The course provides knowledge of principles, tools and techniques for 2D Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD) using industry-standard software and production methods for technical drawings. The course provides introduction to problem-solving, methodologies and workflows for developing accurate drawings and ensuring quality in his/her own work. Candidates are provided knowledge of construction elements, production workflows and printing of technical drawings in accordance with current standards and regulations. The course focuses on the use of digital tools for collaboration on projects, as well as promoting the importance of revision history and the production of clearly communicated designs. Candidates gain vital insight into procedures for handing over completed documents to customers or contractors.
The course forms the basis for understanding technical content and documentation. The candidate learns professional terminology and processes that are essential for the development of technical drawings regardless of software. The candidate gains insight in the production of modern constructions, in architectural and mechanical industries.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of processes and tools that are used for different drawing types and publishing.
- has knowledge of planning, sharing and backing up project files and processes that are used to manage projects.
- has knowledge of processes and drawing tools that are used to draft and edit technical drawings.
- has insight into relevant regulations and current standards for technical drawings, annotations and dimensions.
- can update his/her knowledge about tools, navigation, organization and transferring elements in technical drawings.
- understands the importance of his/her accuracy, clarity and unambiguity in technical drawings.
The candidate:
- can apply knowledge of dimensioning and annotation to accurately communicate the design intent in technical drawings.
- can apply knowledge of technical drawings to publish and distribute according to standards and quality requirements.
- master's relevant tools and techniques to create and edit drawings according to scope.
- master's relevant tools and techniques for projecting objects according to standards.
- can find information about current regulations for dimensioning and annotations in different projects and drawing types.
- can study technical drawings and identify issues and the need for accurate and appropriate views and sections.
The candidate:
- can carry out drawing and drafting of simple and complex models.
- can carry out printing of technical content ready for production.
- can build relations with his/her peers within the field of technical drawings.
- can develop technical documentation of relevance to communicate the design intent.
