Objectives

This subject aims to provide students with the concepts, essential fundamental knowledge and basic techniques for engineering fundamental
matters, including Engineering Drawing, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Drafting, and Basic Scientific Computing. It provides
students with an opportunity to learn and practise using some common engineering-specific software in CAD, simulation software and
computing software.

Subject Intended Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this subject, students will be able to:

➢ explain the principles and conventional representation of engineering drawings according to engineering standards;
➢ create engineering drawing by using drawing instruments and engineering-specific software in CAD for engineering communication and
documentation;
➢ apply CAD application, and modelling and simulation software in simple engineering problems;
➢ apply scientific computing software for basic computing, visualisation and programming in science and engineering.

Attendance and Other Rules/ Regulations

Students are required to have attained at least 70% of attendance in each of the subjects they study; otherwise they may be disallowed to sit
for the subject examination, downgraded or awarded failure grades for unsatisfactory attendance.

Regular and punctual attendance at lectures and tutorials is important. If students are late for more than 15 minutes for a tutorial or 30
minutes for a lecture, they will be regarded as absent for that particular tutorial or lecture. Students who are often absent or late for class
will be given a written warning by their lecturers or tutors. In case of illness, the original doctor’s certificate is required.

Students must only attend the subject classes in which they are registered. They will have their names listed on the finalised class registers
after the add/drop period only if they are officially registered in that particular subject class. Attending classes in which students have not
been officially registered is not allowed.

Plagiarism

You are strongly advised to pay attention to the rules and guidance notes regarding plagiarism, how sources should be referred to, and
bibliography referencing as stipulated in the Student Handbook.

The College may take disciplinary actions against students when there is evidence of collusion between individuals. The work of others
which is included in the assignment must be attributed to its source (a full bibliography and a list of references must be submitted). Failure
to observe such requirements may lead to serious consequences for your study in this subject and your registration at the College. Please
refer to the Section “Penalties for Offences” in the Student Handbook for details.
