DESCRIPTION
|
|
This unit introduces students to technical drawing and the use of two-dimensional computer-aided design tools. Students will progress from hand drawings which meet relevant Australian standards to the use of computer-aided design tools for engineering drawings. Although the emphasis is on mechanical drawings, an introduction to electrical drawings will also be provided.
|
| |
| LEARNING OUTCOMES |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- apply standard methods of graphic communication for engineers;
- apply descriptive geometry for mechanical drawings;
-
produce drawings by hand in accordance with the current Australian standards;
-
use CAD tools effectively to produce two-dimensional CAD drawings;
-
produce basic three-dimensional models using CAD tools.
|

Academic Misconduct
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
- plagiarism;
- unauthorised collaboration;
- cheating in examinations;
- theft of other students’ work.
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
