This subject teaches trade theory for Motor and Diesel mechanics. This includes
fault diagnosis, causes and remedies and service procedures. A tradesman
will be equipped with the knowledge and understanding of a wide angle of
engineering principles. By using calculations and theory, the student will
develop an understanding of abstract atomic theory. Furthermore, the student
will obtain knowledge and understanding of how an electrical current together
with materials, matter and gases influences changes and enhances the provision
of electronically controlled equipment for use and consumption.
Provision of a formal qualification that will equip and prepare an individual effectively to pursue an opportunity in the many different work areas of Electricity or Electronics. Examples are domestic installations and maintenance, repairing and maintenance
of consumer equipment, installation and maintenance of business premises and the functioning and maintenance of high voltage
electrical networks within a company like Eskom. This course also serves as a basis to gaining further qualifications at other
tertiary institutions.
Engineering Drawings teaches students to identify the function of engineering
drawings, and interpret these drawings as an accurate and meaningful manner
of communication.
Engineering Science teaches scientific principles,
the use of correct science terminology, application
of SI units, use of symbols, formulas and
abbreviations.
This subject teaches learners how to operate and monitor drilling machines, milling machines, surface grinding machines and lathes. It also includes welding/joining of metals, heat exchangers and maintenance.
To obtain theoretical knowledge in installing, calibrating, maintaining
and programming computerised
equipment and instruments.
The content is presented with an engineering approach in conjunction with a highly supported integrated dimension for the other three subjects that follow. The mathematical subject provides an opportunity to gain a better understanding and enhance practical skills in a work environment.
This subject teaches different methods of fabrication including the use of triangulation, radial line and parallel line. Other aspects of fabrication that are covered include oxyacetylene cutting, arc welding, power machine cutting, bending and rolling of steel plates.
