Indicative Content and Learning Activities

Team Project
A team of 4 students must design and build an electromechanical device that can compete in a competition at the end of semester 2. Student's communication, design, and fabrication skills are developed throughout semester 1 and 2. The syllabus covers; presentation using power point, poster presentation, drawing and E-Cad, project planning, metal fabrication, electronic assembly, report writing, engineering ethics and care of the environment.

Engineering Drawing
Lectures and studio sessions presenting and practicing engineering drawing. Reading engineering drawings; common drawing standards, line styles, sectioning, dimensioning, threads etc. Drawing components in first angle orthographic projection and sketching an object using pictorial representations (isometric, oblique and/or perspective) Using engineering drawing as a means of communication of engineering ideas and/or designs.
