Lecturers

Dr Richard Roebuck (Mich.), Dr Nathan Crilly (Lent)

Timing and Structure

A single lecture will introduce each term's course. Michaelmas: Four 2-hour lab sessions available for help desk support with three exercises to be assessed in these sessions. Lent: Five self-paced workbooks with two scheduled mark up sessions.

Aims

The aims of the course are to:

  • Understand the role of engineering drawing in design, communication and production.
  • Learn how to interpret different types of engineering drawings.
  • Learn how to produce different types of engineering drawings (and select the appropriate type).

Objectives

As specific objectives, by the end of the course students should be able to:

  • Use a professional CAD package to create models of engineering components and assemblies.
  • Demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to read and produce engineering drawings.
