EDSE12026 - Graphics and 2D Computer Aided Design Technologies

Showing: 2026 HE Term 1
General Information

Unit Synopsis

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.

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

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Written Assessment 15%
2. Practical Assessment 20%
3. Practical Assessment 15%
4. Practical Assessment 15%
5. Written Assessment 35%

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%).
