  2. Understand detail and assembly drawings. (b)
  3. Demonstrate skills in multi-view drawings required for manufacture and repair of machinery. (a,b,e)
  4. Discuss detail drawings involving multi-view projections, sectional views, auxiliary views, dimensioning subassemblies, and isometric illustrations. (b,f)
  5. Develop and use mathematical formulas to compute coordinates and solve machining-related problems. (e)
  6. Apply tolerances, limits, and fits to meet manufacturing requirements. (a,e)
  7. Read prints, interpret drawings, and understand engineering specifications. (b)
  8. Think critically and independently, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate technical problems and information. (e)
  9. Solve problems and make decisions using formal process methods. (e)
  10. Solve mathematical problems related to engineering drawings. (e)
  11. Verbally describe and interpret data obtained from prints. (b,f)
