Engr 1304:  Engineering Graphics and Design
Fall 2010

Objectives

Introduction to computer-aided drafting using CAD software and sketching to generate two- and three-dimensional drawings based on the conventions of engineering graphical communication; topics include spatial relationships, multi-view projections and sectioning, dimensioning, graphical presentation of data, and fundamentals of computer graphics. Semester hours 3 (2 lec, 3 lab)

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

1. Discuss the basic steps in the design process.

2. Demonstrate proficiency in freehand sketching.

3. Demonstrate proficiency in geometric modeling and computer aided drafting and design (CADD).

4. Communicate design solutions through sketching and computer graphics software using standard graphical representation methods.

5. Solve problems using graphical geometry, projection theory, visualization methods, pictorial sketching, and geometric (solid) modeling techniques.

6. Demonstrate proper documentation and data reporting practices.

7. Complete a project involving creation of 3D rapid prototype models.

8. Function as part of a design team as a team leader and as a team member.

Prerequisites

Students must have completed Math 1314 or have consent of division director.
