DFTG 1433 Mechanical Drafting Course Syllabus

This page is for informational purposes only. An official syllabus is provided the first day of class.
Course Description An intermediate course covering detail drawings with proper dimensioning and tolerances, use of sectioning techniques, common fasteners, and 3D isometric and oblique drawings, including bill of materials. This is an advanced course in modern graphic drawing and design. Topics covered include dimensioning techniques, drafting standards, pictorial drawings, auxiliary views, sections, fasteners, assembly and detail drawings. The engineering design process is also covered.
Rationale This course is intended to give students workforce skills in the CAD field.
Instructional Methodology
  • Lectures introduce new material.
  • Exercises allow the instructor to lead students through the material the first time.
  • Projects provide opportunities for students to practice with the new tools on their own.
Prerequisites DFTG 1405 and DFTG 2419 or Instructor approval. May be taken concurrently with DFTG 2419.
Objectives/Outcomes Introduce students to the principals of engineering graphics employing Computer-Aided-Drafting techniques. Describe and demonstrate the process of visualization and construction of orthographic, isometric, and section views. Demonstrate and explain the theory and practice of dimensioning. Explain the importance of standards (ASME and ISO) in the modern engineering graphics environment. Demonstrate the creation of 3D geometry and solid modeling techniques. Demonstrate the steps to convert 3D models into 2D orthographic and isometric views. Demonstrate the techniques of specifying threads and fasteners.

Describe the theory and techniques for creating detail and assembly drawings of complex machines. Present a model for the design process (problem identification, ideation, analysis and refinement, decision and implementation) from conception through working drawings.
Grade Determination Grading policies are determined by individual instructors or course coordinators.
