A unit of study in the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) and Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering)/ Bachelor of Commerce
During the course we aim to: Develop the ability to prepare computer models of parts, assemblies and mechanisms using a CAD system.Develop abilities in the use of computer software in solving engineering problems and documenting the result. After successfully completing this unit, you should be able to: Create 3-dimensional computer models of parts.Produce engineering drawings according to Engineering standards.Create mathematical models using standard software e.g. Excel, Mathematical.Implement computer aided solutions on simple engineering problems.Prepare written / graphical reports on simple engineering problems.
This units of study will be delivered in a computer laboratory. Online tutorials or student handbooks will be used to instruct students how to use the software studied. Theoretical content and practical instruction will also be delivered in the computer laboratory. A trained staff with software knowledge will be available in the laboratory to assist students during their learning. Suitable online tutorials will be used to enhance learning.
Assignments (worth 60-80%), Computer Software Tests (worth 20-40%)CAD and Civil3D (worth 50%), Computer Applications (worth 50%)
Students are expected to enhance several of their graduate attributes during this units of study and should consult with your lecturer if not clear as to how this units of study achieves this.In addition to the Swinburne generic attributes, this units of study is also expected to enhance skills recognised by Engineers Australia, specifically: Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals;Ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large;In-depth technical competence in at least one engineering discipline;Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as an effective team member;Expectation of the need to undertake lifelong learning, and capacity to do so.
CAD (50%): AutoCad 35%Civil3D 15% Computer Application (50%): Space gass (25%), Excel (25%)
Computer Application (50%):
Unit has no assigned textbook. All material to be covered will be delivered by online and printed tutorials. However, students are encouraged to explore the Internet for relevant information regarding applications of this part of the units of study. An area such as computer applications in engineering is mandatory in today's industry and students should take every opportunity to further their knowledge through journals, publications, exhibitions and other suitable sources of information.
