Program Goals for Student Learning:
By graduation, Engineering Technology students should be able to:
1. Think critically and creatively;
2. Understand the theoretical principles of the profession;
3. Understand and apply relevant technology in the solution of technical problems;
4. Organize, manage, and maintain projects;
5. Develop an appreciation for ethical and professional practices;
6. Develop and refine oral, written, and visual communication skills; and
7. Demonstrate an overall competency in the program objectives.
Course Catalog Description:
An introduction to drafting including shape description, geometry construction, sketching,
orthographic and isometric drawing, sectioning, and applied descriptive geometry. Basic dimensioning,
Tolerancing, and pictorial drawings will be covered. An introduction to the use of microcomputer for
design (CAD) of industrial prints of intermediate complexity.
Course Objectives:
By finishing the course, Students will be able to:
1. Understand field of engineering drawing and descriptive geometry, the graphical languages of
industrial technology
2. Have knowledge of engineering geometry and its application in engineering design process.
3. Understand engineering visualization principle, projection theory, and their applications in
engineering drawing
4. To develop a capability of both hand sketching and computer aided drawing in engineering area
5. To develop a skill of using proper engineering drawing techniques for adequate representation of
engineering parts
Last Day to Drop Course:
Students should follow university schedule for dropping class.
Course requirement:
1. There will be homework/lab work/class project for each class session. Students shall perform
hand/computer drawing during lab period.
2. The assigned homework/lab work is due on the first class of next week. Any unexcused late work will
be penalized by 10% for each delayed week.
3. Class project is due on the assigned day. Any delayed project will not be accepted.
4. Students are expected to participate class discussions, group activities and lab practice actively. 1% of
total points will be reduced for each unexcused absence. If a personal or family emergency necessitates
being absent from class, please contact the Student Development and Orientation Office in Seal Hall 301
or by phone (309-298-1884). This office serves as a liaison between students, family, and faculty in
emergency situation.

Final Examination:
Time and date is prescribed on university final exam schedule. Any exceptions to the final exam schedule
must be approved by department chair and the Dean of the College of Business and Technology in
writing including student’s name, ID# and signatures.
Rules for Giving an Incomplete:
According to WIU policy, a temporary symbol of I (Incomplete) for a course may be given only when a
student, due to circumstances beyond his or her control, has been unable to complete the course
requirements within the official limits of the term. The circumstances must be documented to the
instructor’s satisfaction.
Academic Integrity:
All students are expected to maintain a high standard of conduct. Any case of scholastic dishonesty
(cheating, plagiarism, collusion, diskette copying/sharing, etc.) or other misconduct will be treated by all
University regulations and policies on Academic Integrity.
Use of Internet resources:
Students are required to have WIU computer account to access the public drive (drive P), computer aided
drawing software (AUTOCAD), and westernonline.wiu.edu for class information.
Access & Disabilities:
If you have emergency medical information, if you need special arrangements in case the building must
be evacuated, or if you need accommodations in this course because of a disability, please make an
appointment with instructor as soon as possible. If you plan to request disability accommodations, you are
expected to register with the Disability Support Services (DSS) at 298-2512.
Resolution of Problems:
Should a problem occur, students should speak to their instructor first. If the problem is not resolved,
meet with the chair of the department. If the problem continues to be unresolved, go to the College of
Business and Technology’s Dean.
Students should observe the following sequence for the resolution of problems:
Student --- Instructor --- Chairperson --- Dean
