What will you be learning?This course is delivered in association with Southampton City College's Marine Technology Department, using Hamble Skills Centre's new workshops. The course is designed to give students an insight into what it would be like to work in the marine industry.Level 1 Course Students will learn the following units: > Working safely in an engineering environment > Developing yourself and working with other people on engineering activities. The two optional but recommended units for marine engineering are: > Making components using hand tools and fitting techniques (wood based materials). > Assembling mechanical components. Level 2 Course Essential (mandatory) units must be undertaken by all students. > Working safely in an engineering environment. > Developing yourself and working with other people on engineering activities. > Using and communicating technical information. > Marking out for engineering activities. The two recommended units for marine engineering are: > Using computer software packages to assist in engineering activities > Fitting using hand skills Additional units can be undertaken though will be subject to a surcharge. > Identifying and selecting engineering materials > Maintaining mechanical devices and systems > Producing engineering drawings using computer aided design > Making components from composite materials Enrichment Activities: A variety of enrichment is avaialble.
