The Workforce Skills
Qualification Precision Engineering (WSQ PE)
Graduate Diploma in Design and Processes is a
joint programme by Nanyang Technological
University, College of Professional and Continuing Education (NTU-CoPaCE)
and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA).
The objective of the course is to inculcate the
core competencies including fundamental
knowledge and skills in precision engineering
design and processes necessary for managers and
engineers in precision engineering related
manufacturing industries. Participants will gain
basic knowledge, techniques and skills in
precision engineering design and various
processes that are used in the manufacturing
industry. They have to complete the 2 core
modules and any 3 out of the 6 electives offered

Today, engineering drawings are used to define or describe most
manufactured parts. In each of these parts, tolerances are
specified to cater for the variations encountered in the
manufacturing process. This is to ensure that acceptable levels
of variation and quality for each geometric feature can be
achieved when parts are assembled together to form an
engineering product.
As mechanical designs can be complex involving numerous parts
and sub-assemblies, increasingly more firms are required to
specify and interpret GD&T symbols on these drawings so that
better clarity and acceptance rates can be achieved. This course
seeks to look at the GD&T language and its related symbols, its
concepts and rules as well as to read, interpret and specify
them so that greater technical and productivity can be achieved.
This course relates to all personnel needing to read engineering
drawings for design and drafting. |

Measurement at the
micro, meso and nano level is utmost importance
to meet the challenging needs of today’s
engineering needs. This course in this context
focuses on giving conceptual and exercise
oriented training of measurement methodologies
employing optical concepts currently employed
optical metrological methodologies and related
equipments and its relevance to industry.
Current developments and importance of new
optical metrological concepts and tools for
measurement with the required accuracy will also
be introduced to the students. The course will
focus on reinforcing the measurement concepts
practiced in optics industries through case
studies. It will also cover latest developments
and challenges (both at industry and research
and developmental stages) in optical
measurements.
This course relates to all personnel needing to
apply and learn measurement methods and
measuring Instruments in engineering ranging
from manufacturing, inspection, to procurement.
Through the course it may assist them to better
manage their project scope, correct choice of
instruments, quality problem solving and cost. |

Vacuum Systems are
widely used in the precision engineering and
manufacturing industries. The benefits and
applications of vacuum technology are obvious.
Less obvious are how these systems operate and
how they are maintained. This course, therefore,
is designed to familiarise participants with the
essential understanding of how to design,
operate and maintain vacuum systems.
This course relates to all personnel needing to
design, operate and maintain vacuum systems.
Through the course, it would be assist them to
better manage vacuum systems resulting in
improved performance, quality and cost. |

Best-selling
products are not only innovative and satisfy
customer needs, they are of high quality and are
value for money. Under-pinning a best-selling
product are ease of manufacture and assembly;
typically 53% of all manufacturing time is due
to assembly while 75% of the cost of a
manufactured product is determined at the design
stage. It is imperative then to learn about the
underlying principles of design for ease of
assembly.
The objective of the course is to teach the
principles and techniques to design for ease of
assembly, designed for technical personnel in
design, manufacturing, process and quality
control. After the course, participants can
appreciate the underlying principles and rules
for manufacturing a high quality, cost-effective
product.
This course relates to all technical personnel
in design, manufacturing, process and quality
control department.

Lean Six Sigma
methodology is used in many industries in its
drive for enhancing innovation and productivity.
This programme gives participants a
comprehensive understanding of how Lean Six
Sigma works to generate the benefits it offers.
Participants receive an overview of the key
principles, strategies and tools used in Lean
Six Sigma initiative and how this methodology
can get and keep your organization on the road
to success.
The Lean Six Sigma course focuses on process
improvement through waste elimination and
variation reduction. It is applied on processes
that are inefficient and ineffective. The
applications of tools are not restricted to
manufacturing or engineering processes, it could
also be applied to transactional process in
Human Resources, Finance or Customer Services.
The course primarily aims to enable all course
participants to improve process efficiency and
effectiveness for productivity and innovation
gain in their organisation.

Mechanical designs can be complex
involving numerous parts and sub-assemblies. In the manufacture
of these parts and sub-assemblies, they are subjected to
variation. Hence, a better understanding of their form, fit and
function is vital. For better clarity and quality acceptance,
more firms are now specifying their engineering drawings using
GD&T symbols so as to better control its geometric and
functional characteristics. Tolerance stackup methods are then
used to ensure that the cumulative effects of these tolerances
are acceptable to the functional aspects in a sub-assembly. In
this course, a disciplined tolerance stickup and analysis
approach would be applied on engineering part assemblies subject
to different and multiple GD&T specifications. |

Applying Statistics
for Lean Six Sigma builds measurement and
analytical skills that enable more refined and
sophisticated use of data. These newly acquired
skills and techniques then become the "power
tools" which all Lean Six Sigma Practitioners
apply when charts, graphs and "descriptive" data
methods fall short.
Just as important as how to apply these
analytical methods, this workshop emphasises
when and why statistical tools should be applied
to add value to the organisation.
