Engineering Graphics and Solid Modelling II

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. use projections to prepare a detailed working drawing of objects and designs; 2. gain skills in parametric design to aid their ability to see the design in the optimal specification of materials and systems to meet needs; 3. analyse and optimise designs based on strength and material minimisation; 4. Identify the need for the theoretical perspectives that create the basis for the analyses that are possible in design and optimisation, and recognise/ the practical link to excite their creativity and ability to innovate; and 5. translate their thoughts and excitements to produce shop drawings for multi-physical, multidisciplinary design.
