This course continues the development undertaken in MEC2901 and MEC2902 and falls naturally into three parts: set tasks to develop specific skills and knowledge, a few broader tasks to develop team skills as well as consolidating the skills and knowledge in part 1, and reflection on the activities and outcomes of parts 1 and 2.  The course has two main topic sections: metrology practical tests and computer-assisted machining.
