  1. A Senior Cycle Option Subject which follows on from Metalwork but which may be started from scratch in Fifth Year with the rightAPTITUDE and ATTITUDE. Engineering

  2. Structure of Materials Properties of Materials Iron and Steel Non-Ferrous Metals Alloys Plastics Metrology Testing of Materials Manufacturing Design Heat Treatment The Lathe The Milling Machine Precision Grinding Theory of Metal Cutting Welding Adhesive Bonding Electronics Pneumatics CNC Special Topic Topics

  3. 5th Year Sept – Dec: All practical To acquire necessary skills. Jan – Easter: Short pieces of work based on course. Easter – June: Project Summer Test: (i) Design Project - 30%, (ii) Practical test - 30% (iii) Written test - 40% 6th Year Sept – Nov: All Theory This is the best time to get a clear run at the course. Nov – Mar - Project (Different every year) Feb – (Mock Exams) May – Practical Test (6hr) June – Written Test (3hr) Two Year Programme

  4. LCH Project 2014 • Design and make a model Batmobile Tumbler. • The model must have: 1. A rear propulsion system 2. A front steering mechanism 3. An automated door.

  5. LCO Project 2014 • Make a Model Jeep. • The model must have: 1. An electrical drive system 2. A decorative feature to enhance its appearance

  6. Higher Level Project 25% Practical 25% Theory 50% Ordinary Level Project 30% Practical 30% Theory 40% Assessment Note:The Practical Test is common to both levels.

  7. New Engineering Technology written by Lawrence Smyth and Liam Hennessy published by The Educational Company Textbook

  8. Reasons to do Engineering Good reasons: • Did Metalwork or MT Wood and liked it. • Have good Technological abilities. • Like how the assessment is arranged. • Would like to study Engineering in College??? • Fancy a career in some area of Engineering. Not so good reasons: • Like the sound of the word Engineering. • It’s all about engines, vroom, vroom! • Friends are doing it and I don’t want to be left out.

  9. Come down F6 and have a look around. Speak to JON or JM Chat to 5th or 6thyr. Engineering students. Have a look through the Textbook & Website. Need more info?

  10. Thanks for your attention! ANY QUESTIONS?
