Learning Outcomes

OB1: Apply technical drawing principles, standards, and conventions used in Civil Engineering.

OB2: Produce and interpret technical drawings, including plans, sections, details, and other construction documents.

OB3: Represent and analyse two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects using appropriate graphical methods.

OB4: Solve spatial geometry and projection problems through technical drawing techniques.

OB5: Use computer-aided design tools, such as AutoCAD and BIM Revit, to create and manage technical drawings.

OB6: Develop technical drawings that effectively communicate engineering information and design concepts.

OB7: Apply drawing and representation techniques to practical problems in Civil Engineering.
