Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
MEM30012 Apply mathematical techniques in a manufacturing engineering or related environment
Course Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to determine stresses and their effect on the strength and stability of simple structures and mechanical components in centrally-loaded bolted connections, fillet and butt-welded connections. It includes the verification of the stress levels using appropriate reference material such as design manuals, handbooks, relevant codes and regulations, databases and manufacturers' references.
The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support in manufacturing or engineering operations and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level. All work is carried out under supervision.
