Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis introductory course covers the fundamentals of traditional board drafting, descriptive geometry, orthographic projection, graphical communication of technical engineering information and Computer- Aided Drafting (CAD). Topics include freehand drawing, lettering, and theory of orthographic and multi-view projections. Basic drafting skills, industry standards and technical graphics practices, and engineering scales are presented. The theory of descriptive geometry is taught including the fundamentals of auxiliary views, coordinate systems, sectioning, dimensioning, lines, planes intersections, visibility, and development. Coordinate dimensioning and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) subjects are covered including location tolerance, datum reference, tolerance symbols and feature control frames. An introduction to both 2-D and 3-D CAD, in two separate software packages is given. CAD instruction includes drawing set up and settings, creating templates, title blocks, layers, drawing basic geometric objects, extrusion, dimensioning and creating basic engineering drawings such as part and assembly drawings as well as orthographic multi-view drawings.
