The Introduction to Engineerng Graphics course covers both the ASME/ANSI and ISO Graphics and Dimensioning Standards while teaching the fundamentals of parametric wireframe, surface and solid modeling. Students who successful pass this course are well prepared to take Associate Level Certification Exams in Siemens NX, Dassault Systemes CATIA V5, and/or Autodesk Inventor, depend on which tool(s) they focus on in their labs. In the labs students learn the principles and techniques of 3-dimensional surface and solid modeling applied to real-world engineering objects and assemblies. Conceptual, preliminary and detailed part and assembly models are assigned as exercises to reinforce the theoretical classroom lectures. This course teaches the graphics language and standards necessary for engineering students to read, understand and sign-off engineering drawings and documents. Students are required to detail (create and annotate engineering drawing) their CAD models, demonstrating their ability to both read and apply graphic standards. In short this course focuses on CAD-based modeling and engineering graphics standards, including coordinate and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing practices.
