Mechanical Drawing and CAD (5cr)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Objective

Students will learn to create 3D part models, sheet metal models, sub-assembly and assembly models. They will also learn to create assembly and component drawings by using CAD software. They will also learn basic knowledge of the theory of technical drawing and understand the symbols used in mechanical drawing. Consideration of sustainable development and recyclability in design

Content
