Principles of visually communicating engineering designs. Topics include technical sketching, technical drawing, engineering graphics and design; 3-D visualization with orthographic projection; dimensioning and tolerancing practices; computer aided drafting/design (CAD) software; graphical analytical methods of solutions to three-dimensional problems. Assignments develop sketching and 2-D and 3-D CAD skills. The use of CAD software is an integral part of this course.
This course covers the principles involved in visually communicating engineering designs. Topics include technical sketching, engineering graphics and design; development of visualization skills by using computer aided drafting (CAD) software in conjunction with orthographic projection problems; emphasis on computer aided design; mechanical dimensioning and tolerancing practices and graphical analytical methods of solutions to three-dimensional problems. Assignments develop sketching and 2-D and 3-D CAD skills. The use of CAD software is an integral part of this course.
