Structural fabrication technology is the design, fabrication and construction of rigid support members for various applications. The technology involves the design, force analysis and simulation to obtain strong structures.
The module unit will impart in the trainee the competencies required to design and fabricate metal structures for use in diverse sector of economy. Trainees undertaking this module unit will require knowledge of engineering drawing, engineering materials, mathematics and engineering science
By the end of
the module unit the trainee
should be able to: a)
demonstrate safe working
habits in a workshop environment b) understand the working principle
of tools and equipment
used in metal structural fabrication c) acquire
knowledge and skills to design and estimate materials for a given job and task d) fabricate metal
structures to required
specification e) develop skills
and attitudes necessary
to care for and maintain
tools and equipment used in workshop
