The course provides knowledge of and skills with Parametric Solid Modelling, which is the process of defining and manipulating solid models using parameters and automation. Candidates are introduced to Computer- Assisted Engineering (CAE) techniques using industry-standard software, in addition to problem-solving and workflows for developing 3D models. The course provides insight into relevant standards and regulations for the development of mechanical parts and assemblies. Candidates are provided skills with constraints for parts and assemblies. Candidates also learns techniques for reusing models and appropriate drawing generation from 3D models. The course builds on competence from Technical Drawing.
The course provides a deeper understanding of technical drawings and introduces 3D mechanical models. The candidate learns professional terminology and essential techniques for developing 3D models using modern 3D CAD software. The candidate is provided insight to standard requirements and principles for the development of technical models.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of tools and processes that are used to produce and modify sketches, parts and assemblies.
- has knowledge of assemblies, sub-assemblies and parts that are used to create products with multiple elements.
- has knowledge of tools and processes that are used to constrain parts and assemblies.
- has insight into relevant standards and quality requirements for tolerancing, 3D annotations and dimensioning 3D models.
- has a knowledge of the mechanical CAD industry and is familiar with professional workflows.
- can update his/her knowledge of modelling, projection and production methods for developing parametric solid models.
The candidate:
- can apply knowledge of current modelling tools to create and modify parametric 3D elements.
- master’s relevant tools and techniques to create parts and assemblies of products with multiple elements.
- master's relevant tools and techniques to present technical drawings based on 3D models in accordance with professional practices.
- master's relevant tools and techniques to create visualisation of mechanical CAD models.
- can find information and material that is relevant to creating functional designs.
- can study parts and assemblies and identify issues with geometry and constraints, and what measures need to be implemented for accurate models and drawings.
The candidate:
- understands the principles of 3D modelling, assemblies and the organisation of project files that apply in mechanical design.
- understands the principles of optimised geometry, views and sections for presenting professional technical drawings for mechanical models.
- can build relations with his/her peers in relation to parametric solid models and mechanical design.
- can develop mechanical 3D models according to specifications.
In this course, the following teaching and learning methods can be applied, but are not limited to:
- Lecture: Educator-led presentations or activities providing knowledge, skills, or general competencies in the subject area.
- Group work: Collaborative activities where students work together to solve problems or complete tasks.
- Tutoring: One-on-one or small group sessions with an instructor for personalized guidance and support.
- Student presentations: Opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of course material by presenting to peers.
- Online lessons: Digital content delivered via an online learning platform.
- Guidance: Individualized advice and direction from instructors to support students in their learning journey.
- Workshops: Practical sessions focused on hands-on application of theoretical concepts or skills.
- Self-study: Independent study where students engage with course material on their own without any teacher support.
Teaching materials, reading lists, and essential resources will be shared in the learning platform and software user manuals where applicable.
