Syllabus
For Your Information

In the near future ENTC 1110, Engineering Drawing, will be
eliminated from the Technology Core!
•
•

The number of credit hours will be reduced from 4 credits to 3 credits.
•
The course will be taken only by students who have not had technical
drawing in high school.
The credit hours in ENTC 2170, CADD, will be increased from 3
credits to 4 credits.
This is second time that I have taught this course in six years.
•
Previously, I had not thought about technical drawing since I
graduated from the University of Houston in 1971.

If you decide to stay in this course, we will persevere!!!!

If you decide to drop and add, you need to do it immediately!!!
