A course designed to assist in the interpretation of machine, welding, and sheet metal type drawings. You will apply techniques understand symbols, abbreviations, nomenclature and blueprint protocol. (Fall) [Graded]

Solid Modeling has been an integral part of industry in recent years. It is a link between design and manufacturing and construction. Information is quickly communicated to construction and manufacturing companies in the form of drawings prepared to prescribed drafting standards. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Actually, a drawing is worth much more. The speed of graphic comprehension can approach a rate of 50,000 times that of reading. Human beings have always sought the use of tools to make life easier and to enable them to become more productive.

Pre-requisites: None

Required Text: Interpreting Engineering Drawings, Cecil H. Jensen, Raymond D. Hines

Overall Expected Student Learning Outcomes:

• Select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to broadly-defined engineering technology activities;
• Design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives;
• Identify, analyze, and solve broadly-defined engineering technology problems;
• Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
• Demonstrate a knowledge of the impact of engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context; and
• Demonstrate a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.

SUU Essential Learning Outcomes:

• Inquiry & Analysis:
• Inquiry: Students systematically explore issues, objects or works through the collection and analysis of evidence that results in informed conclusions or judgments.
• Analysis: Students break complex topics or issues into parts to gain a better understanding of them.
• Problem solving: Students design, evaluate, and implement strategies to answer open-ended questions or achieve a desired goal.
• Integrative Learning: Students make connections among ideas and experiences and can synthesize and transfer their learning to new, complex situations within and beyond the campus.

Specific Course Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to:

• Create simple 3D solid models
• Create detail drawings
• Create complex 3D solid models
• Create multiple sketch 3D solid models
• Create a working system of multiple 3D solid models
• Create complex multiple part working drawings
• Create complex multiple dimensioned drawings
• Create complex Auxiliary View working drawings
• Create complex Section View Drawings
• Create complex Assembly View drawings

Out of class time will be required to complete all of the assigned drawings.

The instructor reserves the right to substitute and add drawings as needed.

This course will cover 1 unit per day.

Course Structure: The course will progress from simple basic drawings to complex sophisticated drawings. To earn a grade of A students must complete at least 95% of the work, 95% correctly, by the last day of regular classes (not during finals week). This information will appear in CANVAS.

Evaluation:

• All assignments are worth 30 points:
• 3D Solid Models are worth 10 points
• Ortho Graphic 3 View Drawing with Dimensions are worth 10 points
• Answers to Assignment questions are worth 10 points
• Total 30 points
• Unannounced pop quizzes are worth 40 points. There will be unannounced “in class” pop quizzes consisting of a drawing that are in alignment with student skill level at that point in the semester. Pop quizzes can also occur consecutively. There is no makeup on any pop quiz. You can however make up the missed points by completing extra assignments. Come see me I will find additional assignments you can complete.
• Midterm Exam is worth 60 points. The Midterm exam will be an “in class” exam consisting of a drawing that is in alignment with student skill level at mid semester. There is no makeup on the midterm. You can however make up the missed points by completing extra assignments. Come see me I will find additional assignments you can complete.
• Final Exam is worth 60 points. The Final exam will be an “in class” exam consisting of a drawing that is in alignment with student skill level at the end of the semester. There is no makeup on the final.

Final Course Grade: Final Grades will be awarded under the following criteria:

• 100 - 94% = A
• 93 – 90% = A-
• 89 – 87% = B+
• 86 - 84% = B
• 83 - 80% = B-
• 79 – 77% = C+
• 76 - 74% = C
• 73 - 70% = C-
• 69 – 67% = D+
• 66 -64% = D
• 63 -60% = D-
• 59 – 57 = F+
• 56 – less = F

Grades Policy: It is against university policy to submit work AFTER grades have been issued. Course grades will NOT be changed after the fact unless there is an instructor error. Students will be awarded the grade they earned. Grades are issued on student performance.

Course Prerequisites: CCET 2620, CCET 3630, ENGR 1030 or any 3D CAD course.
