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.
ABET Student Outcomes addressed by the course:
(g) An ability to communicate effectively.
(k) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practices.
