    Description
    Introduction to engineering as a way of perceiving the world. Overview of design and analytical techniques, problem solving and strategic Introduction to engineering as a way of perceiving the world. Overview of design and analytical techniques, problem solving and strategic thinking, disciplines, and ethics. Fundamentals of engineering graphics as a universal language and application to the visualization, representation, and documentation of designed artifacts, including orthographic projections, pictorial, section, and detail views; creation of basic to intermediate solid parts and assemblies; dimensioning and tolerancing practices; thread notation per ASME Y14.5M-1994. This course covers the principles of engineering drawings in visually communicating engineering designs, and an introduction to solid modeling and computer-aided design (CAD). Assignments develop technical sketching and 2D and 3D CAD skills. The use of solid modeling CAD software (SolidWorks and Creo Parametric) is an integral part of the course, as is the production of physical prototypes using 3D printing and other techniques. This course focuses on the design process and on spatial reasoning and visualization. (C-ID ENGR 110) (CSU/UC)
