Basic Measuring & Marking (ES)

6 Modules

ES-1 Introduction to general engineering disciplines

At the end of this module the Learner will be able to:

• Describe certain concepts regarding people and practices in typical engineering environments.

ES-2 Standard linear measuring

At the end of this module the Learner will be able to describe standard metric linear measurements on the following instruments:

• Engineer’s steel rule
• Wooden folding rule
• Standard 2 or 3 meter tape measure.

ES-3 Engineering concepts

At the end of this module the Learner will be able to verbally and actively describe the following most basic engineering concepts or “standards”: (Including)
Flat Straight
Level Square
Squared off or “squarely” Round
Diameter Radius

ES-4 Using basic measuring instruments

At the end of this module the Learner will demonstrate his / her ability to obtain various measurements using conventional non-precision measuring instruments:

• To within one millimeter with tape measurers and folding rules
• To within 0,5 millimetres with an engineer’s steel rule
On the following surfaces:
• External surfaces
• Internal flat surfaces
• Internal round / cylinder surfaces.

ES-5 Engineering sketches / basic drawings

At the end of this module the Learner will demonstrate his/her ability to interpret basic information from a given engineering drawing an /or sketch in isometric and orthographic projection of a single component in terms of:

• Shape of object
• Dimensions of object (including tolerances)
• Basic hidden detail
• Material from which object is made
• Scale of drawing

ES-6 Marking off

At the end of this module the Learner will demonstrate his / her ability to mark-off detail, from drawing, to metal work piece using the following conventional hand-held instruments and tools:

• A scriber
• An “odd-leg” (Jenny) calliper
• A divider
• A machinists hammer
