what are Types of Continual Professional Development (CPD)

Back

1. Training/courses 2. Industry placement 3. Academic study 4. Events/seminars 5. Shadowing colleagues

Front

How does CPD improve performance

Back

- Training courses improve technical skill levels. - Industry placements provide ideas from successful engineers. - Academic study enhances subject knowledge/qualifications. - Events/seminars offer understanding of industry priorities. - Shadowing colleagues expands knowledge of workshop processes.

Front

Reasons for doing batch production over mass production

Back

1. Products are produced for a limited time before being replaced, so parts are needed in small groups. 2. Batch production allows use of the same machinery, increasing flexibility. 3. Batches can be customized for specific customers. 4. Material supply or market demand limitations may not justify mass production. 5. Financial implications may prevent mass production until payment is received for initial batches. 6. Mass production requires more automation, which can be costly.

Front

Purpose of exploded view drawings in engineering

Back

Exploded view drawings show the relationship/order of assembly of product parts by displaying them separated in 3D. This helps engineers understand how parts fit together for assembly or disassembly.

Front

Purposes of a flowchart drawing

Back

To show the steps/sequence of instructions in a program/process, indicating the order they must be followed. To give consistency of understanding of a process by using standard symbols to represent nodes/functions.
