Coursework Title: CAD assessment

Module Name: Surveying and CAD

Module Code: 4203CIV

Level: 4

Maximum mark available: 100                                                                              

Hand-in Method: Via Canvas

Learning Outcome to be assessed:

Demonstrate proficient use of CAD software to produce 2D engineering drawings using standard construction industry conventions.

Detail of the task:

You are to submit all 5 drawings.

You are to choose a sensible scale.  Note that the scale must be a scale in common usage (for example 1:10, 1:20, 1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200 etc.)

All drawings are to be created and drawn by yourself, using AutoCAD.

You have to make certain choices throughout these drawings (as stated in each question); you should ensure that you are making your own choices here; no two students are expected to make same set of choices throughout. 

What you should hand in?

1-    Electronic copy (CAD files) to be submitted via Canvas/CAD DRAWINGS ASSIGNMENT. Note that the submitted files MUST be in .dwg format

 

Important notes:

1-    Each drawing must be on A3 paper.

2-    Each should include LJMU title block. You are to use your student number in place of your name in the title block.

3-    Dimensions must be added where necessary.

4-    All dimensions must be sensible. For example, very narrow or very wide doors (less than 75 cm or more than 150 cm) are not allowed.

5-    You must assume suitable values for any missing dimension.

All questions carry equal marks
