Projection theory, visualisation techniques, orthographic drawing, introduction to a modern CAD package.
This course introduces drawing standards and develops freehand sketching and visualization skills. It provides a basic understanding of engineering components, their graphical representation and correct detail form design. This course makes students aware of the design decision making process and methods for systematic design concept selection.Students partake in the WARMAN Design Competition, in teams that span both ENME201 and ENME221.
