Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Processes and Procedures Training

Learning Outcomes

• Describe the key processes and procedures in mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines.
• Identify and explain the documentation and reporting standards used in engineering workflows.
• Apply basic engineering principles to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
• Demonstrate understanding of safety and compliance procedures within engineering environments.
• Analyze the role of quality assurance and control in engineering processes.
• Evaluate the impact of engineering procedures on project timelines and deliverables.

Target Audience

This course is designed for administrative staff, junior engineers, technicians, and non-engineering professionals who interact with mechanical and electrical engineering teams and need to understand core processes and procedures.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component provides hands-on experience with real mechanical and electrical equipment, reinforcing the theoretical concepts covered in the course. Learners will perform installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks individually and in teams, developing critical skills for workplace application.

Practical Activities

• Mechanical System Inspection and Lubrication — Learners inspect a gearbox and bearing assembly, perform lubrication, and measure alignment using dial indicators. (3h)
• Electrical Motor Testing and Control Circuit Wiring — Learners wire a motor control circuit (start/stop), test insulation resistance, and measure voltage and current. (3h)
• Troubleshooting a Pump-Motor System — Learners diagnose and rectify faults in a coupled pump-motor system using vibration analysis and electrical checks. (3h)
• Integrated Maintenance Task and Reporting — Learners plan and execute a complete maintenance task on a conveyor system, including mechanical and electrical checks, and complete a maintenance report. (3h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
