COURSE DESCRIPTION

Theory and practice in graphical representation and visualization of 3D objects; descriptive geometry; orthographic projection of principal and auxiliary views; sections; pictorials; developments, and dimensioning theory; includes an introduction to AutoCAD. This class is designed for students in the Architecture Engineering Drafting Program.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Use basic drafting instruments and media.
  • Produce drawings from given problems using established standards.
  • Visualize three-dimensional objects.
  • Create multi-view drawings, partial auxiliary views, and section views.
  • Work from isometric and oblique pictorial drawings.
  • Apply dimensions and tolerances to working drawings.
  • Describe Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD).
  • Describe the engineering design process and documentation methods.
  • Discuss professional ethics, academic dishonesty, and software piracy.

REQUIRED TEXT

Engineering Graphics: Tools for the Mind, Bryan Graham; SDC; ISBN 978-1-58503-412-3, available at the North Seattle Community College Bookstore or various on-line retailers.

ATTENDANCE, LATENESS

Class attendance is very important. Missing more than one week of class (two class periods) may result in a letter grade penalty. Always try to talk to the instructor in advance should you need to be absent. Students are expected to be on time to class.

LEARNING NEEDS

If you need accommodations such as an ergonomic chair or computer mouse, language interpreter, tutor, or any other equipment, please contact the Office of Access Services, if you have not already done so. Also, please inform the instructor as soon as possible.

TUTORING CENTER:

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

A student who submits the work of another as her/his own or deliberately fails to properly credit words or ideas borrowed from another source is guilty of plagiarism. A student, who uses notes, takes an exam for another student, copies answers from another student’s exam, copies drawings in any manner or any other similar conduct aimed at making false representations with respect to student’s academic performance is guilty of cheating. Please refer to the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook for more information regarding academic dishonesty.
