Objectives

The aim of the course is to obtain knowledge and skills in 3D-modelling, in connection with manufacturing and technical drawings. Preparation for manufacturing in the form of 3D models and 2D-drawings, presented digitally and on paper. Producing physical models with the aid of 3d models and Rapid Prototyping machines.

Learning outcomes

Students are expected to show ability in:

- the use a modern Cad software to individually create solid models, assemblies and technical drawings
- the understanding and description of the foundations in technical drawings
- applying rules and standards to individually produce technical drawings, in the area of machine design
- the use of Rapid Prototyping for producing physical models

Course content

Cad software for creating solid models, assemblies and technical drawings.

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.

Grade
