| Module Description: |
This module aims to give the student a comprehensive introduction to industry standard methods for communicating engineering design intent. Learners will gain practical knowledge of the use of relevant 2D/3D digital modelling tools while they will also develop hand sketching techniques. The student will be expected to produce both a hardcopy and a digital portfolio, comprising hand sketches, 3D models, drawings and/or other appropriate media.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| # |

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).
|

| Indicative Content |
|
Hand sketching/drawing
Using techniques to develop conversational sketches, sectional, isometric and perspective sketches/drawings for components/systems intrinsic to buildings and/or elements of infrastructure. Sketches may be presented as isolated or combined in philosophy/storyboard form.
|
|
Introductory 2-D Drawings
Generate 2-D drawings with industry standard digital tools using draw and modify tools. Use of model and paper space.
|
|
3-D parametric modelling - basic components
Develop basic solid models involving sketching a profile, setting dimensions and constraints, basic features e.g. extrude, revolve, holes, chamfer, pattern features etc.
|
|
3-D parametric modelling - basic building structure
Develop a model of a basic building using grids, levels, elements and imported component families.
|
|
File Management
Utilise a structured file management system to manage the storage and retrival of files.
|
|
Portfolio
Generate a portfolio of 2D and 3D drawings, dimensioned and printed to scale on an appropriate template.
