| DESCRIPTION | The subject of Technical Graphics is fundamental to any field of design. A designer’s idea can only be communicated effectively if appropriate technical drawings are used. Proper technical working drawings are required if a design is to be realised and manufactured. Such drawings have to follow established standards and conventions if they are to be universally understood by designers and manufacturers coming from different nations. Technical Graphics is considered as the ‘global language’ of the technical world, as it overcomes the national language barriers. This study-unit focuses on the application of technical graphics to represent details of machines and other products. Study-Unit Aims: 1. To generate detail component and assembly drawings of products using manual draughting as well as computer aided design tools; 2. To discuss key features of working drawings based on the BS8888 standard. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Demonstrate knowledge of the BS8888 standard; - Describe ISO metric screw fasteners and other machine details; - Demonstrate knowledge of tolerances, fit and surface finish on working drawings; - Use of computer aided engineering design (CAED) software to model product components and assemblies in two and three dimensions. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Apply BS8888 standards in manual draughting of product component and assembly drawings; - Use dimensioning principles to correctly annotate drawings in accordance to BS8888 standard.
