Module Description: |
The aims of Engineering Drawing II are: (1) to introduce students to information and communication technology. (2) to develop a knowledge of both manual and computer generated engineering drawing. (3) to produce both manual and CAD engineering drawings. The aims of Surveying & Setting out I are: (1) to develop a knowledge of basic surveying techniques; (2) to train the student in field levelling procedures; (3) to introduce the student to surveying software packages.
Students must participate in class work, practical work & project work and must achieve a minimum of 50% in these elements of continuous assessment in order to have satisfied the module learning outcomes listed above.
