METC 107 - Mechanical Design & Documentation

PROGRAM: Mechanical Engineering Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020

This course introduces the beginning student to the fundamental skills necessary to take a design from concept to implementation via virtual modeling and the creation of working mechanical drawings. Utilizing both traditional and contemporary tools, students will study visualization, established technical drawing techniques, CADD-based design, and characteristic standards to produce mechanical designs and drawings that can be readily and successfully shared with production organizations to create accurate parts and assemblies.

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

Demonstrate a foundational knowledge of selected technical drawing skills including sketching practices.
Demonstrate fundamental proficiency in computer aided design and drafting systems (CADD) as an extension of technical drawing and sketching skills.
Utilize 2D/3D CADD to create models necessary for production/manufacturing.
Utilize standards common to mechanical design to create documentation necessary for production/manufacturing.
Apply the principles of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD & T) to a component part within an assembly.

COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -

Sketching
Traditional dimensioning and tolerancing
2D/3D CADD model creation tools
Sections, breaks, and auxiliary views
