METC 107 - Mechanical Design & Documentat
PROGRAM: Mechanical Engineering Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022
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, CAD 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 systems (CAD) as an extension of technical drawing and sketching skills.
- Utilize 2D/3D CAD 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 CAD model creation tools
- Sections, breaks, and auxiliary views
- Visualization and projection theory
- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
- 2D/3D CAD drawing and creation tools
