| Module Description: |
This module introduces the student to 3-D Parametric modelling. The core concept of the module is to develop techniques to create parts, assemblies and drawings utilising 3-D modelling package. These tasks will be carried out using best practice modelling strategies and international drawing standards. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Use industry specific 3-D parametric modelling software |
| LO2 |
Develop 3-D models/assemblies |
| LO3 |
Produce 2-D working drawings from 3-D models |
| LO4 |
Illustrate the benefits of parametric modelling for design intent |
| 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 CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
