| Course Description |
Introduction to the principles of drafting to include terminology and fundamentals, including size and shape descriptions, projection methods, geometric construction, sections, auxiliary views, and reproduction processes. Instructs students in modern graphics and modeling fundamentals for engineering design. Students will be introduced to freehand sketching, multi-view orthographic projection, shape modeling and its applications in computer-aided drafting and design (CADD). Studies will include graphic geometry and projection techniques, visualization methods, pictorial drawings, geometric modeling techniques for CADD, drafting practices, and manufacturing processes and materials documentation. |
