Module TIM 1002 Module Descriptor To develop an understanding & working knowledge of applied geometry & drawing and its use for creating drawings of furniture & joinery. Module Aim: To equip the student with a range of knowledge and techniques necessary to create 2D & 3D Furniture & Joinery drawings. J.Byrne 2014

Learning Outcomes On completion of this subject students will be able to: Dimension and scale drawings. Complete orthographic projections. Detail presentation drawings in different forms. Manipulate ‘3D’ objects in a ‘2D’ environment. Use geometric principals to draw all forms and shapes of furniture & joinery. Evaluate the learned criteria to produce completed dimensioned, 2D working drawings with exploded views, detailed sections and detailed cutting list right through to 3D views. J.Byrne 2014
