Shit mod.
2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab. How the fuck is this 3 AU??? The lecture and lab is already 5 AU not counting workload.
Things you they expect you to do before lab.
Do homework
Do take home assignment
Do CAD (ownself learn. Never teach jackshit.)
If you do all of these, you will at least take 12 hours.Things they expect you to do in lab:
CAD modelling (guided & unguided) (>40m can only get G)
homework (>40m can only get G)the CAD modeling part in lab is so insanely difficult. You can tell they are adding a lot of shit and complexity just to make you not complete before 40m or they come up with a lot of bullshit tactics just so you dont complete before 40m. Its rigged as fuck. Like theres 1 instance where they are testing your CAD assembling skills. But for some reason, dont give you isometric view of the model. The engineering drawing is complicated and messy af. If you have the assembling skills but assembled wrongly, penalised heavily. Stupid right? test assembling skills but twist here and there like rigging it in a way that doesnt even test your assembling skills just to force you not to get good grades or complete within 40m. Such a shit mod.
There’s a reason why every batch that took MA2005 keeps complaining. They claim that they take the feedbacks of students seriously and they adjusted the curriculum. But it is still so shit and horrible. They also keep contradicting themselves. Like they want students to visualise because the industry partners told them they want the students to learn these skills. MA2005 profs then force us to do drawings with very little context and minimum views. Such practice is so unrealistic in real life. Nobody gives such little context in drawings. If they did, they would’ve been fired.

A difficult course. Needed to practice a lot for the drawings. The manual CAs required around 3 hours of practice before hand.
Luckily, practicing 3 past year papers thoroughly helped me get an A in this course. The GD&T section can be understood with the help of youtube video from a senior.
Attending professor Lim’s lectures really helped.August 7, 2022 -
This is a terrible mod. Who still use manual drawing nowadays? Why the prof likes to shoot people down whenever we ask him questions? Lim Choon Seng, it’s time to retire.
