Course Description: This course covers the fundamentals of mechanical engineering working drawings and their standards. It introduces various types of mechanical elements in terms of function, terminology, geometry and common standards. The 3D CAD software package SolidWorks is used throughout this course where many of its capabilities, toolboxes and element libraries are put to use.
Course Outcomes:
After completing the Mechanical Engineering Drawing course, the student will be able to:
Apply the engineering standards and best practices in engineering drawing.
Assign tolerances, surface finish, limits and fits for mechanical components.
Recognize the different elements used for making non-permanent joints.
Recognize the different permanent joining methods and standard welding symbols.
Recognize the function, terminology, and common standards associated with the different types of mechanical elements.
Use SolidWorks for making assemblies and producing professional engineering working drawings.
Use the different mechanical elements’ toolboxes in SolidWorks.

Final Exam (14 / 5 / 2015)
Exercises & Quizzes:
You will be required to complete SolidWorks exercises during each lab session.
Occasionally, short (15 to 20 minute) quizzes will be given during the lecture or the lab sessions (about 3 to 4 quizzes throughout the semester).
Project:
Each student is expected to do a project that involves part modeling, standard parts from the tool boxes and assembly.
Each student is expected to do the project completely on his own and he needs to start from scratch.
Before starting on your project you need to turn in a proposal showing what you intend to do. Proposal due date: 2 / 4 / 2015
By the completion of the project, each student is required to turn in a report as well as the electronic files of the project. Project due date: 7 / 5 / 2015
After the submission of your project files and report, there will be a discussion of the projects where you will defend your approach, modeling technique and adherence to initial proposal.
Grading:
