Learning Outcomes

Students will learn to read mechanical drawings and be familiar with the standard symbols used in mechanical drawings. They will also be competent in independently making 3D models, quality product and assembly models, as well as assembly and component drawings. The course provides students with the readiness to create drawings of diagrams, for example for hydraulics and pneumatics, and layouts. In addition, students will learn about the modelling of designer products and CAD in a business environment.
