Engineering Drawing 1
Uses traditional drafting methods to develop manual drafting skills for drawings and engineering-related problems. Compares CAD and manual techniques. Areas of study include use of drafting equipment, technical sketching, geometric constructions, setting up drawings, reproducing blueprints, and applying multiview projection theory in the drawing process, complying with ANSI standards. Uses spatial relationships of lines and planes in the sectional and auxiliary view techniques in drawing experiences. Requires completion of formal detailed drawings demonstrating manual drawing skills. Concurrent registration in EGR118 is highly recommended. Fall only.
