COURSE DESCRIPTION
Graphics/CAD involves the visualization, sketching, and geometric construction of
mechanical components. In this course students will layout and create 2D working
industrial drawings that adhere to industry standards. The main emphasis of this course
will illustrate CAD drawing construction techniques that implement graphical
communication through the use of the alphabet of lines, orthographic projection, section
views, auxiliary views and the creation of assembly and detail mechanical components.
This course will also use the ASME Standard Y14.5M-1994 for Geometric Dimensioning
& Tolerancing to facilitate the communication of geometry requirements for associated
features on detail components and assemblies.
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course the student will be able to do the following:
1. Create working industrial drawings of mechanical components and assemblies to
acceptable industrial standards for fabrication and assembly.
2. Graphically communicate the design intent of a mechanical component.
3. Demonstrate the ability to visualize in 3D from 2D views.
4. Demonstrate the ability to perform basic computations, perform measurements,
convert numerical data and predict arithmetic results.
5. Demonstrate knowledge of mechanical part types, such as but not limited to sheet
metal flat patterns, extruded parts, castings, forgings, and machined parts.
6. Demonstrate knowledge of mechanical dimensioning & tolerancing principles and
when to apply them.
