Course handbook
Description
This course enables students to develop basic spatial skill by using a solid modelling system. Students develop skills in interpreting and visualising 3D objects in 2D format. They create and assemble solid model representation of machine components and create 2D engineering drawings from solid models. Students develop advanced technical sketching skills to aid communication in engineering design.
Availability
Not currently offered.
This Course was last offered in Semester 1 - 2024.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Communicate through technical sketching.
2. Interchange engineering graphical information from 2D to 3D and back.
3. Demonstrate a foundational skill set with 3D solids modelling.
