<p>This course introduces students to the principles of engineering design and drafting. It utilises commonly used engineering software such as the AutoDESK software AutoCAD introducing the fundamentals of communicating a design through a technical drawing as well as how to implement this within the computer software. Through practise and example, students will develop their skills to a level capable of modelling complicated objects or structures in two (2D) and three dimensions (3D) as well as developing the skills to determine key information from their models. By the end of the course, students should be able to communicate intricate ideas with succinct diagrams to a deadline.</p>
