Description
This module is intended to develop design and communication skills.
The module provides the student with skills to produce detailed and accurate working drawings using standard rules of Draughtsmanship. It will also give the student the ability to create two-dimensional orthographic views from three-dimensional objects and produce auxiliary views from these views.
The module will provide students with a solid foundation in 2 Dimensional CAD skills.
The student will have an understanding of the complexity of graphical communication. They will be able to select and use the most appropriate media/medium of communication to present simple design ideas.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Effectively communicate a design concept using the appropriate medium.
2.
Create detailed and accurate working drawings using standard rules of Draughtsmanship.
3.
Construct accurate orthographic views from pictorial views.
4.
Construct accurate first auxiliary plans and elevations of objects from orthographic views.
5.
Demonstrate a basic working knowledge of 2 Dimensional CAD drawing skills.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. This will include lectures, practical demonstrations and tutorial assistance in a computer laboratory and drawing studio. Students will be required to undertake assignments during classes and will be required to undertake additional project work in private study time. Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of lectures plus supplementary reading material).
