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.
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
