What will I study?

Modules

Semester 1 - Three Dimensional Design using AutoCAD – MECH6041

On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

  1. Use the World and User systems and define 3D co- ordinates in the construction of 3D drawings.
  2. Use multiple viewports and views to construct 3D drawings.
  3. Create and edit polygon meshes for surface modelling.
  4. Construct and render 3D models in the solid model state and generate 2D views from same.
  5. Plot multiple views from finished drawings.

Semester 2 - Introductory 3D Parametric Modelling – MECH6040

On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

  1. Use industry specific 3-D parametric modelling software.
  2. Develop 3-D models/assemblies.
  3. Produce 2-D working drawings from 3-D models.
  4. Illustrate the benefits of parametric modelling for design intent.

What is a Module?

A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and is completed within one semester. A full-time student will normally study six modules in each semester; part-time and ACCS (Accumulation of Credits and Certification of Subjects) students will have flexibility as to the number of modules taken.
