a. Develop a critical approach evaluate the level of accuracy of a range of making tools and measuring instruments;
b. Associate setting out, marking and cutting operations to primary datum to produce an engineering component from sheet metal or steel profiles; c. Engage with literature on current developments on single point cutting tools;
d. Develop a critical understanding of typical joint configuration, edge preparation and the most advantageous weld position during production that could be adopted to ensure quality;
e. Critically evaluate jointing processes used on a typical engineering component against product design for cheap production and against the maintenance and repair requirements when in use to re-use;
f. Develop an understanding of a good workshop layout.  

a. Communicate how the following precision instruments are designed and used: micrometre, veneer callipers, veneer depth gauges, veneer height gauges, slip gauges;
b. Explain the use of weld joints, typical joint configuration, edge preparation and weld positions for a range of situations;
c. Explain the characteristics of different twist drills such as, twits drills for steel and aluminium, masonry carbide twist drills;
d. Explain the main characteristics of fasteners such as: Bolts and nuts, screws, self-taping screws, rivets, pop-rivets etc.;
