Description

This unit provides students with further development in using a sophisticated design process to complete projects. To further develop an understanding of technical graphic communication through pictorial, orthographic and geometrical constructions as well as computer aided drafting and the use of CAM equipment that are required in Years 11-12. Students will develop further their practices using the Australian Standard Drawing Guidelines.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must have completed DTC2101

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Demonstrate competency and expertise in a range of pictorial, orthographic and geometrical drawings.
  2. Demonstrate high competency and expertise in using CAD software.
  3. Describe and discuss terminology, hardware and software features, and advantages and limitations of different CAD software.
  4. Input and output technical drawings with available computers, peripheral devices, and software.
  5. Demonstrate high competency in the use of a number of CAM machines including but not limited to 3D printers and Laser Cutters.
  6. Demonstrate the application of a sophisticated design process required by Year 11-12 students to given tasks.
