ENG1021: Spatial Communication In Engineering
Faculty of Engineering
Check the Handbook for the latest unit information.
Overview
This unit introduces the fundamentals of spatial communication in engineering. This project-oriented unit includes an introduction to engineering drawing, spatial measurement, and spatial visualisation. You will work with various spatial visualisation tools. Starting from hand sketching, you will learn how to produce engineering drawings, collect spatial data, and develop spatial visualisations.
