Computer software has revolutionised the ways in which we create and modify engineering drawings and designs. This module gives you the chance to investigate the use of computer aided drawing tools for a variety of engineering applications, from creating 3D engineering designs to producing 2D drawings. 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 or equivalent
This module is designed to provide you with current and useful employment skills, through teaching you how to use of 2D and 3D computer aided drawings 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 and OpenSCAD.
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: http://intranet.exeter.ac.uk/emps/studentinfo/subjects/engineering/accreditation/
The AHEP document can be viewed in full on the Engineering Council’s website, at http://www.engc.org.uk/

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.
