Overview
This unit provides an introduction to graphical and 2 dimensional computer-aided design (CAD). It provides the necessary skills for the demonstration of practical and theoretical knowledge thus enabling you to teach Graphics and 2D CAD in the discipline of Industrial Technology and Design in the middle years of schooling (7-10). You will design, develop, adapt and evaluate projects utilising critical aspects of knowledge about graphics and 2 dimensional drawing. You will develop hands-on drawing skills and the ability to work with 2 dimensional design technologies.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
There are no requisites for this unit.
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2017
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

2 Practical Assessment
Practical Assessment
Assessment Title Residential School (Folio of Work)
Task Description
The residential school introduces students to 2D CAD drafting in Auto CAD 2015 and targets topics and applications for the junior year levels. Students will use 2D commands to draw symbols and templates, refine techniques in pictorial sketching, represent objects by considering lighting for shading and shadows, represents design concepts quickly on paper and represent design layouts to industry standards. The opportunity is provided to develop:
· manual drafting and CAD skills
· knowledge and understanding of graphical representations and procedures understanding of the design processes, planning, sequencing
· implementation and assessment of Graphics & 2D CAD technologies through projects incorporated in the residential school.
During the course students will compile a folio of work which includes the activities completed during Residential School and the work completed prior in weeks 1 to 4. This is to be submitted at the end of the Residential School as a hard copy.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
