Course Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use a range of computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program functions to produce drawings. The focus of this unit is on the technical skills required to operate CADD, not on design skills.

It applies to individuals who use computer-aided drawing skills in various contexts.

Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

None

National Competency Codes and Titles

Learning Outcomes

In completing this unit, student will learn the knowledge in operating a CAD software to produce a technical drawing as part of communication aid to present to manufacturer and client.

Overview of Assessment

Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment will incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of knowledge and skills and will include:

 

Assessment 1 consist of an assignment and quiz

Assignment - project & Quiz

The purpose of this assessment is to learn to produce 3D models within required tolerances and technical documentation.

You are to take measurements of the provided compass and model it as an assembly in CAD (Solidworks) – make sure that you do this as accurately and efficiently as possible. You are also to produce tech drawings for the final assembly and all of the individual parts – the drawings are to include isometric views, the assembly drawings are to include an exploded view and a bill of materials.

 

Assessment 2

The purpose of this assessment is to learn to produce 3D models within required tolerances and technical documentation.

You are to select an existing product with a minimum of 4 unique parts, you are to take measurements of the chosen object and model it as an assembly in CAD (Solidworks) – make sure that you do this as accurately and efficiently as possible. You are also to produce tech drawings for the final assembly and all of the individual parts – the drawings are to include isometric views, the assembly drawings are to include an exploded view and a bill of materials.

You are to aim for a tolerance of ±0.2mm
