Advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD) ZAE204
Introduction
Using advanced features of digital design toolsets, you will engage in design methods that generate technical CAD models reflective of industry standards. Technical drawings will be developed to effectively convey detailed design information to key stakeholders in the fabrication process. These skills will be used to consider approaches to innovation by developing an equipment design idea that addresses sustainability through re-use, repurposing and/or recycling of manufactured objects. Through a process of appreciative inquiry (building on strengths), you will also reflect on the complete design process to identify your personal approach to design thinking, critical thinking and pre-emptive problem-solving.
To achieve this you will apply a range of design methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice in an effective manner. This will enable you to analyse and identify the root cause of design problems and develop innovative solutions. You will also consider a range of principles and perspectives in your design work such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership while working in real world scenarios. Upon completion of your projects, you will use reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
