♦ENGR 1304
Engineering Graphics

CRT HRS:3   LEC HRS:2   LAB HRS:3   OTH HRS:0

This course is an introduction to computer-aided drafting using CAD software (Solid Works) and sketching to generate two- and three-dimensional drawings based on the conventions of engineering graphical communication; topics include spatial relationships, multi-view projections and sectioning, dimensioning, graphical presentation of data, and fundamentals of computer graphics. If time permits, rapid prototyping via 3D printing and/or CNC milling will be introduced.

Prerequisite: TSI complete in Reading and completion of MATH 1414 with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent.
