The student will gain knowledge and skills needed to produce drawings and understand basic drafting theory. Topics developed on the board will include sketching, lettering, instruments, scaling, applied geometry, orthographic projection, dimensioning, applied technical mathematical relations, primary auxiliary views, sections, threads, and weld symbols.
This is a systems oriented course designed to introduce students to the concepts, techniques, and applications of PC-based computer aided drafting. It is the intent of the course to provide students with competencies that will allow them to use the system to create drawing files and down load files for hard copies. Command structure, coordinate systems, text dimensions, and plotting will be covered.
This course is the study of the principles involved in the construction drawings of an average wood frame residential structure. A complete set of working drawings will be developed.
The study and application of standards used for producing working drawings, including the fundamentals of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Both detail and assembly drawings will be mechanically produced.
This is a study in advanced CAD concepts and procedures to develop three-dimensional wire frame models. Emphasis will be on the creation and use of 3D primitives, surface modeling, basic solids modeling, shading techniques, and the use of animation software. Exercises will include rendered output to paint type printers.
Intended as a first course in highway engineering. It is inclusive of surveying topics pertinent to the design and layout of highways. The transportation engineering profession, geometry, pavement selection, highway soil mechanics and characteristics of the vehicle, driver, pedestrian, and the road will be discussed. A semester design project based on fieldwork will be completed as part of the laboratory section.
Prerequisite: CET 181 or consent of instructor Course Fee: $25.00
The student will explore advanced computer modeling techniques used in industrial design. Students will experiment with various applications in solving assigned problems.
Prerequisites: DRFT 256, DRFT 356, or consent of instructor Course Fee: $10.00
A study in the effects of using CAD images, animation, and video for professional presentations. Students will explore a variety of software and techniques. A final project will be required.
Prerequisite: DRFT 256 or instructor permission Course Fee: $15.00
An advanced course designed to prepare the student for the basics of mechanical design. Techniques and procedures used in the design process, geometric tolerancing and dimensioning, and the application of CAD will be studied.
This course meets the general education requirements for a capstone course. Prerequisite: DRFT 205 and DRFT 256 Course Fee: $10.00
3 semester credits (Lec.1, Lab. 4; Spring) The application of pictorial representations to describe external and internal design features of manufactured components, subassemblies, and completed products; and construction projects.
3 semester credits (Lec. 2, Lab. 2; Spring) This is a system oriented course designed to introduce students to the concepts and techniques involved with AEC-CAD applications software. Applications relating to residential drawing and small commercial design will be explored. A plot plan, foundation plan, floor plan, electrical plan, elevations, and a 3D pictorial will be developed.
Prerequisites: DRFT 201 and DRFT 256 Course Fee: $15.00
A course in the principles and application of CAD/CAM and CNC technology. Students will solve problems associated with coordinate geometry, data-base exchange, G and M codes.
