Brief description of the Unit

This unit introduces students to the principles of engineering design and drafting. It utilises commonly used engineering software such as the AutoDESK software AutoCAD. The unit introduces the fundamentals of communicating a design through a technical drawing as well as introducing how to implement this within the computer software. Through practise and example, students will develop their skills to a level capable of modelling complicated objects or structures in two (2D) and three dimensions (3D) as well as developing the skills needs to determine key information from their models. By the end of the unit, students should be able to communicate intricate ideas with succinct diagrams to a deadline.

Grade Scheme:

Graded (HD, D, C, P, MF, F, XF)

Work Experience Indicator:

No work experience

Placement Component:

Supplementary Assessment:Yes

Where supplementary assessment is available a student must have failed overall in the Unit but gained a final mark of 45 per cent or above, has completed all major assessment tasks (including all sub-components where a task has multiple parts) as specified in the Unit Description and is not eligible for any other form of supplementary assessment

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of the unit the students are expected to be able to:

Knowledge:

K1.	Reproduce, reorganise and review engineering drawings.

K2.	Identify the correct usage of isometric, third angle, oblique and sectional drawing styles.

K3.	Outline relevant engineering drawing standards.

Skills:

S1.	Translate between different views of an object and develop two and three dimensional models.

S2.	Appraise the capabilities of engineering design software.

S3.	Use engineering drawings as communication tools.

Application of knowledge and skills:

A1.	Apply knowledge of drafting principles to produce high quality drawings.

A2.	Produce an estimate of quantities from two and three-dimensional models.

Unit Content:

•Basic techniques in technical drawing, incorporating third angle, isometric, sectioning, assembly drawings, dimensioning andtolerancing.
•Introduction to using computer software to undertake two and three dimensional modelling.
•Introduction to the methodology of engineering design incorporating a practical design task.
•Elective assignments focusing on mechanical, mining, civil, mechatronic or other relevant areas
