EGR119 - Computer Assisted Drafting 2
Credits: 3 Catalog Description: Uses an industrial/engineering level CAD software to generate 2-D drawings. Performs advanced techniques of the software on different drawings. Focuses on CAD software capabilities and graphic problem solving techniques. Requires drawings using various input devices and produce hard copy drawings. Two class hours, two laboratory hours. Prerequisite: EGR118. Lecture: 2 hrs. Lab: 2 hrs. Student Performance Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, as documented by the final practical exam and lab drawings, students will be able to: 1. Solve a minimum of six problems applying different CAD techniques. 2. Complete a drawing using CAD to solve for an engineering calculation such as the surface area on a small machined part. 3.Complete a drawing using CAD in order to demonstrate the ability of dimensioning a drawing using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing techniques. 4.Develop a minimum of three drawings to be incorporated in a professional portfolio demonstrating advanced CAD drafting techniques such as auxiliary view drawing with dimensions, sectional drawings or symbol type drawings. 5.Document knowledge of the operation of the software characteristics of CAD applications through a semester exam. 6.Complete a final practical drawing exam utilizing the software's characteristics and including at least five features available in the CAD program. This course objective has been identified as a student learning outcome that must be formally assessed as part of the College's Comprehensive Assessment Plan. All faculty teaching this course must collect the required data (see Assessing Student Learning Outcomes form) and submit the required analysis and documentation at the conclusion of the semester to the Office pf Assessment and Special Projects. Content Outline: 1.Introduction to software 2.Software structure 3.Setup and starting a drawing 4.Drawing lines and Prototype drawing 5.New drawing and basic commands 6.Line conventions and linetypes 7.Drawing basic shapes 8.Geometric constructions 9.Drawing display options 10.Text procedures 11.Print requirements 12.Basic editing techniques 13.Automatic editing techniques 14.Multiple entities with array and block command 15.Obtaining information about a drawing 16.Working with drawing files 17.Polyline construction 18.Symbols 19.Use of layers 20.Basic dimensioning 21.Sectioning techniques Grading: Drawings labs (30%), Portfolio drawings (35%), Submitting portfolio (5%) and Exams (30%) Effective Term: Fall 2004
