This is an introductory course in computer aided graphics and design for engineers. This course will introduce students to modelling techniques for engineering parts and assemblies, and its application to real life engineering problems using a computer aided design (CAD) software. It will familiarize students with 3-D solid modelling and conventions of 2-D graphical representation of engineering components. As part of the course, there will be a group design project that will produce a drawing package of an appealing, functional, and marketable mechanism or device. The courses to taken include Introduction to Engineering Graphics; Sketch Tools (lines, arcs, circle, rectangle, fillet, chamfer, sketch relations, smart dimension, pattern, mirror, offset entity, trim, etc.); Parts Modeling Techniques (extrusion, revolve, sweep, loft, shell, hole wizard, pattern, rib, mirror, fillet, chamfer, etc.); Detailed Part Drawing (Projection theory and types: perspective, parallel, orthogonal, axonometric, isometric, dimetric, trimetric, Multiview, line types and conventions, types of projection, sheet format: title block and border line, scale, section view, detailed view, dimensioning and tolerancing: size and geometry tolerancing (limit, unilateral, bilateral, general tolerance, etc.); Assembly Modeling (standard mating and exploded views); Detailed Assembly Drawing (balloons, BOM, exploded state, reference dimensioning).
