Course Objectives |
|
There are two objectives of this course: |
|
1. To understand how engineering designs
are communicated visually in industry. To be able to create,
read and interpret engineering drawings.
2. To use advanced solids-modeling computer-aided design (CAD)
software and express design ideas.

"Interpreting Engineering Drawings," 6th Ed.,
Cecil H. Jensen, Delmar Thompson Learning, United States, 2002, ISBN
0-7668-2897-2. Book Description:
Designed to provide a complete and customized learning experience
for each reader, this edition of our popular Interpreting
Engineering Drawings book now features expanded units on "Drawings
for Numerical Control" and "Manufacturing Materials." The first
section acquaints readers with topics that are universally
applicable to the interpretation of all mechanical/industrial
drawings, such as: drawing standards, abbreviations, basic rules for
dimensioning, reading and measuring with US inch and SI metric
scales, plus different types of sectional views. Subsequent units
enable readers to gain valuable experience interpreting more
specialized engineering drawings, including pipe drawings,
structural steel shapes, welds, gear trains, and more. Hands-on
assignments at the end of each short, concise unit offer
opportunities to put new knowledge into practice, enabling readers
to gain confidence as they develop their print reading skills. |

Attendance: Attendance is required. Let
the instructor know (by phone or email) if you are unable to attend.
You get 3 points for each class you attend, 1 point if you notify me
ahead of time, and 0 points if you are absent and do not let me
know. Homework: You must
complete homework from the textbook. Due dates will be
provided on this website. Homework turned in up to one week late
receives a 50% penalty.
Some class time (lab time) will be used to work on homework.
Final Exam: The exam will challenge you
to produce sketches, read and interpret drawings, and create CAD
models from drawings. If you have done all homework and projects
assigned, you will be prepared for the exam.
SolidWorks:
There will be several projects assigned using the SolidWorks CAD
software. Due dates will be provided on this website.
Homework turned in up to one week late receives a 50% penalty.
Some class time (lab time) will be used to work on these projects. |
