My name is Melleck Mukanda, a Mechanical Engineering learner, and I am excited to share this online learning space with you. This site is designed to support learning through well-organized course materials, activities, and resources.
Welcome to Fabrication Technology (FAT 102). This practical course covers basic metal fabrication: workshop safety, tools and measuring, cutting/bending/drilling, metal joining (welding/brazing/rivets) and a final mini project. The course is structured in 5 topics with guided activities, quizzes and a final practical project. For help, see the course guides in Resources.
This course provides practical skills and knowledge in fundamental mechanical engineering workshop operations. Learners will perform fitting, drilling, turning, and measuring tasks while applying safety principles and correct tool-handling procedures. The course emphasizes accuracy, teamwork, and professional workshop conduct, preparing trainees for industrial and maintenance applications. Each session includes observation, reporting, and performance assessment through the Workshop Practice Report.
