Develops basic spatial skill through the use of a solid modelling system. Skills at interpreting and visualizing 3D objects in 2D format are developed. Creation and assembly of solid model representation of machine components. Creating 2D engineering drawings from solid models. Development of advanced technical sketching skills to aid communication in engineering design. Exposure to basic workshop practice techniques and application of the basic skills to undertake a project.

To comply with Occupational Health and Safety regulations, students are required to have basic person protection equipment (PPE) from week 1 which will cost a minimum of $60. Specific requirements are contained in the course outline available through the GENG1000 Blackboard site which students can access after they have enrolled.
