Engineering Graphics and Solid Modelling I

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. have a good grasp of design thinking and be obsessed with the determination to apply such to solving simple everyday and also complex problems; 2. recognise the fundamental concepts of engineering drawing and graphics; 3. show skills to represent the world of engineering objects in actionable solid models, and put such models in a form where they can be inputs for simulation and analyses; 4. analyse such models for strength and cost; 5. prepare the objects for modern production and manufacturing techniques of additive and subtractive manufacturing; 6. recognise that engineering is multidisciplinary in the sense that mechanical, electrical and other parts of physical structures are modelled in context as opposed to the analytical nature of the courses they take; and 7. analyse and master the basics of mechanical and thermal loads in engineering systems.

Introduction to design thinking and engineering graphics. First and third angle orthogonal projections. Isometric projections; sectioning, conventional practices, conic sections and development. Freehand and guided sketching – pictorial and orthographic. Visualisation and solid modelling in design, prototyping and product-making. User interfaces in concrete terms. Design, drawing, animation, rendering and simulation workspaces. Sketching of 3D objects. Viewports and sectioning to shop drawings in orthographic projections and perspectives. Automated viewports. Sheet metal and surface modelling. Material selection and rendering. This course will use latest professional design tools such as fusion 360, solid works, solid edge or equivalent. BME 102: Introduction to Biomedical (2 Units C: LH 30) Enginering Learning Outcomes Students should, at the conclusion of the course: 1. know how fundamental physics, biological and chemical principles are applied to human body functions; 2. explain the impacts of technology on knowledge of biology, medicine and areas of general chemistry such as electronic configuration, atoms, chemical bonds, metals and non- metals, acids and bases, carbon and covalent bond and, water and its properties 3. know about cells, tissues, organs, and organisms; amino acids, proteins; carbohydrates; fatty acids and lipids; nucleic acids and nucleotides; genes and genetic information transcription and translation; 4. assess forces experienced by bones, joints, and muscles during exercise osteo-kinematics and arthro-kinematics; and 5. apply fundamental principles in physics, biology, and chemistry to human body functions.
