People credited with this unit standard are able to – select; use, and care for engineering dimensional measuring equipment. 

Examples of engineering dimensional measuring equipment are – vernier callipers; internal, external, and depth micrometers; dial test indicator (DTI); height gauges; steel rules.

To pass this assessment I need to provide evidence that I can select the correct equipment in accordance with the geometry of the object to be measured, likely magnitude of dimensions, and required accuracy. 

I also need to show that I can carry out equipment checks before use and any faults are reported, examples are – deformation, breakages, stickiness, not zeroing, missing parts, expired calibration. 

My evidence to support my assessment booklet will need to show a micrometer; vernier callipers; and two other items of dimensional measuring equipment from the list above.

My evidence of using Dimensional measuring equipment.

Vernier Caliper What are you measuring? 25mmx25mm square bar What is the accuracy and range of the device? 150mm+/-0.1mm What was the dimension you recorded? 25.1mm How did you check it? By using the 4 tools that I use for measuring on a 25mmx25mm square bar: vernier caliper, vernier height gauge, steel ruler, and micrometer
Micrometer What are you measuring? 25mmx25mm square bar What is the accuracy and range of the device? 25mm+/-0.01mm What was the dimension you recorded? 25.1mm How did you check it? By using the 4 tools that I use for measuring on a 25mmx25mm square bar: vernier caliper, vernier height gauge, steel ruler, and micrometer
Vernier Height Gauge  What are you measuring? 25mmx25mm square bar What is the accuracy and range of the device? 30cm+/-0.1mm What was the dimension you recorded? 25.1mm How did you check it? By using the 4 tools that I use for measuring on a 25mmx25mm square bar: vernier caliper, vernier height gauge, steel ruler, and micrometer
Steel Rule  What are you measuring? 25mmx25mm square bar What is the accuracy and range of the device? 300mm+/-0.5mm What was the dimension you recorded? 25.1mm How did you check it? By using the 4 tools that I use for measuring on a 25mmx25mm square bar: vernier caliper, vernier height gauge, steel ruler, and micrometer

What have I learnt?

I learnt how to use a variety of measuring tools for my project.

What was the most difficult tool to use and why?

The micrometer was confusing to use because of how on point it has to be.

What did I enjoy?

I enjoyed learning more about measuring devices that I could not use before.

What would I do differently next time?

Use the micrometer more to measure my materials if I wanted an accurate answer.

How to work out if a Network is Transferrable

 Leonhard Euler

Konigsberg Bridge Problem Research

When are networks transferrable/solution?

• If there are 2 odd nodes the network is transferrable but you can only start at one odd node and finish on the other odd node.
• If there are 0 odd nodes you are able to draw the diagram without moving the pen off the paper.
• If there are more than 2 odd nodes the network will not be transferrable and would be impossible to figure out.
• If all nodes are even along with the edges then it should be transferrable.

What is a network?

A network is a series of objects or nodes that are connected to each other in a sequence. The nodes(roots) what the edges(links) connect to. It is a way to graph things such as distance making it so you can figure out the longest and shortest way to the end of a network.

Who was Leonhard Euler?

Leonhard Euler was known as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician, and engineer who made a lot of discoveries in the maths field such as notation for mathematical analysis and analytic number theory.

Do you know how to work out a transferrable network?

Be Assertive Learning Review

 We have been learning how to speak with people using different language gestures such as assertive, passive, indirect, and aggressive. 

Link

1. What are the four types of behavioural responses, and what does each mean (in your own words)?

Passive - accepting what happens. Not really association.

Aggressive - Being frustrated towards someone or taking your anger out on someone

Assertive - Having a positive attitude towards someone.

Indirect - Speaking through notes emails or messages is a type of indirect communication.

2. What is the definition of Assertive Communication?

Having a positive attitude while talking with someone. It can include eye contact, good listening, and having a smile.

3. What are the three ‘describes’? When should you use them?

Describe the situation - you could possibly use this when you are in a situation with the police.

Describe your feelings - When someone could be feeling down you could tell them what is good about them and tell them that things will be better and try to cheer them up

Describe the changes you want - you could use this when you are setting goals.

4. List and explain 5 of the ‘Assertive Communication Tools’. Think of your own example for each.

Acknowledge their feelings - 

Be positive - When talking with someone have a positive vibe.

Thank them - When someone is serving you thank them after you have received your food

Ask for their help - When you are stuck on something you can ask for someone's help

Focus - if you have set a goal you can focus on it to achieve it.

5. List and explain in your own words 3 barriers to assertive communication.

Gender - Don't be gender racial

Cultural - Don't treat someone's culture as a bad thing

Bias - When talking in a group treat everyone equally.

6. What does assertive communication look like?

When someone is making eye contact and looking positive with a smile.

7. What does assertive communication sound like?

When someone is being positive and they are listening to what is being said.

8. What does it mean to act like a scratched record when it comes to your boundaries?

Someone that could possibly not be focused or someone that is doing negative stuff.

9. Think back to a time when you or a friend used a behavioural response that was not assertive. What type was it? What did you say? What happened as a result? What could you have done differently?

My friend kept on helping me with my work and I was thankful for it but I didn't want him to waste any more time on helping me and that he should do his own work. He kept on ignoring me and wanting to help me which was annoying me and then it got aggressive. We hadn't talked till the next day.

Aggressive/passive

Example: My friend kept cancelling on me, and so I just stopped reaching out to her or making any plans with her. This was a passive response and as a result, our friendship disintegrated. I could have let her know my feelings and the changes I wanted to see, and perhaps that would have repaired the relationship.

10. Reflect on your behavioural responses until now. How do you usually respond to tricky situations? Do you want to change the way you respond, moving forward? What will you try to remember in the future when difficult situations arise?

I usually speak either in an assertive or passive response because there is no point in being aggressive or indirect.

Maths Facts - Shapes

 Equilateral

In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_triangle

Quadrilateral

In Euclidean plane geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges (sides) and four vertices (corners). Sometimes, the term quadrangle is used, by analogy with triangle, and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided) and hexagon (6-sided), or 4-gon for consistency with k-gons for arbitrary values of k.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

What a Square is:

A square is a quadrilateral, which refers it to having 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles(90-degree angles also known as 4 90-degree angles).

What a Rectangle is:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles(4 90-degree angles). It can also be known as an equiangular quadrilateral because all the angles are equal. It can also be known as an oblong, a non-square rectangle.

What a Parallelogram is:

A parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. The opposite/facing sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal as well. 

What a Trapezoid is:

On a trapezoid, the parallel sides are known as the legs and the other 2 sides are known as the legs. A trapezoid is similar to a trapezium but it has different angles and the parallel sides are uneven in size. There are many types of a trapezoid, one for example is an isosceles trapezoid(having 2 equal sides).

What a Kite is:

A kite shape is a geometric shape with 2 pairs of equal sides, it is also a quadrilateral shape. The inside of a kite shape can contain a perfectly measured circle that just brushes the sides. It can be either a concave or convex shape aswell.

Do you know the difference between a trapezium and a trapezoid?

Can Crusher Overall - Baylie

These are photos of the finished project I had completed recently called the can crusher. I had learnt skills like how to MIG weld and also gas weld, I had also learnt how to use the lathe. There are a lot of things I can improve such as my welding skill because my welds looked off at some parts. I had also MIG welded the endplate because of the issues of the gas welder that someone had tampered with. Overall it was a great project and it can show off your skills really well. I had a lot of fun doing it and I would like to see myself use these skills in the future.

Written Instructions

From: Administration

To: Staff Members

CC: Office Manager

Date: 18 August 2020

Subject: Fire Evacuation Instructions

Hello everyone,

The administration team have written a new set of fire evacuation instructions that will be sent through emails and will have copies of it around the main points of the workplace. Please read all instruction carefully and take them seriously.

1. When the fire alarm goes off everyone inside the building is expected to meet at the main assembly point.

2. Make sure there is nothing blocking the emergency exits.

3. Do not enter the building until you have been told it's clear by a fire safety officer.

I hope you guys can understand these rules clearly and abide by them if there are any problems let the administration team know. These rules can also be used for your own household if needed.

Cheers,

Meg Williams

Engineering Evidence Blog - Hand Tools

Baylie Raxworthy

132030449 

This is an entry-level unit standard for people to demonstrate a basic understanding of selecting, using and caring for the correct type of engineering hand tools. 

People credited with this unit standard are able to demonstrate knowledge of the selection of different types of hand tools; select and use engineering hand tools to meet task requirements; and care for engineering hand tools. 

Engineering hand tools applicable to this unit standard fall within the following categories:

 Cutting tools: examples – hacksaws, chisels, files, hole punches, tin snips. 

Assembly tools: examples – hammers, punches, vices, clamps, spanners, wrenches (including impact and torque), pliers.

My evidence to support my assessment booklet 

Cutting tools.

	Hack saw  In this photo I am using a 32 tpi hacksaw to cut my bar that is 410mm long 16mm wide and has a thickness of 4mm.
	Metal file  Here I am using a flat file to square my bar that is 410mm long 16mm wide and thickness of 4mm.
	Tin snips I am using tin snipes to cut sheet metal that is 110mm wide 65mm long and 1.5mm thick.

Assembly tools 

	Spanner or wrench I was tightening the nut on the mil for my work
	Hammer Here I am using a hammer and a centre punch to mark where I am going to drill an 8mm hole so I can place a bolt into it.
	Gripping tools I am using a clamp to hold my work together to wield to create a frame for my project.

What have I learnt?

I learnt how to use a range of hand tools during the year since this is my first year in engineering. I have gained a bunch of experience around tools, what they do, and how to use them.

What was the most difficult tool to use and why?

I think the file was one of the most difficult to use just because it was very time consuming and you had to try to make everything as square as possible.

What did I enjoy?

I enjoyed wielding the frame because it was satisfying watching it come together.

What would I do differently next time?

Faster production definitely so I can meet the deadline and start another project.

Review

RE: Use of Bins

4 August 2020

To: Jenny McCabe

Hello Jenny,

I am writing this review to inform you about the behaviour of the staff and their use of the bins.

• The food bin is not empty often which leaves a bad odour and mould growth
• They think it is a waste of time putting the bins out
• They often forget what bin to place their items in

Those are the mains points of what the current situation is but other than that the system is going well.

Regards,

John Flon
