About the Course

The course provides knowledge and practical skills in creating schematic layouts. The candidate will learn how to recognise and interpret hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical symbols used in technical drawings. The course also introduces General Arrangement (GA) drawings, including footprint and interface design, specifications, and technical notes. After completing the course, the candidate will understand the function and structure of schematic layouts and their role in technical documentation. 

Course Learning Outcomes
Knowledge

The candidate:
•    has knowledge of processes and tools that are used to create schematic layouts.
•    has knowledge of standardised symbols used in hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical schematics.
•    has knowledge of footprint, interfaces and specifications related to General Arrangement (GA) drawings.
•    can assess their own drawings and documentation in relation to applicable specifications.
•    has insight into how schematic layouts function and their importance in engineering documentation.

Skills

The candidate:
•    can apply knowledge of system layouts to produce, interpret, and revise technical documentation.
•    can reflect on their own execution of schematic layouts and make adjustments for efficient workflows under supervision.
•    can find and refer to relevant standards and specifications for General Arrangement (GA) drawings.
•    can find and refer to relevant standards and best practices for drafting schematic layouts.

General Competence

The candidate:
•    can carry out schematic layouts based on given specifications and under supervision.
•    can exchange points of view with peers on General Arrangement (GA) drawings and participate in discussions on how to communicate accurate and precise technical information.
•    can exchange theories and solutions with peers and contribute to discussions on schematic layout designs.

Learning Activities

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.
