EDG 1211: Engineering Graphics I

3 Credit Hours

Description:
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 ASME standards. Topics include fundamentals of engineering graphics, introduction to GD&T principles, introduction to SolidWorks sheet metal and weldment design environments, orthographic projection, sectional views, pictorial drawings, dimensioning, industry practices, file management, geometric construction, basic 3D coordinate geometry, parametric solid modeling, and drawing composition.

Notes: Students must provide a notebook computer with a Windows OS and inclusive hardware facilitating the efficient operation of SolidWorks. Students must provide a stable Internet connection in support of out-of-class work and assignment submissions.
