Description To provide an introduction to the design process and the use of different design methods To introduce students to computer aided drafting. To develop students skills in the use of computer aided drawing for the production of 3-D design (6 weeks) and then 2-D mechanical drawings (6 weeks), using a complex and standard components. To engender an appreciation in the student of the importance of CADD to engineering product design and development. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Associate the different elements in the design process and the use of different design methods. 2. Distinguish the range and application of various design elements available to the Engineer. 3. Formulate solutions to design problems. 4. Construct 3d model. 5. Construct 2d drawing. 6. Produce final CAD drawings with appropriate dimension, tolerance and surface finish. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
