DRFT 115 - Engineering Graphics

3 credits (2 lecture, 4 lab)
This course implements the engineering design process as an approach to problem solving. The curriculum will emphasize skills such as technical sketching, orthographic projection, sectioning, dimensioning, applying tolerances, threads and fasteners, detail and assembly drawing. The following engineering tools will assist students through the design process of several design projects: parametric 3D modeling with SolidWorks, spreadsheets with Excel, Finite Element Analysis, rapid prototyping with stereo lithography (using local service bureau), and PowerPoint for presentations.
