PREREQUISITES: DESN 102 - Technical Graphics  
PROGRAM: Design Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Summer, 2011

This course introduces fundamental principles in developing graphical solutions to engineering problems. Topics covered in this course include true length, piercing points on a plane, line intersections, true shapes, revolutions, and developments using successive auxiliary views.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Develop an auxiliary view using the “Point Projection” and “Fold Line” method.
  2. Project oblique angle surfaces, curves and circles on auxiliary views.
  3. Project successive auxiliary views.
  4. Solve for various projections such as:
    1. True length lines
    2. Points views
    3. Edges views
    4. True size and shape projections
    5. True angles
    6. Distances between points and lines.
  5. Solve problems for points of intersection between points, lines and planes.
  6. Develop a drawing of the intersection of a plane and prism, plane and pyramid, plane and cylinder.
  7. Draw the development of various transition pieces.
  8. Perform graphical solutions using concurrent and non-concurrent vector system of vectors.
