Course description:

This course introduces the engineering design process and graphical tools used by engineers. Topics include orthographic projection, dimensioning and tolerance, spatial reasoning skills, and basic descriptive geometry. Students gain experience in AutoCAD and SolidWorks, including a final design project. 

Objectives--Students will be able to

• 1.     Use the language of engineering design--the orthographic projection

• 2.     Develop free-hand (or instrument assisted) drawings in both the 2D-orthographic and 3D-pictorial styles

• 3.     Use AutoCAD Software to produce 2-D working drawings, including title-blocks, assembly-views, and parts-lists

• 4.     Apply dimensions to engineering drawings with a basic knowledge of tolerances

• 5.     Define, explain, and label standard threaded fasteners

• 6.     Use AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks to create 3-D representations of physical objects

• 7.     Demonstrate the basic concepts of descriptive geometry – primarily the application of successive auxiliary orthographic views

Grading:

You will be expected to complete fifteen regular assignments, 3 tests, and a final design project.

15 Assignments x 10 pts                                              150 pts

3 Tests x 100 pts                                                         300 pts

Design Project                                                              50 pts

Total                                                                           500 pts           
                                   

            A - 90%

            B - 80%

            C - 70%

            D - 60%

All assignments are due on the following Saturday. Assignments will not be accepted after solutions are posted. 

UNEXCUSED TEST ABSENCES

You must present medical evidence for failure to appear for a test. Otherwise you get zero for that test.

CHEATING

Occasionally I have caught students cheating. The standard policy is to give a grade of F for both participants and if deemed necessary make a visit to the Dean of Students with the cheaters. We have had very serious cases in which the students were dropped from the course and suspended from taking courses at MPC. This goes on your record and of course is not viewed favorably by other schools and employers who want and need to trust you.

DROPPING THE CLASS

If you wish to drop the class go to the registration office or online and officially drop BEFORE the last drop date.  Do not depend on me to drop you. If you do not do an official drop then you will get a grade of F for the course. I am not allowed to give you a W after the last drop date.

HOMEWORK TURN IN PROCEDURES  

1) Make a B&W Plot of each drawing:

1)                            make sure your name and exercise number is typed on each drawing

2)                            Select entire drawing, pull down the color by layer arrow and choose white

3)                            Plot a B&W copy of your drawing

4)                            Change the color back to “by layer”

5)                            Staple all drawings together and turn in.

2)  For backup, and additional grading investigation, I need to see the electronic form as well. So Turn in a Zip file of all your drawings:

1)                            Make a folder:  file > new folder, then rename folder  Assign1YourName

                       Where Assign1 is assignment #,  your name is your name

2)                            put all files for assignment into folder

3)                            outside of folder, R-click on folder, choose WinZip>Add To Zip File> (use evaluation version) > Add, then exit by                        clicking the Red X.

4)                            R-click on Assign1YourName.zip>  Copy

5)                            Open MyComputer, engr2$,   R-Click on @dropbox, Paste
