Another space saving idea we use. This way we can simulate faults in a vehicle without having to store a whole car.

Lack of space is a big problem for us, so we try to maximise the use of our areas as much as possible. We had these vehicles modified by our Panel Repair and Spray Painting departments at Polytechnic West. They were originally purchased as accident damaged vehicles.

We use a simulated boat for our delivery of Marine Electrical training. No it doesnt float :-)

Sorry for the angle, I tried to rotate it but was unsuccessful. This shows one of our students using an oscilloscope to view the injector pulse on a commom rail diesel engine

This is our simulated Automotive Eelctrical workshop in our main delivery area in Perth

This is one of the workshop areas that we utilise at Murray Engineering. It is located in their Electrical equipment workshop.

This is a view of our training centre in Pinjarra, a rural area 75 kilometres south of Perth. This is a project between the Western Australian Government, a private mining equipmenmt company called Murray engineering and Polytechnic West (Training provider). This project is designed to increase industry involvement in training, as well as utilising industry resourses, such as workshop areas.

Practice in workshop

Many solutions of the problems must be found by help of computers. Here you can see an Volvo V70 with engine problem, communicate with a system called Vida.

Theoretical moments

When the students do their theoretical moments they often use there computers that they borrow from school. This school has what they call a one to one project, a computer to every student.
