SYNOPSIS

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN 2 exposes the students to learn the fundamental

principles of 3D parametric part design and production-ready part drawings using
3D CAD software. Students will know the various method of creating a solid model
using extrude, revolve, swept, assembly, simulation and animation. Hands-on
exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design of mechanical
engineering will also be covered in this course.
Upon completion of the programme, graduates should be able to:

COURSE LEARNING
OUTCOMES (CLO)

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals

to well defined mechanical engineering procedures and practices
(PLO1).
2. Analyse well-defined mechanical engineering problems with respect to
operation and maintenance, including troubleshooting (PLO2).
3. Communicate effectively with the engineering community and society at
large (PLO6).
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Apply the function of CAD commands in producing engineering drawing. (C3,
PLO1)
2. Create drawing of mechanical component in 3D according to drawing
standard. (P3, PLO2)
3. Demonstrate good written communication skill in group project report. (A3,
PLO6)
