UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Engineering Graphics Design
ENG 004
Winter 2012
This course is an introduction to engineering design and the related graphical tools used to communicate design
concepts. Topics include the following: visual thinking, engineering design, free-hand sketching, projection theory,
pictorial sketching, solid modeling, engineering drawing standards, tolerancing, and computer-aided design.
This course is designed to address three of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering student outcomes:
! to prepare you to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability;
! to prepare you to communicate effectively;
! to prepare you to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice.
You are required to keep a design notebook (unlined sketchpad) for this course. Details on its use will be discussed
in the first studio (lab) session. It will be collected a few times during the quarter and graded on consistent use and
not on quality alone. Please number, date, and initial each page entry.
The lecture meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00-9:50 in 1227 Haring Hall. From time-to-time there will be
in-class assignments which will count towards your lecture homework grade. All the studio sections meet in 1116
Academic Surge Building (ASB). STUDIOS WILL START MEETING TUESDAY 17 JANUARY (see online
announcemnt and below). You must attend the section in which you are registered.

Topic
Visual Thinking, "free-form" sketching
2D -> 3D & 3D -> 2D sketching, hidden lines/sections,
introduce workstations
Computer accounts, Intro Inventor tutorials
Tutorials – Simple part to be modeled. AD Inventor
download information given to students.
Tutorials – Gyro model & assembly as HW. Break students
into project groups; have them submit three ideas to model
for their project
Final Drawings Tutorials – Simple part & gyro-rotor detail
drawings & sketch of project parts to be modeled w/
measurements and how it will be modeled as hw. Students
may begin project modeling on their own.
Begin project modeling – Organized Studio.
Work on project modeling - No organized studio – TAs
available.
Projects due at end of lab period - No organized studio –
TAs available.
Start on 17 January for A01, on 18 January for A02 and A03, and 19 January for A04.
