Unit Snapshot

  • Enrolment information

    This unit requires a software that only is compatible with Windows (W10 and newer) products.

Unit description

Introduces students to computer-aided design (CAD) and other technologies for engineering design applications. Students will become familiar with basic 2D and 3D CAD processes and use CAD to produce detailed drawings, sections and models for use in engineering design. Students will also explore new and emerging engineering design technologies, including 3D printing.

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

describe current and emerging tools and methods to manage the engineering design process

employ industry-standard computer-aided design (CAD) software to produce a basic drawing to communicate an engineering design using established design requirements

use CAD to produce detailed plans, sections and models and perform design calculations relevant to your engineering specialisation

create a simple model using 3D CAD and 3D printing

apply standard conventions, such as orthogonal views, dimensions, tolerances, limits, and fits, when creating detailed engineering drawings while ensuring compliance with AS1100 standards

create complex engineering drawings using advanced features, such as geometric tolerancing, surface texture, and welding annotations.
