Engineering Graphics
4 unites (3 units of lecture and 1 unit of lab)
Prerequisite: Trigonometry
Course Description:
This course covers the principles of engineering drawings in visually communicating
engineering designs and an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD). Topics include the
development of visualization skills; orthographic projections; mechanical dimensioning and
tolerancing practices; and the engineering design process. Assignments develop sketching and
2-D and 3-D CAD skills. The use of CAD software is an integral part of the course.
Course Content:
Engineering Design
Basic engineering drawing concepts
Visualization skills
Use of engineering/architect scales
Multiview drawings
Auxiliary Views
Pictorial projections
Section Views
Dimensioning
Tolerancing
Threaded fastener terminology
CAD:
o 2D Construction and Editing Tools
o 3D solid modeling
Detail and Assembly Drawings
Descriptive Geometry (optional)
Student Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Apply rules of orthographic projection to create multiview drawings.
2. Create pictorials from orthographic views.
3. Use CAD software to create:
2D engineering drawings, including working drawings and assembly drawings.
3D models and assemblies
4. Create auxiliary and section views of an object following correct conventions.
5. Apply standards of dimensioning and tolerancing to engineering drawings.
6. Apply the engineering design process to a design project.
