Building and Mechanical Engineering Drawing Building and Mechanical Engineering Drawing (BMED) provides a significant contribution to the development of the human resources required for the creation of advanced designing and creative solutions to the twenty-first century demands of industrial production and manufacturing in the Caribbean.

The course of study for BMED incorporates aspects of architectural drawings of buildings as well as mechanical drawings for the development and communication of design ideas and concepts. As a form of graphical communication, the course provides the student with the opportunity of visualising and comprehending information presented verbally, graphically and mathematically. A student who completes this syllabus would be experienced in the use of the latest developments

of Computer Aided Drawing (CAD). In addition, the student would become dexterous in the

application of the British Standard (BS8888), ISO Standards, Caribbean Uniform Building Codes (CUBiC) and other local codes to building and engineering drawings. By pursuing this course, students will develop twenty-first century skills such as creativity, decision-making, problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration. This syllabus is designed to provide in depth knowledge, skills and competencies that are required for further studies and for the world of work.

The Building and Mechanical Engineering Drawing Syllabus consists of two Units of 150 hours, each comprising three Modules of 50 hours each. Each Module is compulsory. Unit 1: Building and Mechanical Engineering Drawing Module 1 - Geometry 1

Module 2 - Geometry 2

Options

Module 3A - Engineering Drawing OR

Module 3B - Building Drawing

Unit 2: Building and Engineering Design Option A: Mechanical Engineering Drawing and Design Module 1 - Mechanics of Machines

Module 2 - Engineering Materials and Processes Module 3 - Management and Design

Option B: Building Drawing and Design Module 1 - Structural Drawings

Module 2 - Building Materials and Processes Module 3 - Building Design Elements
