WJEC Level 1/2 Engineering: Unit 2 Producing Engineering Products: Full Booklet & Supporting Lessons

(0)
This portfolio of work is suitable for Engineering students, specifically those taking WJEC Level 1/Level 2 Vocational Award in Engineering. This project has been approved by the WJEC for the teaching and assessment of Unit 2 - ‘Producing Engineering Products’. We teach our Engineering students to produce an ‘Interchangeable Hammer’. This has 6 components in total: 3 are assessed as part of this unit, 2 are used as ‘Skill Builders’ (at the start of year 10) and the last is rovided for the student (details are in the PowerPoint). In this pack is the portfolio that we print at A4 landscape for students. This includes all of the sheets they must complete, as well as technical drawings for the components they need to manufacture. The WJEC suggests that for Unit 2 students spend approximately 12 hours, including planning. I have also included a number of resources for other lessons that fall withing the teaching of the practical elements of the project (calculating lathe RPM, step-by-step instructions for display purposes). The project should be adjusted to match the processes that you are able to complete in your school. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!

WJEC Level 1/2 Engineering: 4 Week Skills-Builder Project - Welded Coat Hook

(0)
This portfolio of work is suitable for Engineering students, specifically those taking WJEC Level 1/Level 2 Vocational Award in Engineering. We use this project as a ‘Skill Builder’, which enables students to practice basic practical processes as well as having a ‘mock’ run through of some of the coursework they will have to submit for their Unit 2 Assessment (please see my other uploads). In this pack is the portfolio that we print at A4 landscape for students. This includes all of the sheets they must complete, as well as technical drawings for the components they need to manufacture. The WJEC suggests that for Unit 2 students spend approximately 12 hours, including planning. THis unit is designed to be taught over a 4 week period (at Year 11). The project should be adjusted to match the processes that you are able to complete in your school. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!

BTEC Coursework Supporting Resources

If you have purchased my booklets for Unit 2 or Unit 7 then you may be interested in the supporting documents that I use alongside these to help teach and explain the various elements of the two coursework units. This package includes a tracking spreadsheet for each unit, PowerPoints to help teach each individual topic as well as theory items to assist in specific pages. This will save you over 50% if you were to buy these items individually. Thanks for looking. Feedback always appreciated.

BTEC Level 2 Engineering: Unit 7 Tracking Spreadsheet

(0)
This is the tracking sheet that accompanies the Unit 7 Booklet that I have for sale. This spreadsheet is something that I display each lesson to the group to inform both them and me where each student is in the unit. Each column references a specific page in the booklet and each column is conditionally formatted to change depending on the data you enter; Entering 'y' = box turns green meaning work is completed Entering 'r' = box turns orange meaning work needs to be resubmitted Entering 'n' = box turns red meaning work was not completed Entering 'a' = box turns blue meaning student was absent when work was collected I have found this to be an invaluable resource during my lessons and the students are able to self-track and manage their work. I am uploading this without any password protection so that the entire workbook is editable if you wish to modify this as you wish. Feedback appreciated!

Graphics: A2 Subject Knowledge Content [COMPLETE]

(0)
This is a bundle of 14 presentations that cover the majority of the core subject content for A2 Level Edexcel Graphics. Some of these are as short as 1 lesson and some will last a few weeks. Built into most lessons is a task that will either form a homework or a piece of lesson work for the following lesson. These can easily be changed, removed or increased into a larger-scale mini project. This content only covers the theory side of the course in order to prepare students for the summer exam. I will take breaks at various points throughout the year in order to give students more time to focus on their coursework and practical project(s).

Graphics: Design Movement Project

(0)
I run this task as a short 3-4 week mini project in the summer term. I get the students to think about the 6 different design movements and then either let them pick or I may allocate one to each of them. - Arts & Crafts - Art Nouveau - Streamlining - Modernism - Art Deco - Post Modernism Each year I will change the theme of the project and this year I chose lighting. The end result will be a 'critique' that takes place in the school hall and all staff are invited to take part and ask questions. This prepares students for similar scenarios if they are choosing to study design-based courses at university.

Graphics: A Level Presentation Techniques

(1)
I run this task as a 4 week mini project with AS Level students to help boost the presentation of their coursework. I have included some of my own example of degree-level presentation work as well as images from product design and architectural presentation styles. The task is to complete a mini portfolio with research leading up to 3 presentation drawings using 3 different distinct styles. I usually ask for some form of analysis, mood board, development work and then the final images. The product they choose to present is almost irrelevant - they must focus on practising their presentation styles.

Graphics: Fourdrinier Process & Papers and Boards

(0)
This is a 3-lesson bundle that covers the basics of the Fourdrinier process as well as the different paper and board types available. I teach this to my AS level Graphics students but this could be used for KS4 also. There are a few 'lesson tasks' to choose from which revolve around students creating their own revision resource, either on the process itself of on the products that result from the process. I have also added my step-by-step process on how we make our own paper in school. This teaches students about the process and gives them a practical task to do. I ask them to bring in some old paper which could be newspaper, tissue paper or even small flowers and leaves. We then follow the process listed on the sheet and then leave the wet pulp sitting in the frames. I made these very quickly by making an A5 frame and stretching some netting over and attaching with a staple gun. If you would like more information about how I run the paper-making process please contact me and I will be happy to help.I find that this is a fun introductory task to AS level and helps students remember the process much better.

This is a quick presentation I give to my Engineering students to inform them about the processes of boring and knurling. The video links give them a good understanding of each process and there is a website link they can access for revision.

BTEC Level 2 Engineering: How to Evidence Unit 7 Machining Techniques

(0)
I run this lesson prior to starting the evidence-building for Unit 7 (Machining Techniques). This gives the students a good idea of the amount of evidence they will need to build as well as a physical 'tick list' that they can use to help guide them. Students can find it very difficult to build the necessary amount of evidence and this format allows them to become much more aware of the task at hand. This covers the BTEC Firsts in Engineering qualification for Level 1/2 learners in Key Stage 4. The criteria have been taken directly from the BTEC Specification and are directly related to the Unit 7 brief.

Engineering: Lathe Introduction & Risk Assessment

(0)
I run this lesson before letting any student work on the lathe. This teaches them about the different parts to the machine as well as what they do. Typically I run a demonstration whilst they complete the worksheet. The Risk Assessment task is important as they will have to complete a full Assessment for their Unit 7 paperwork (please see my other resources). This gives them the practice in order to complete this to a good standard but also serves to teach them about the important safety features of the machine.

Engineering: Workshop Safety Contract

(0)
This is the contract that I hand out to my Year 10 Engineers on the first lesson of the course. This informs them of the types of behaviour required to be successful in the course. I ask for both a student and parent signature. This has the added bonus of being able to be included in their Unit 7 Paperwork (please see my other resources) as part of the evidence for Task B4: Working Safely.
