EGR 941 Engineering Design Graphics/CAD: (3-4 Semester Credits)
Engineering Design Graphics/CAD (3-4 semester credit hours, 4-6 contact hours) – This course is introduction to engineering design course, to include graphics and parametric modeling. Design processes including how intent is being met, sketching, dimensioning, tolerancing, multi-view orthographic representations, auxiliary views, section views, and working drawings. Students are required to use CAD in this course. About 20% of the lectures in course should be devoted to the design process. Sketching and CAD techniques should be integrated in this course to achieve the following outcomes:
• Analyze the engineering function of existing products
• Apply design principles and rationale in a realistic and original design project.
• Work in a team to generate, analyze, evaluate and select among engineering design solutions to meet specified requirements
• Create functional description of the design intent
• Develop design objectives
• Build functional physical model and test it
• Communicate the results of the design process, including working drawings, verbal, and written presentations.
• Demonstrate proficiency in freehand sketching to communicate design ideas
• Convert between pictorial and multiviews
• Demonstrate spatial visualization and reasoning skills by using 3D parametric solid modeling analysis
• Interpret and create working drawings
• Convert between pictorial views and multiview drawings.
• Create appropriate section views from given multiview drawings
• Create a properly dimensioned and toleranced multiview drawings using engineering standards
• Create appropriate auxiliary views from given multiview drawings
• Create complete working drawings with detailed part drawings and assembly drawings
REVISED: Fall 2024 – 11/7/2024 – Panel clarified modeling and looking for minimum content for design processes (bolded text). Effective Spring 2025.
