PROJECT BRIEF
The object of this exercise is to develop your drawing and
presentation skills by selecting a
simple assembly from the list below. Where possible you should
try to obtain an itemyourself, you may purchase/obtain one as a
group to help split the cost.
Car Foot Pump Shock Absorber Assy. Brake Caliper
Piston, Con Rod, CrankAssy
Cycle Bottom Bracket Wankel Engine
Car Hub Assembly Pipe Bender Control Arm
If, for example, you decide to draw a shock absorber, it doesnt
necessarily need to befrom a car. Radio controlled cars use shock
absorbers, so do pushbikes and motorcycles.Brake calipers are used
on many devices, as are pistons and cranks. So please avoidtaking
your car apart, and/or complaining you cant measure the shock
properly on one ofour vehicles as theres a wheel in the way. Do a
bit of research!!!
RULE AND REGULATIONS
- All drawings are to be drawn on A3 paperfolded correctly as
per instructions inthe Technical Drawing Guide on Moodle. Marks
will be lost if they are not.
- Projects to be presented in A4 folder as specified on
Moodle.
- All drawings to use BS8888 technical drawing standard.-
Projects are strictly individual but you may purchase items in
small groups to
alleviate the cost.- No items are to be removed from Alma Labs.
Consult with Development Officer if
you would like to use an automotive component, as they may be
being stored forprojects elsewhere in the University. Do not take
one off a shelf assuming it is notbeing used.

WHAT YOU SHOULD SUBMIT
-Cover Page-Contents-An introduction to the selected product
including photos, sketches and an understandingof its usage and
materials (250 words)
-Detailed hand drawn 2D orthographic drawing of 2 components
(One page = onecomponent).
-Isometric drawing of entire assembly, CAD or hand drawn (all
components in assembly,not just the 2 above).
Bill of Materials (Google this!!)
Overall presentation and structure of report must be of suitable
standard as marks will belost for unsatisfactory and poor
presentation.
TO ACHIEVE HIGHER MARKS.
All documents should be referenced correctly using CU Harvard
style (See Moodle).
2D drawings could include a suitable, necessary detail drawing (
ie, not just one forthe sake of trying to obtain more marks, it has
to be there for a reason)
A necessary section drawing (Google the word necessary).
Show evidence of practicing in an appendix.
Use a BS8888 recommended scales.
Show evidence of having studied BS8888.
Use correct lines and linetypes.
Third angle symbol present on border.
Border correct.
Dimensioned efficiently and thoughtfully (find examples in
library to learn from)
Folded correctly.
You are unlikely to become a high level draftsperson overnight,
this is a task thatmust be practiced and developed so allow
yourself the time and space to developthis skill. Your first
attempt need not be the one you eventually hand in. As anengineer
you will be constantly required to prepare or read draft drawings,
so the
more time you spend on it, the clearer it becomes.In using CAD
you must allow yourself the time to model the product as well, so
itwont necessarily (note Google the word, necessarily) be easier or
quick er to useCAD.
