The practical exposure of the student through direct participation in the work of an industry, to real life working condition. During the training, the student acquires a familiarity with Engineering works, organization, physical layout, and the flow of information, materials and operations. This information is expected to complement and integrate the student’s classroom instruction and laboratory/workshop exercises. Duration: 6 months. 500 Level

Practical experience in a workshop or industrial production facility, construction site or special centres in the university environment, considered suitable for relevant practical/industrial working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major. The students are exposed to hands-on activities on workshop safety and ethics, maintenance of tools, equipment and machines, welding, fabrication and foundry equipment, production of simple devices; electrical circuits, wiring and installation (8-10 weeks during the long vacation following 200 level) 300 Level

On-the-job experience in industry chosen for practical working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major (Students are to proceed on three months of work experience i.e., 12 weeks during the long vacation following 300 level). Students are engaged in the more advanced workshops, indoor software design training similar to what they will use in the industry and outdoor construction activities to sharpen their skills. The use of relevant animation videos that mimic industrial scenarios is encouraged. Students are to write a report at the end of the training. As much as possible, students should be assisted and encouraged to secure 3 months placement in the industry. Examples of outline of activities and experiences to which students are expected to be exposed to earn prescribed credits include: Section A: Welding and fabrication processes, automobile repairs, · lathe machine operations: machining and turning of simple machine elements, such as screw threads, bolts, gears, etc. Simple milling machine operations, machine tool maintenance and trouble- shooting, and wooden furniture making processes. Section B: Mechanical design with computer graphics and CAD modelling and drafting. Introduction to Solidworks: software capabilities, design methodologies and applications. Basics part modelling: sketching with SolidWorks, building 3D components, using extruded Bose base · Basic assembly modelling, and solidWorks drawing drafting. Top-down assembly technique exploded view, exploded line sketch. Introduction to PDMS 3D design software; autoCAD mechanical, SPSS. A comprehensive case study design project. The student should be introduced to the concept of product/component design and innovation and then be given a comprehensive design project. Examples of projects should include the following: . Design of machine components; . Product design and innovation; . Part modelling and drafting in SolidWorks; and . Technical report writing. 400 Level GET 402 Engineering Project I (2 Units: C; PH 90) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. Complete the design phase of a complex engineering problem sourced from industry or community during the SIWES III programme. 2. Demonstrate the connection between engineering product-making and the theoretical courses they have learned following the applicable industry best practices. Course Contents In the second semester of the 400-level students, preferably in groups, work from the university on the identified industry or organization to tackle industry complex engineering problems. Theoretical issues may be provided by the department faculty or industry experts. During the vacation, students will now work full time with the organisation/industry on the project as part of the SIWES III. The students can also go beyond the department and engage in multidisciplinary undertakings. Literature survey, review of existing systems etc. must be achieved to a satisfactory extent. GET 404 Engineering Valuation and Appraisal (2 Units: C; LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. Identify at least three (3) objectives of engineering valuation work, valuer's primary duty and responsibility and valuation terminologies. 2. Describe at least four (4) Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society. 3. Demonstrate with example the engineering valuation methods, valuation standards, and practices. 4. Prepare engineering valuation and appraisal reports and review 5. Discuss expert witnessing and ethics in valuation. 6. Determine price, cost, value, depreciation and obsolescence in real property, personal property, personal property, machinery and equipment, oil, gas, mines, and quarries valuation.
