The diploma engineers are supposed to get involved in modeling, designing, manufacturing, inspection and planning activities (such as preparing design and production drawing, process plans, preparing bill of materials, etc.) in industries. For production of components and assemblies accurately and precisely it is of utmost importance to prepare, read and interpret different drawings correctly. It is also important for diploma engineers to understand the industrial practices of modeling and designing and for this they should be aware of modeling and designing practices, symbols, codes, norms and standards generally used in industries. This course has been therefore designed to develop the skills in the students so that they may generate models and digital production drawings using CAD software. It is therefore a key course for mechatronics engineers.
The experiments should be carried out in such a manner that students are able to acquire required learning outcomes in cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain to demonstrate following course outcomes:
i. Select hardware and software for CAD workstation.
ii. Draw and modify 2D production drawings of mechanical components.
iii. Develop 3D models of machine parts and assemblies.
iv. Develop 2d Drawings from 3d models.
