E GR 1206 Engineering Graphics

Spring 2014
Course Goal. Upon completion of the course the student should be able to read and
prepare engineering drawings and be able to use a Computer Aided Design software.
The lab's curriculum focus is on students learning principles of Engineering Graphics,
Orthographic and Pictorial Isometric presentations, Autodesk Inventor Pro and
completing weekly drawings culminated by a major design project. Basic principles of
orthographic projection, dimensions and tolerances, fasteners, section and auxiliary
views, and working drawings are covered.

Expected Student Learning Outcomes:

(1) apply the basic principles of orthographic projection
(2) use freehand sketching to communicate design intent
(3) understand the use of standard, auxiliary, and sections views
(4) apply appropriate dimensions and tolerances to the above views
(5) Develop proficiency in problem solving, using applied and descriptive
geometry fundamentals.
(6) Develop a set of working drawings
(7) Gain proficiency in the use of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
software program (Autodesk Inventor Pro).

Methods of Assessment of Learning Outcomes:

(1) Three Exams. Exams will measure both lecture and CAD content of the curriculum.
Exam questions will be multiple choice, True/False, Short Essay, and/or Problems; might
include the use of CAD software. [10% each, = 30% toward final grade]
(2a) Homework (HW) assignments will be used to measure understanding of weekly
material presented in lectures.
(2b) Laboratory assignments will be used to measure understanding of material presented in
lectures, CAD Software and its application to orthographic projection and parametric
problems. (Lab assignments are due on same day. Let your instructor know if you
need extra time, ASAP)
(2c) Pop quizzes. [each quiz will count like two Homework or Lab-assignment.
[Homeworks, Lab assignments and Quizzes count as 45% toward final grade]
(4) A Lab Final Project will be used to measure overall understanding of engineering
graphics principles and the CAD software. The project will require each student to
prepare parts (.ipt), assembly (.iam), presentation (.ipt), a set of working drawings (.idw)
of a design assembly; drive constraint(s) and be able to answer questions. Final Project is
to be worked during class sessions and progress is checked for each lab session toward
lab credit. [25% each toward final grade]
