DESCRIPTION OF COURSE:

A. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:

A study that stresses the relationship of engineering drawings as related to the manufacture of a working part. Communication of idea’s or fact as related to the manufacturing environment, which includes the process of delivering those ideas in an understandable manner to your piers. Topics of study include lines, views, dimensioning, calculating cutting planes, fraction to decimal conversion, constructing a sketch of a workable engineering drawing, freehand lettering, freehand sketching, auxiliary sections, symbols, and broken lines.
