| Module Description: |
This module builds an understanding of the role of industry conventions and international standards for engineering drawings and diagrams and thereby fosters a commitment to high working standards and quality documentation in engineering.
The module develops the student’s capabilities in engineering drawing and thereby facilitates technical communication through engineering drawings and diagrams, especially in the context of electrical and electronic systems.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Load the AutoCAD programme and configure it to suit the needs of the individual user. |
| LO2 |
Apply standards applicable to engineering drawings with a variety of electrical and electronic graphical symbols. |
| LO3 |
Develop engineering hand-sketch drawing techniques and producing them into formal AutoCAD drawings. |
| LO4 |
Produce circuit and wiring diagrams pertinent to electrical and electronic systems in accordance with international standards. |
| LO5 |
Develop topographical electrical services drawings for a typical commercial premises. |
| 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 |
