Description

This unit introduces students to technical drawing and the use of computer-aided design tools. Students will progress from hand sketching to engineering drawings that meet relevant Australian Standards and the use of computer-aided design tools.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply standard methods of graphic communication for engineers.
  2. Use CAD tools to effectively produce two-and three-dimensional drawings.
  3. Use hand sketches to effectively describe the size and features of objects.

Unit Content

  1. Engineering Drawing Theory: Abbreviations, numbering, lettering, line types, drawing sheet layouts. Orthogonal, isometric, oblique projection. Hidden detail, sectional views, surface texture. Electrical Diagrams. Dimensions, screw threads, tolerances, linear fits. Working drawings.
  2. Hand Sketching Practice: Orthogonal, isometric and oblique views Line types, shading. Dimensions, lettering.
  3. Computer-Aided Drawing Practice: Introduction to CAD. Files, views, grids, units and scale. Dimensions, text. Layers, line types, weights and colours. Tolerances. Hatching.
  4. An Introduction to Design Methodology Design considerations and processes Design optimisation using value analysis

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
