Description

Engineering drawing is a language of graphical communication and design synthesis. Students will be able to both interpret and construct formal engineering drawings in accordance with the Australian Standards. Students will become familiar with how an engineering drawing is developed through checking, reading and control of engineering drawings. Students are assessed on their understanding of engineering drawings by the development and practice of sketching, isometric, orthographic, perspective, sectioning and assembly drawings. Problems in three-dimensional geometry are also taught to students. Finally, an introduction to Computer Aided Drawing (CAD), including computer based data analysis and presentation, is provided to the students.
