Learning outcome

After successfully completing the course, the candidate will have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence.

Knowledge

The candidate can:

• Explain the principles of technical drawing, i.e. drawing rules, objectives, tolerances, threads and screws, surface finishes and geometrical tolerances
• Use simple workshop measuring instruments
• Make scetches, carry out measurements and make complete working drawings and assembly drawings
• Explain the principles of 3D modelling
• Use the relevant version of SolidWorks 3D modelling software
• Use SolidWorks, user environment, assembly, drawing, weldment and sheet metal

Skills

The candidate can:

• Realize mechanical structures from sketch to finished working and assembly drawings
• Use appropriate modern computer software for effective production of 3D models, assemblies and 2D drawings
• Work in a team on planning and implementing mechanical projects

General competence

The candidate:

• Has knowledge of the relevant subject literature and standards for technical drawing

Course Description

Drawing rules, notation of measures, tolerances and fit, screws and threads, surface finishes and geometric tolerance.

Works measurements, principles and equipment.

Students will sketch, measure and draw complete working/compilation drawings of selected machine parts.

Introduction to fundamentals of 3D modelling starting with the basics, user environment, profile build-up, drawing functions, multi-part construction, working drawing generation, drawing border and title block, modification, dimensioning, scaling, details, compilation, exploded drawings, component lists and printing/plotting of drawings

Modelling and construction of welded structures and plate structures and assemblies.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures, supervision and exercises.

Assessment Methods

The written final examination is divided into two parts:

• Basic technical drawing (40%)
• 3D modelling (60%)

Both parts must receive passing grades in order to pass the examination.

The exercises are obligatory and must be approved before the student will be permitted to take the final examination.

Minor adjustments may occur during the academic year, subject to the decision of the Dean
