TENTATIVE COURSE SYLLABUS - DTEC/ENGR 124
2 Hours Lecture 4 Hours Laboratory 3 Units/ 16 Weeks
1. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Introduction to basic drafting techniques that the engineer and drafting technologist should have. The units of study includes multi-view projection, lettering, pictorial drawing and sketching: sections and conventions: dimensioning: auxiliaries: intersections and development with basic AutoCAD. This study is presented within the context of industrial techniques and standards. Also listed as Drafting Technology 124. (This course may not be taken if ENGR 124 has been taken.)
2. COURSE PREQUISITE:
None
3. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Students will be able to:
A. Demonstrate knowledge of the overall requirement needed for technical drawings.
B. Identify the differences in the graphic languages of various engineering fields.
C. Develop the necessary skills for freehand sketching techniques.
D. Develop basic technical principals for orthographic projections.
E. Apply advanced technical principals for multiview projections and sectional views.
F. Demonstrate the ability to visualize objects in pictorial drawings.
G. Apply basic AutoCAD commands.
H. Plot and print drawings.
I. Gain a working vocabulary of technical terms, standards, and abbreviations for
Engineering drawings using CAD.
4. COURSE CONTENT:
The content of this course is divided into two parts and designed to include the textbook's exercises and individual projects. Therefore, the instructor reserves the right to adjust the proposed content and time schedule as needed. Please refer to the section that covers "Fall 2002 Calendar" in the Class Schedule, p. 3, for specific days of observed holidays.

7. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION:
A. Lectures/demonstrations
B. Laboratory assignments.
C. Handout materials and projects.
This is primarily a lab class, 2/3 laboratory and 1/3 lecture. The instructor (or tutor) will assist students individually in the lab portion of the class as work is performed on class assignments. Lectures will cover material required to complete assignments.
There will be a continuous development through each sequence of the following:
1. Freehand technical sketching techniques
2. Vocabulary, symbols and dimensioning fundamentals
3. Multiview projection
4. Application of above principles to computer drawing using AutoCAD
Emphasis on understanding - and the ability to use the graphic language of drawings and schematics in industrial situations. Perfect performance will not be required for the general technician as would be the case for those who plan to specialize in design, illustration or related graphical technologies.
Each lecture/laboratory period will include explanation or requirements and techniques, practice and interpretation. Practical illustrations and examples will be used. Instructor will encourage a freely questioning class to be sure the student understands the presentation and the related industrial applications.
8. METHOD OF EVALUATION:
A grading system will be established by the instructor and implemented uniformly. Grades will be based on demonstrated proficiency in subject matter determined by multiple measurements for evaluation, such as written exams and skills demonstration, or where appropriate, the symbol system.
Quizzes and/or tests may be comprised of true/false, multiple choice, problem solving, vocabulary questions and technical drawing.
A. Students are expected to attend all class meetings and be on time.
B. Missing two class meetings during the semester is an excessive absence! It will
lower your grade by one letter grade.
C. It is the student's responsibility to drop or withdraw from this class. Please
read carefully the section that covers "Student Withdrawal and Grade
Responsibility" in the "Fall 2002 Class Schedule," p. 3.
D. Grading Components: Approximate % of Total Grade
1. Drawing exercises/in class projects 50%
2. Mid-term 20%
3. Final exam 20%
4. Attendance 10%
Numerical scoring system and grade translation:
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
F D C B A A
9. DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS REQUIREMENTS/REQUESTS:
Accommodations to meet the needs of students with disabilities are usually made known and provided for during the registration process. However, there is a potential of a particular classroom configuration (or equipment) to create an unintentional barrier to a students ability to fully participate in the learning process. Any student confronted with such a barrier is requested to notify the instructor as soon as possible.
