Overview of Assessment

Various written assignments/tests and practical exercises/projects


Assessment Tasks

This is a competency based subject. In class progressive exercises, Compentency tests 1&2, you will be assessed on the skills you developed througout the course, in particular your ability to understand computer aided drawing systems for the purpose of drawing in 2D and 3D to represent engineering applications.

Competency test will be conducted in the Lab under supervision.


Assessment Matrix

1. Class exercise -20% Covering 1-14 of underpinning skills and knowledges.

2. Competency Test -1 -30%- Using AUTOCAD software- covering 1 to 10 of Underpinning skills and knowledge.

3. Competency Test -1 -50%- Using Solid Works software- covering 1 to 13 of Underpinning skills and knowledge

Other Information

Tests are conducted under closed book conditions. In order to Achieve the competency the learner must Competent in Competency Test 1 &2.
