Stress is placed upon academic and employment opportunities within the family of engineering related occupations. College level drafting, including geometric constructions, ANSI Y14 Standards, unidirectional dimensioning, multiview details, sections, auxiliaries, fasteners, assemblies, isometrics, and geometric tolerancing. Examines graphical solutions of problems involving points, lines, and planes in three-dimensional space by methods of multiview projection. Applications to engineering design and industrial technology are stressed. An advanced course, based on ANSI Y14 Standards of drawing machine components such as various gears, cams, springs, non-screw fasteners, sealants, bearings and weld specification.
Emphasis is placed upon elements of machine and structural design.
Required of all Engineering majors. Examines force systems and equilibrium conditions with emphasis on engineering problems involving structures, machines, distributed forces and friction. Vector and scalar methods are used. Studies the relationships between external loads and the stresses they induce in elementary structural elements for the purpose of developing design formulae. Methods of determining deflections in beams and some elementary satirically indeterminate problems are also studied.
