This course is intended to provide the student with an understanding of Computer-Aided Drafting principles. Students will utilize the software command structure of two popular CAD programs, namely AutoCAD and MicroStation, to complete a number of typical and practical drafting application exercises. Approximately one-half of the semester will be spent on each program. This is a recognized standard course in beginning drawing for engineering and industrial education. Wood technology serves as an introduction to wood and wood products, the processing of wood, and the related information necessary for woodworking.
Instruction is given in the correct use of hand tools and machine tools.
Materials, jointry, project design, project development and safety in the woodworking laboratory are topics for study in wood technology. This course serves as an introduction to the problems, techniques, and processes of modern machining technology. Instruction is given in the use of hand and machine tools, introduction to computer numerical control, product planning and development, metric measurement, safety, and opportunities for employment in the machining industry. This course emphasizes problems of space relations of points, lines, surfaces, intersections, and developed surfaces, and their application to the graphical solution of engineering problems. This course is an in-depth study of the electronic principles associated with AC circuits.
