An introductory course in engineering graphics for non-MET majors. This
course introduces the students to a broad range of engineering graphics
topics. Manual drafting, freehand sketching, and computer-aided design
(CAD) assignments cover theory and application in such areas as fundamentals
of engineering graphics, drafting technique, lettering, orthographic projection,
sectional views, pictorial drawings, dimensioning, and industry practices.
(MET students may not take this course for credit.)
EG 1211 Engineering Graphics I
3-3-4
An introduction to engineering graphics in mechanical engineering and manufacturing
with an emphasis on using computer-aided design (CAD) to produce finished
engineering drawings according to industry and ANSI standards. Topics include
fundamentals of engineering graphics, orthographic projection, sectional
views, pictorial drawings, dimensioning, industry practices, file management,
geometric construction, basic 3D coordinate geometry, surface models, parametric
solid modeling, and drawing composition.
EG 1212 Engineering Graphics II
3-3-4
Prerequisite: EG 1211
A continuation of Engineering Graphics I, covering advanced concepts
of 3D geometry, parametric solid modeling, boundary representation of solids,
databases for manufacturing and inspection, an introduction to geometric
dimensioning and tolerancing according to the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards Organizations (ISO), and
an overview of assemblies and fasteners.
