Unit Code: EED403

Unit Name: Electrical and Electronics Drawing

Description: The purpose of this course is to develop basic skills in the preparation and interpretation of Engineering Drawings, required by all Electrical and Electronic Engineering paraprofessionals, irrespective of their area of specialization. Students are taught on the significance of Electrical and Electronic drawing in engineering, serving as a universal language for designing and maintaining systems. The course covers drawings communicating complex ideas clearly, aiding in design, manufacturing, and troubleshooting. It also emphasizes the key elements of electrical drawings which include standardized symbols, circuit diagrams, wiring layouts, and PCB designs, which ensure accurate and safe implementation of electrical systems. Students learn about the importance of adhering to Electrical and Electronic standards which will ensure consistency and safety. It also aims at developing the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) softwares like AutoCAD, Proteus, Circuit Maker 2000, etc, in creating precise and editable drawings easier, making these skills fundamental for careers in electrical and electronics engineering. Mastery of these drawings is crucial for clear communication and effective system design.
