The course provides knowledge and practical skills in Product Data Management (PDM) – the process of organiszing, handling, and securing CAD data across multiple users and collaborative environments. Candidates are introduced to essential tools and processes used in engineering project management, documentation, and quality assurance.
The course covers industry standards related to data and documentation management within the mechanical engineering industry and introduces concepts such as 3D scanning and digital twins. A significant focus is placed on revision handling, CAD data exchange, and project documentation in multidisciplinary teams.
The candidate:
• has knowledge of procedures that are used in project management and revision handling for controlling and executing projects.
• has knowledge of timelines and management tools for project execution and quality assurance when working with shared digital resources.
• can assess their own project documentation in relation to applicable internal standards, templates and requirements.
• has knowledge of documentation practices used in disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• has knowledge of processes related to 3D scanning technologies and digital twins.
The candidate:
• can apply knowledge of engineering project revisions to solve practical challenges in CAD data management.
• can explain their choice of tools and methods for planning and documenting engineering projects under supervision.
• can find and refer to information about internal standards, regulations, and assess their relevance to product data and documentation.
• can reflect on their own workflow process in a collaborative project.
• can find and refer to regulations and standards for technical documentation in a project.
The candidate:
• can exchange points of view and develop an understanding of the meaning and purpose of Product Data Management (PDM) with peers in a collaborative engineering project.
• can plan and carry out engineering project revisions and projects alone and as part of a group in accordance with internal standards and specifications.
• can contribute to quality assurance for project management documentation.
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.
