Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Written Assignment 

This module is primarily computer laboratory based. Students will complete a series of guided and graded exercises as to how to effectively communicate through technical drawings (studio based) for the detailed design of manufactured engineering components and assemblies. You will undertake a series of integrated graded exercises which will allow you to express your ideas graphically to other engineers both manually and through the medium of 3D CAD (SolidWorks). Through the carefully constructed assignments the module introduces students to the concepts of computer assistance for engineers and teaches the basic skills of 3D modelling with an industry standard CAD package. A series of lectures in materials technology disseminates the knowledge to select appropriate materials during the design process.
