Learning Outcomes

Detail simple beams and columns

Draw sectional views to AS 1100 of simple mechanical engineering components
Extract appropriate data from basic design information to draw, label and dimension structural steel connections

Interpret drawings produced using first angle and third angle orthogonal projection methods.

Produce drawings of simple mechanical engineering components to AS 1100

Produce three dimensional views of simple mechanical engineering components

Overview of Assessment

This unit is most appropriately assessed in the computer laboratory using holistic assessment, based on a variety of simulated work tasks to set time frames.

Assessment of this unit will involve completion of:
• A series of small assignments from within a project assessed in class and covering the basic elements of preparing structural steel design drawings to industry standards.
• A 3 hour end of semester examination.
