Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions Engineering Diploma Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions This unit will give you the opportunity to undertake your own project, producing an engineered product or carrying out an engineering service such as maintenance, installation or commissioning. As part of your duties, you will have to identify what you need to do and plan the process. You will need to take into account the machinery or tools needed and select the materials required. When you have finished, you will have to carry out an inspection.

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions L2 U4 Learning Outcomes: Understand health and safety procedures, standards and risk assessment in engineering activities Be able to plan for an engineering product or services Be able to select suitable materials, parts or components for an engineered product or service Be able to use processes, tools and equipment to make an engineered product or carry out a service Be able to apply inspection techniques to the engineered product or service Next >

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions The engineering theme for this module will be based around hydraulics technology Hydraulics is the use of pressurised oil to operate machines You will also gain an insight into mechanical and electronics systems You will asked to set up an hydraulic system You may also be asked to make a sign for the operating lever or a carry system for holding the load A large part of this unit will involve looking at health and safety, risk assessments and planning Engineering theme: Next >

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions Applications of hydraulics: Production machinery Robotics Aerospace Transportation systems Cranes Construction machines Mining Next >

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions The tasks for this unit are based around a hydraulic system for a tipper truck. Your report must cover the following: What are the health and safety procedures and standards that are appropriate? Why could a risk assessment be necessary prior to the activity? Describe the responsibilities of yourself and others in relation to the engineering activity. What are the substances or processes where a risk assessment will be necessary for the engineering activity that you are about to carry out? State the reasons for this. Compare the health and safety responsibilities of yourself and others when working on the engineering activity that you have been given. Carry out a risk assessment identifying the hazards and risks, stating whether the risk is acceptable and how it can be controlled. Next > Task 1 Carry out a health and safety analysis and risk assessment for hydraulic system and write a short report.

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions Your report must cover the following: Explain the reason for using the sequence of operations and the choice of tools and equipment for your engineering activity plan. Once you have used your plan, identify and suggest possible improvements. Record and explain your suggestions and their intended results. Decide how you will inspect and test the system to decide if it is functioning correctly. Task 2 Produce a plan for the engineering activity that you are required to carry out which includes the following: materials or components, tools and equipment sequence of operations. Write a short report. Next >

Level 2 Unit 4 Producing Engineering Solutions Task 3 Use the plan to identify parts and components for producing the system. Follow the plan to build the system. Select and use processes, tools and equipment in a safe manner. Your report must cover the following: Explain and justify choices. Inspect the system to check it complies with plan. Record key measurements and compare results with the plan to assess compliance. Evaluate your use of inspection techniques and the results obtained. Explain what you have learnt during the process and what might be done differently. End >
