1 About Graphics 3: 3D Engineering Specifications and Visualisation
1.1 An Introduction to this Unit
This unit introduces formal graphical communication methods used by professionals engaged in the design, manufac-
ture and management of manufactured items. Students will learn how to follow Australian Standards for engineering
drawings, and to use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software for accurately representing and modelling basic parts
and assemblies. The documentation of design concepts in the form of three dimensional (3D) computer models
provides data that can be applied in a wide variety of ways to facilitate the understanding and production of parts
and assemblies. The objective of this unit is to introduce students to the industry standard software and hardware
employed to generate these models, via a ”hands on” approach to creating 3D data. Issues such as data transfer,
rapid prototyping, computer numerical control (CNC) machining and visualisation will also be discussed.

1.2 What is Expected of You

Study Load
A student is expected to study an hour per credit point a week. For example a 10 credit point unit would require 10
hours of study per week. This time includes the time spent within classes during lectures, tutorials or practicals.

Attendance
Lectures and tutorials are designed to scaffold learning and assist students to gain an understanding of the unit
content, and subsequently to complete their assessment tasks. Students should note that attendance is considered
critical for students to gain full value from this subject, and is closely correlated with student success and grades.
Students are encouraged to participate in all class activities, as non-engagement may seriously undermine a student’s
ability to satisfactorily complete the unit.

Online Learning Requirements

Unit materials will be made available on the unit’s vUWS (E-Learning) site (https://vuws.westernsydney.edu.au/).
You are expected to consult vUWS at least twice a week, as all unit announcements will be made via vUWS. Teaching
and learning materials will be regularly updated and posted online by the teaching team.

1.3 Changes to Unit as a Result of Past Student Feedback

The University values student feedback in order to improve the quality of its educational programs. The feedback
provided helps us improve teaching methods and units of study. The survey results inform unit content and design,
learning guides, teaching methods, assessment processes and teaching materials.

You are welcome to provide feedback that is related to the teaching of this unit. At the end of the semester
you will be given the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Unit (SFU) questionnaire to assess the unit.
You may also have the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) questionnaire to provide
feedback for individual teaching staff.

As a result of student feedback, the following changes and improvements to this unit have recently been made:

– Improving feedback and assessment information

2.1 Unit Learning Outcomes
Outcome
1 Model and professionally communicate basic parts and assemblies using CAD software (engineering and
reverse engineering).
2 Generate 2D part and assembly engineering drawings using computer-aided design drafting techniques.
3 Produce engineering drawings in compliance with Australian Standards (AS) 1100 Parts 101 (General
Principals) and 201 (Mechanical Drawing).
4 Create an animated 3D digital simulation that accurately represents dynamic movements, interactions or
processes.
5 Create a 3D digital artefact that can be translated into a manufactured product.

2.2 Approach to Learning

Lecture 1 hr
Tutorial 2hrs

Integration of prior knowledge and evidenced based research techniques for design brief development are core to
this unit. A key expectation of each student is a continuous process of concept development responding to a detailed
project brief. The concept is developed in cooperation with the supervising academic, professionals and individual
students.

The learning activities in this unit are supported by lectures and facilitation groups/tutorials in which peer feed-
back and academic consultations are promoted mirroring (as similar as possible) a professional design environment.

The unit approach to blended learning comprises a synthesis of face-to-face activities, interaction with vUWS content
and online resources, and reflection and contact with external sources of influence including industry, research and
practitioner viewpoints.

2.6 General Submission Requirements
Submission
– All assignments must be submitted by the specified due date and time.
– Complete your assignment and follow the individual assessment item instructions on how to submit. You must
keep a copy of all assignments submitted for marking.
Turnitin
– The Turnitin plagiarism prevention system may be used within this unit. Turnitin is accessed via logging into
vUWS for the unit. If Turnitin is being used with this unit, this means that your assignments have to be
submitted through the Turnitin system. Turnitin from iParadigms is a web-based text-matching software that
identifies and reports on similarities between documents. It is also widely utilised as a tool to improve academic
writing skills. Turnitin compares electronically submitted papers against the following:
– Current and archived web: Turnitin currently contains over 24 billion web pages including archived pages
– Student papers: including Western Sydney University student submissions since 2007
– Scholarly literature: Turnitin has partnered with leading content publishers, including library databases,
text-book publishers, digital reference collections and subscription-based publications (e.g. Gale, Pro-
quest, Emerald and Sage)

– Turnitin is used by over 30 universities in Australia and is increasingly seen as an industry standard. It is
an important tool to assist students with their academic writing by promoting awareness of plagiarism.By
submitting your assignment to Turnitin you will be certifying that:
– I hold a copy of this assignment if the original is lost or damaged
– No part of this assignment has been copied from any other student’s work or from any other source except
where due acknowledgement is made in the assignment
– No part of the assignment has been written for me by any other person/s
– I have complied with the specified word length for this assignment
– I am aware that this work may be reproduced and submitted to plagiarism detection software programs for
the purpose of detecting possible plagiarism (which may retain a copy on its database for future plagiarism
checking).
Self-Plagiarising
– You are to ensure that no part of any submitted assignment for this unit or product has been submitted by
yourself in another (previous or current) assessment from any unit, except where appropriately referenced, and
with prior permission form the Lecturer/Tutor/Unit Co-ordinator of this unit.
Late Submission
– If you submit a late assessment, without receiving approval for an extension of time, (see next item), you will
be penalised by 10% per day for up to 10 days. In other words, marks equal to 10% of the assignment’s weight
will be deducted from the mark awarded.
– For example, if the highest mark possible is 50, 5 marks will be deducted from your awarded mark for each late
day.
– Saturday and Sunday are counted as one calendar day each.
– Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students.
– This is consistent with Clause 51 of the Western Sydney University’s Assessment Policy - Criteria and Standards-
Based Assessment.
Extension of Due Date for Submission
Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances. To apply for an extension of time, locate an application
form via the Western Sydney University homepage or copy the following link:
https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current students/forms

Application forms must be submitted to the Unit Coordinator/Convenor. Requests for extension should be made as
early as possible and submitted within policy deadlines. Appropriate, supporting documentation must be submitted
with the application. An application for an extension does not automatically mean that an extension will be granted.
Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students.

Resubmission Resubmission of assessment items will not normally be granted if requested.

13
Application for Special Consideration
It is strongly recommended that you attend all scheduled learning activities to support your learning. If you have
suffered misadventure, illness, or you have experienced exceptional circumstances that have prevented your attendance
at class or your completion and submission of assessment tasks, you may need to apply for Special Consideration via the
Western Sydney University website. http://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current students/services
and facilities/special consideration2 or the Student Centre/Sydney City Campus Reception. Special Consideration is
not automatically granted. It is your responsibility to ensure that any missed content has been covered. Your lecturer
will give you more information on how this must be done.
