This course is in two main parts. First, students learn about the creation, interpretation and use of Engineering Drawing, including first and third angle orthographic projection and pictorial projection. A series of lectures and design class exercises support this part of the course. The second part is an introduction to Manufacturing Processes, including forging, casting, welding, brazing, soldering, fasteners, sheet metal working, machining and polymer processing. Several initial lectures, presentation skills class and videos support the early stages of this course.
The objectives of this first year course are to introduce:
By the end of the course, students should:
LO1 - Be proficient in the creation of engineering drawings. LO2 - Be proficient in the interpretation of engineering drawings. LO3 - Understand the capabilities and limitations of the main production processing groups. LO4 - Disseminate technical material proficiently in both written and oral form.
Students receive a one-hour lecture for 8 weeks on Engineering Drawing to support the three-hour practical design classes for 6 weeks for Engineering Drawing exercises. Also each week, one-hour lecture/videos/presentations are conducted for Manufacturing Processes. Partly completed notes for the lectures are provided to save students having to copy all technical material during the lectures.
