Description
This module is intended to develop design and communication skills.
The module provides the student the ability to create and interpret section views projected from two-dimensional orthographic views. Students will also gain the ability to find the true shape of surfaces through development and also find the lines of intersection between intersecting objects.
The module will provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of 2Dimensional CAD drawing methods.
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 complex design ideas.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Effectively communicate through visual, verbal and written presentations, utilising appropriate language, terminology and representational graphics.
2.
Create and interpret section views projected from two dimensional orthographic views.
3.
Correctly find the true shape of surfaces of basic three dimensional objects through development.
4.
Correctly identify the lines of intersection between basic three dimensional intersecting objects.
5.
Use two dimensional Computer aided design software to produce high quality two dimensional representations of construction details and plans.
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).
