Prerequisites by Topic:

Fundamental knowledge on computer hardware configuration, file and directory structure, and Windows 95/98 operating system.

Method for Assessing Student Knowledge of Prerequisite Topics:

None.

Goals:

This course aims at establishing the fundamental background on engineering drawing, which is the principal method of communication in engineering, with applications through a professional software package.

Objectives:

· To give students an ability to read and write the language of engineering graphics.

· To study the basic theory and accepted conventions of engineering drawing.

· To help students understand the role of engineering drawing within the overall context of engineering design and manufacturing.

· To give the students an ability of using a commercial CAD package.

Topics :

1. Introduction to engineering drawing: CAD systems and CAD software ( 1/2 weeks)

2. Geometrical constructions (1 week)

3. Orthographic projections. First and third angle projections of principle views from 3D models (2 weeks)

4. Orthographic projections: Projections of the third principal view from two given principal views (2 weeks)

5. Auxilary and detail viewing techniques (1/2 weeks)

6. Sectional views : Full, half, partial (1 week)

7. Dimensioning and annotation techniques: basic dimensioning, revision blocks, surface texture, weld symbols (2 weeks)

8. Tolerancing : geometric tolerances, basic hole , basic shaft systems, datum symbols (2 weeks)

9. Principles of assembly drawing (1 week)

10. General blue print reading techniques (1 week)

11. Drawings for engineering design and manufacturing (1 week)

Computer Usage:

Students will use a CAD package as a part of the course requirements. In addition to class work, students are expected to utilize the computer graphics laboratory to draw their homework assignments.
