The aims of this module are to further enhance students' engineering skills by incorporating advanced technical tools and methods. This includes integrating computer-aided design, manual drawing, and sustainable engineering design principles. The module also emphasizes hands-on problem-solving through group projects, fostering collaboration and practical application. The updated module will place additional focus on innovative design processes, sustainability, and the application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, ensuring that students are equipped for the evolving demands of modern engineering.
A. Interpret orthographic drawings and apply manual and computer-aided design techniques for engineering drawings. B. Design and construct collaboratively structural models for assigned loads, ensuring adherence to safety factors. C. Evaluate structural resistance aginst loads through model analysis and testing. D. Use digital tools and artificial intelligence to enhance model design, data analysis, and design optimization. E. Understand and apply the principles of sustainable development, engineering ethics, design uncertainties in designing and evaluating engineering solutions.
The module utilizes a combination of interactive lectures and tutorials, hands-on practical sessions, and group-based projects to foster active learning.
