Course Description
Advanced 3D CAD features and solid modeling techniques are covered including patterning,
configurations, library features, and sketch blocks, assemblies of parts, multi-body parts, and 3D printing.
Procedures and Requirements
The course consists of lectures and laboratory sessions, with new subject areas covered through
reading handouts, lectures, and demonstrations. Each lecture is followed by project assignments using the
theory and principles of the subject areas. Students are required to attend the class during the assigned
times. Open lab sessions scheduled throughout the week are also available for the student to complete
CAD assignments. These open labs are monitored and are available on a "first come, first served” basis.
Attendance is expected and required during all class and lab periods. If you miss a class, it is your
responsibility to get the assignments for that day and to have your homework turned in on time. Any
student needing additional help should make an appointment with his/her professor. Also, there is ample
open lab sessions available for the student to complete assigned work.
ADA/504 Compliance
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to
contact the ATTIC counselor working with disabilities at (678) 915-7361 as soon as possible to better
ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion
Grading Policy
Grading will be based solely on assigned projects. These projects will be averaged for the final grade.

Projects
Projects will be graded and assigned a weighting factor. For instance, a project may have a

weighting factor of 2, which means that it will count as two regular projects. Also, there may be projects
that are not graded, but will be counted. In other words, if you do the project you are given credit. If
you fail to complete the project a grade of zero will be assigned. All assigned projects are to be turned in
at the beginning of the class period on the announced due date. Any drawing turned in after the
beginning of the class period will be considered late and will lose 25pts out of a possible 100pts.
Projects are graded on technical accuracy, layout, and professional appearance. One project grade will be
dropped before the final grade is computed.
Student Conduct
Academic dishonesty and non-academic misconduct, in any form, is not tolerated in the classroom. This
includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and disorderly conduct. Please refer to sections in
the Undergraduate Catalog on Disruptive Behavior and Academic Dishonesty.
Course Outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to:
 Correctly dimension a part by choosing which dimensions to use to properly manufacture a part.
 Create a Library Feature and use it in a part file.
 Create various Patterned Features and Sketch Patterns.
 Use configurations to create multiple versions of a single part.
 Create and use sketch blocks.
 Properly work with multi-body parts.
 Use advanced assembly techniques to design and develop a mechanism.
