Computer Aided Design

This module looks at graphics and modelling fundamentals for engineering design, analysis and fabrication.

Students are introduced to an engineering design process and are required to develop and document an engineering design for fabrication.

Knowledge and skills critical to translating conceptual ideas into technical designs ready for fabrication are covered.

Student Learning Outcomes:

» apply general ideas behind a design process to drive a design activity;

» visualize and sketch conceptual designs;

» model a complete engineering artefact within a Computer-Aided environment in 2D and 3D;

» generate engineering drawings for conventional

» generate 3D models for 3D printing.
