering specialization to wide practical procedures and practices. 3. Apply knowledge on work done, energy, power, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to wide practical procedures and practices. 4. Identifies relevant machine types and requirements and sets out an accurate description of the problems involving machines. 5. Apply knowledge of Fluid pressure, Archimedes Principle, Linear Motion in resolving mechanical problems, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to wide practical procedures and practices.
