ENGR 1300 Engineering Visualization

2 semester hours

Introduction to engineering drawing and sketching as a tool for design communication. Development of three-dimensional (3D) visualization skills for engineering analysis and design. Use of computer-aided design (CAD) software packages for the creation of 3D parametric solid models. Presentation of 3D geometry using two-dimensional (2D) engineering drawings. Creating orthographic planar projections from 3D isometric views including sections, dimensioning, tolerances, and abbreviations. Reading and interpreting professional grade drawings (blueprints) used in industry. Industry examples from Mechanical, Civil and Architectural Engineering will be presented. Teamwork and effective communication are emphasized.
