JC Engineering Scheme of Work - BRIGHTER MINDS
Junior Cycle Engineering – Scheme of WorkFIRST YEARSUMMARYAt the end of their first year, students will understand engineering drawings, engineering room safety, common metals and plastics, basic benchwork, pillar drill, basic gears and electronic components, be confident in creating their own design drawings, and be able to manufacture and part-design a multi-part project in plastic and metal with simple integrated electronics such as LEDs or DC motors. Students will have studied the design process, created a Gantt chart for their project, carried out a small number of short research assignments and created a number of simple working programs for the micro:bit computer.

This will allow students in their third year to concentrate on CBA2, Final Project, and Final Exam. In their second year, students will gain a deeper experience and understanding of materials and engineering processes, design application and mechatronics (e.g. mechanisms, forces, structures, engines, electronic circuits and micro:bit programming). In their second year, students will also gain additional experience in planning, designing, manufacturing, testing and improving three more-complex and mechatronic practical projects.

In CBA2, students will be preparing and planning for the design element of their Final Project.Supervise the students’ research, their analysis of their research, and the production of their documentation / presentation. Encourage good research, design thinking / multiple potential solutions, and the students’ own critical evaluation and improvement of their work. FINAL YEAR PROJECT SEC will release production drawings for the project. There will also be a design element to the project that will relate to research work carried out in CBA2. Encourage students to create a design and manufacturing plan, to keep track of their progress, take corrective action and keep their plan updated. Encourage students to produce design drawings, justification of their design, production of Bill of Materials, processes required, tools and equipment chosen. Revision and CHRISTMAS ExamsFINAL YEAR PROJECT ContinuedEncourage students to update their manufacturing, testing and improvement plan, and to start their project documentation early. Supervise students in their manufacturing, testing, evaluation, improvement, time management, and documentation of their projects.Revision and EASTER Exams12 – Engineering in Our WorldICT: Computers, parts, ICs, data, input/output devices, software, networks, wireless, internet, applications of ICTAutomation, Robotics and CNC Control.
