Description

This unit introduces students to computer based design packages used in both 2D and 3D design. Students develop skills in using the main computer aided design programs and applications. A focus of the unit is the use of computer designs as production tools. This includes exploration of the use of computers in 3D and 2D printing and laser cutting/laser engraving. Case studies of the application of computers in the design industry will illustrate the appropriate use of these technologies.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass unit TDD1101 before being allowed to enrol in the this unit.

Equivalent Rule

Previously coded TDD2203

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Use computer based design to create plans, sections and elevations relevant to major design disciplines.
  2. Describe methods, such as file formats, used to reproduce and transmit CAD information.
  3. Describe the application of CAD to the fabrication of physical objects.
  4. Design and produce a basic 3D model of an object using CAD.
  5. Use a CAD software package proficiently, and print completed and accurate CAD drawings.

Unit Content

  1. Basic 2D drafting and 3D modelling.
  2. Basic concepts of 2D and 3D geometry.
  3. Referencing and organising CAD data.
  4. Problem solving with materials related to CAD.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS

Additional Learning Experience Information

Class activities focus on introducing students to various printing technology. Students will be taught CAD applications and operating 2D and 3D printing machines to produce design objects. Lectures will introduce students to the contextual and cultural relevance of printing.

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
