Laboratory exercise-4: 7.5%

Laboratory exercise-5: 7.5%

Assessment task 2: 30%

Assessment task 2 will be a set of practical exercises based on AUTOCAD. All these exercises need to be completed by week 16. The practical exercises are accumulative ones and will be graded on submission of all laboratory reports. These practical exercises will be available on learning hub and student’s local drive.

Laboratory exercise- 6:  7%

Laboratory exercise- 7:  7%

Laboratory exercise- 8:  8% 

Laboratory exercise- 9:  8%

Assessment task 3 : 40%
A practical test will be held on week 17 based on all the learning aspects (AUTOCAD and MATLAB) of these competencies.


Note: There will be penalty for late submissions.
