Details of Learning Activities
You will be asigned to draw mechanical components using Advanced 2D techniques and 3D wire frame, surface modelling and solid modelling. Class works and competency test will be used for assessement. AUTOCAD software package will be used for the Advanced 2D CAD techniques and SOLIDWORKS packages will be used for 3D modelling.
Class exercises and lecture materials will be provided. Students will be assigned daily class exercises and expected to complete the tasks during class time.
