Engineering drawing 2

3 points - 6 hours per week, including one 1-hour lecture and 2 studio hours and 3 independent study hours - Second semester - Caulfield - Prerequisites: IDE2201, DIS2109

Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should have proficiency in CAD drafting, and understand its benefit over manual drafting; be able to supply advanced technical and engineering drawing skills via electronic mean; by including dimensional analysis and modelling techniques; be able to apply appropriate drawing and dimensional conventions in accordance with Australian Standards AS1100, competently; and have an understanding of those principles by application to simple products.

Synopsis Students complete exercises and project work to further develop the principles of engineering and geometrical drawing. Content includes the study of interpretation of polyhedron forms including prisms, cones, pyramids, cylinders, and the development of 3D form from flat sheet material. Basic engineering procedures of progressively developing layout drawings, to piece part detailing, then using those details to validate against the original layout are examined. Students develop self-checking procedures.

Assessment Set exercises and assignments: 50% - Examination: 50%
