Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• use Word and Excel to a satisfactory level,
• visualise simpler objects with sketches by hand,
• create complete detail- and assembly drawings according to swedish standard,
• plan dimensioning for function requirements and manufacturing requirements of a product,
• set tolerances on drawings according to swedish standard,
• use a methodology that results in stable and easy-to-edit models to create 3D-solids and assemblies,
• use a PDM/PLM system for product design,

Instruction

Lectures, lessons, computer exercises, assignments and project work.

Assessment

Assignments (1 credit). Written theory test in drafting (3 credits), practical test in CAD (4 credits) and graded project work ( 2 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding targeted pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
