Understand the need for section views, the section view types, and the special sectioning conventions Create section views automatically starting from 3-D solid models 6. This course will introduce the student to the language of engineering design graphics. Early parts of the course will cover modern concurrent engineering design process, the basics of sketching, and the projection theory. A substantial part of the course will deal with elements of geometry and construction, culminating with the creation of complex 3-D objects through solid modeling on a modern CAD system. Conventions and concepts relating to multiview drawings, pictorial drawings, section drawings, and dimensions will be taught in the class and practiced in the lab using 3-D solid models.
Evaluation is based on weekly lab assignments, exams, and a comprehensive final project.
