Cambridge Advanced National (AAQ) in Engineering Digital Student Book Optional Unit F133 (2 Years)

This digital student book offers comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge Advanced National in Engineering Unit F133: Computer Aided Design (CAD). Mapped to the OCR specification, this book has been designed to help students and teachers build the confidence, knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the new qualification. Ideal as both a learning and reference tool, it is structured to follow the order of the specification and unpack its content in an easy-to-follow, digestible way. It will help students learn key concepts and information, while providing teachers with guidance on the breadth and depth of content they're required to teach. Written by Andrew Hewitt, an experienced teacher and practitioner, this book will help students to learn how to recreate physical objects as 3D models, using CAD to create designs. It will explore how: Computer Aided Design (CAD) has become increasingly prevalent in the design and manufacture of products we interact with every day; CAD plays a vital technological role in many different industries, no longer limited to engineering disciplines such as automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics; and to create simulations from the designs and make changes to 3D models based on their outcomes. This book is written to be engaging and motivating. “Learning in Context” examples help students relate the concepts they are learning to the real world, and worked examples guide their development of essential skills, step-by-step. Furthermore, frequent quick-check questions help them to assess their progress and understanding of each topic. The flexible digital format means content can be accessed anywhere, at anytime. We are working towards endorsement by OCR.
