Cambridge Advanced National (AAQ) in Engineering Digital Student Book Optional Unit F136 (2 Years)

This digital student book offers comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge Advanced National in Engineering Unit F136: Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM). Mapped to the OCR specification, this book has been designed to help students and teachers build the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the new qualification. Ideal as both a learning and reference tool, it is structured to follow the order of the specification and unpack its content in an easy-to-follow, digestible way. It will help students learn key concepts and information, while providing teachers with guidance on the breadth and depth of content they're required to teach. Written by Andrew Hewitt, an experienced teacher and practitioner, this book will help students to understand how Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) systems are used in manufacturing. It will support them to develop the skills needed to program and use computer numerical control (CNC) machines to produce prototypes. They will also learn how to use CAD and CAM to manufacture a component and to evaluate a component against a working drawing. As well as this, they’ll explore how CAM now plays a critical role in driving technological advancement and is an ever-developing tool that affords design engineers new possibilities within creative product design. This book is written to be engaging and motivating. “Learning in Context” examples help students relate the concepts they are learning to the real world, and worked examples guide their development of essential skills, step-by-step. Furthermore, frequent quick-check questions help them to assess their progress and understanding of each topic. The flexible digital format means content can be accessed anywhere, at anytime. We are working towards endorsement by OCR.
