Description: This advanced design and drafting course addresses the processes of product design, from concept through final production drawings. Documentation requirements for each step includes: design requirements definition, conceptual design, design evaluation/refinement, preliminary design, detail design, and final production documentation. Industry practices are stressed throughout the course as students develop skills in conceptual sketching, orthographic projection, dimensioning and tolerancing, and drawing notes. Research, planning and sketching are done manually, while formal drawings are prepared on a personal computer utilizing appropriate Computer Aided Design/Drafting (CADD) software.
