| Module Description: |
In this module the student will be introduced to construction drawing as a means of communication in both mechanical and AutoCAD disciplines, from the selection of drawing equipment to producing freehand, scale and geometric drawing to conventional standards |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Use fundamental drawing principles to produce simple and complex arches |
| LO2 |
Produce detailed freehand sketches of domestic construction details and elements |
| LO3 |
Interpret drawings of single and two storey domestic buildings |
| LO4 |
Produce detailed mechanical drawings to include a location floor plan and building sections for a domestic construction |
| LO5 |
Draw basic building details in 2D using AutoCAD |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
