Course Learning Goals
Students will:
- apply the engineering design process;
- apply graphical drawing, pictorial representation, computer-aided design (CAD), and manufacturing techniques as a quick and specific means of visualization and communications, and to the representation of engineering applications;
- investigate team-based engineering design applications and reverse engineering problems requiring the adaptation of an existing design; and
- analyze the economic, societal, and ethical responsibilities of a professional engineer.
-
Planned Sequence of Topics and/or Learning Activities
The following topics are presented:
- discussion, analysis, and implementation of the engineering design process
- professional aspects of engineering design and drawing: meanings of terms, symbols, and conventional practices
- analysis and implementation of free-hand sketching and pictorial methods of representation including orthographic, isometric, oblique, and auxiliary views
- techniques of graphical, three-dimensional descriptive geometry, both in theory and practice in the analysis and solution of reverse engineering problems and engineering applications using free-hand, CAD engineering software, and manufacturing
- investigation and solution of an engineering design application in a team environment using free-hand, CAD and analysis software, and manufacturing techniques, in order to analyze and explain the economic, societal, environmental, and ethical responsibilities of a professional engineer
