Prior To The Project, I Had Limited Exposure To Writing

Prior to the project, I had limited exposure to writing risk assessments, as I have already completed some in science. During the course of this project, we expanded on my existing knowledge and I leaned about the content of risk assessments and how to write one correctly. They were useful because after writing a risk assessment for the spot welder I was able to identify all the hazards and dangers associated with that piece of equipment. I then felt confident with using it safely. I encountered a minor injury while using a junior hacksaw on the burr from the sheet metal. To deal with this I ran my finger under the cold tap and then put a plaster on to stop the bleeding. Another safety issue that accrued while creating my toolbox was that†¦show more content†¦As well as using spot welding I also used pop riveting to join the sheet metal together. To create my handle I used the forging machine to heat the metal up so that I was then able to bend it to the correct shape and angles. As well as using the junior hacksaw to cut the sheet metal I used the multi-forming press break and sheer to cut a straight line on the sheet metal. Overall I used two forming fabrication processes, two joining and two cutting processes. When measuring out my component blank I used a ruler to measure the lengths and widths. To make sure that the angles were correct on my component blank I used a protractor, this was to ensure that they were as accurate as possible. To make sure that my components were cut out accurately, I first cut a straight line on one of the sides of the box, I then cut another straight line using the t-square at a 90-degree angle to my first line. These lines are my datum lines and they are what I measured all my measurements from so that they were accurate. Before I started creating my toolbox, I was given drawings, which had the measurements and tolerances. I then had to interpret these drawings to create my toolbox. While creating the toolbox I had to take into consideration a tolerance of +-0.5mm on any straight lines that were cut, and +-1.00mm on bends that were made. This meant that I had to make sure that theShow MoreRelatedThis reflective writing is precisely focused on computer programming (scratch ) taught to one of1700 Words   |  7 PagesThis reflective writing is precisely focused on computer programming (scratch ) taught to one of the local primary and secondary schools around Galway as part of the outreach project initiative prepared and scheduled by GMIT civic engagement for engineering students in order for them to obtain vital experience through making an academic participation and contribution out to the community.

The report showed that nearly four million elementary students received no arts education and approximately 1.3 million elementary students received no music education (Walker, 2012).
