The course comprises two parts - engineering metrology and computer assisted machining. It is the aim of this course to provide students with practical skills associated with each of these areas. Metrology activities include precision measurement of component features, form and geometry utilising specialised measuring instruments and equipment. Subsequent analysis and presentation of measurement data also form part of metrology. Computer assisted machining encompasses NC programming methods, program preparation, program verification and machining utilising computer software and technologies. The activities will be carried out individually and in groups.
This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories or practical classes for on-campus students.
