This unit is designed to introduce learners to health and safety issues in

engineering. It will help them to be aware of the potential hazards they may be

exposed to in engineering environments and cope with and reduce risks. This unit

provides some of the knowledge, understanding and skills for the Level 1

Performing Engineering Operations NOS Unit 1: Working Safely in an Engineering

Environment.

: Developing Skills in Making Engineering Components Using Hand Tools

:Developing Skills in Using a Bench-Pedestal Drilling Machine

:Developing Skills in Planning and Making a Machined Product

This unit will enable learners to develop manual skills when working with basic
assembly tools, so that they can apply them to assembling a product from a small
number of mechanical components. This unit provides some of the knowledge,
understanding and skills for the Level 1 Performing Engineering Operations NOS
Unit 5: Assembling Mechanical Components.

Developing Skills in Electronic Assembly

This unit introduces learners to the skills required to carry out the wiring and terminating of electrical circuits and components. It will give them the opportunity to think about the necessary precautions and safety requirements when preparing for wiring activities by learning about components, cables, tools and equipment when using appropriate terminations. This unit provides some of the knowledge, understanding and skills for the Level 1 Performing Engineering Operations NOS Unit 21: Wiring Electrical Equipment and Circuits.

This unit introduces learners to career opportunities in engineering and the
organisations that provide these opportunities. It encourages learners to make
informed choices about their potential career options.

This unit aims to give learners the knowledge and skills needed to use engineering
information such as drawings and working instructions to carry out manufacturing
or engineering process operations.
