Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Common to all courses of engineering, Materials, Design and Production, Computer Control, Electrical and Electronic Contorol

Required, Elective, etc. : Must complete subjects

Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering/Mechanical engineering/Design engineering, Machine functional element, tribology

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goals of learning / education in this class is (A) also (D)is involved.

Course outline : Students will learn the basic operation of CAD, which is widely used as a tool for mechanical and electrical/electronic drawing. "SolidWorks" is used as the CAD software for mechanical drawing.


Style:
Course method :
The class is taught in a seminar room at the Central Information Center, using a board and slides, mainly exercises to understand the CAD system, and basic operations to make simple drawings.


Grade evaluation method :
Evaluation of the level of completion of the drawings (60%) and attitude towards the work (40%); however, if one of the drawings is not completed, no grade will be given.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours missed) in order to complete the 2nd year course.

Course advice :
Perform CAD operations as a basis for mechanical and electrical/electronic drawing. It is necessary to be familiar with basic PC operations on a regular basis.

Foundational subjects : Integrated science and technology basis (1st year)

Related subjects : Electrical and electronic circuits(2nd year)

Attendance advice :
Students must not be late or miss a class. It is important to have a good attitude in order to learn basic operations. Students are expected to submit drawings on time.
