It involves select the appropriate equipment and drawing software to use based on the type and complexity of the drawing functions to be carried out and the use of a CAD system linked bills of material, file management and associated customization of installed software including the use of macros,
Menus and default settings.

Basic communication, numerical and computational abilities. Openness to learning, ability to plan and organize own work and identify and solve problems in the course of working. Understanding the need to take initiative and manage self and work to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

After completing this programme, participants will be able to:

• Carry out preparations for making 2D mechanical drawings: read and establish requirements of standard dimensions, limits & tolerances, finish requirements etc. Be able to perform modification & making of new and drawings.
• Make new drawings and modify 2D mechanical drawings using CAD system: use and extract information from engineering drawings, labelling data etc, fixing and unfixing components, produce machined components, measure critical parameters of machined components, observe inconsistencies, replace worn out tools and store finished products etc.
• Work safely following health and safety standards: read and understand the safety signs and instructions on the welding machines, use of PPE, identify job – site hazards and apply good housekeeping practices etc

Creation and modification of 2D mechanical engineering design using CAD system. It also involves the detail drafting of component drawings for manufacturing, assembly, sub-assembly, installation, etc.
