Computer Aided Drafting Projects

The following is the announcement for Presenting Computer Aided Drafting Projects for Semester 2008/2009,1.
We are happy to announce that the exhibition for all sections will be on 16th October 2008 (Thursday) for Term Projects regarding Computer Aided Drafting Course in Semester 1 of 2008/2009. The exhibition will take place between 08:30 and 12:00 o’clock in Computer Laboratory where we hold normal classes.
Thursday and Friday sections should be ready there to present their project. The presentation will not be through powerpoint presentations. Each team should find a proper corner in the computer lab to display the hardcopies of their work including posters, engineering drawings of individual components etc in their work. Be creative to include anything which you feel as essential.
If some students from the Friday section have other classes or important engagements such as quizzes, we suggest them to make some of the team members ready for presenting their project. In any case they can contact us.
Reward for Winning Team and Best Project
The winning team will earn a reward of RM200. If more than one team have the same points rewarded as winner, they will share RM200. If a project is not presented and submitted after exhibition on 16th 2008 Thursday, it is not eligible for the Reward.
Criteria to Select the Best Project
The selection of best project will be based on the following criteria:-
  1. Professionality: The projects should comprise all professional components. First of all, when someone takes your hardcopies of your work they should be able to produce the product in your project without further consult to your team. The engineering drawings should be complete with proper dimensions, Bill of Materials (BOM) explanations etc. They should properly reflect an engineer’s design documents for someone else to properly produce your product in your project. The maximum reward for this component is 10 points.
  2. Creativity: This is for rewarding the innovative and creative ideas. Making a project for producing an ergonomical bottle which can readily embed some space to carry cups inside is more creative than designing a stapler or pen. The maximum reward for this component is 5 points.
  3. Complexity: This component is here for using the most sophisticated features of what you learned in the course. Creating a special thread is much more difficult than producing a simple cylinder. The maximum reward for this component is 5 points.
  4. Feasibility: The project whould be feasible. You should explain in your report and presentation why your project is doable or feasible. The maximum reward for this component is 5 points.
  5. Presentation: You should present your project in the exhibition in a nice manner. Concentrate on your posters, reports and other creative ideas during exhibition. The maximum reward for this component is 5 points.
