PEO: Welding and Fabrication

Welcome to Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) Welding and Fabrication!

This pathway is based on producing sheet metal components and assemblies, as well as using manual welding equipment.

Topics include:

  • Safe working practices. Working safely, understanding rules, risk assessments
  • Carrying out engineering activities. Following production plans and hitting deadlines
  • Communicating technical information. Understanding and producing engineering drawings
  • Producing sheet metal components and assemblies (<3mm)
  • Preparing and using manual TIG welding equipment
  • Preparing and using manual MIG welding or Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Assessment

All units are assessed against a set criteria. There is a holistic approach to assessment which involves a portfolio of evidence, witness testimonies and verbal questioning to measure knowledge and understanding of key principles.

Students must complete underpinning knowledge questions at the end of each unit (25-30 questions) as well as manufacture all parts within tolerance.
