Aims and Fit of Module

Engineering drawing is an application-oriented subject that introduces the preparation, representation and reading of engineering drawings. It is an important document in industry for design, manufacture, utilization and service, often recognized as the graphical language of engineers; therefore, all engineers should know how to read, speak and write it. This module is introduced to provide the fundamentals of Engineering Drawing and the design process, including graphical theory, standards and conventions of drawing, computer aided tools for drawing and the use of drawings in electrical engineering applications.

Learning outcomes

A. Apply established engineering drawing standards to create and interpret technical drawings.
B. Utilise computer-aided design (CAD) tools to model essential engineering components and assemblies.
C. Construct isometric drawings to represent engineering components and assemblies.
D. Apply spatial-visualisation skills to convert between 2D technical drawings and 3D objects.

Method of teaching and learning

This module will be delivered through a combination of formal lectures, tutorials and lab sessions. The engineering standards for the drawing and basic skills to create both 3D and 2D drawings are delivered in lectures. The lab sessions provided the opportunity to the students to apply the standards and skills in practical applications. The tutorials are used to answer some general questions by the students.
