Course Description:
A beginning course for two and four year technology majors (such as Engineering, Design, Interior Decorating, and Architecture), students who need a related drafting class, and students wanting to explore a drafting class; includes sketching, instruments and their use, lettering, geometric construction, shape and size description, sectional views, auxiliary views, threads and fasteners, and an introduction to working drawings; three hours of lectures per week; lab time as required.
Concurrent Enrollment:
Upon completion of this course, a state competency test will be given. Through concurrent enrollment, you are able to receive 3 credit hours from Weber State University (WSU), provided you earn a “B” or better for this class. Students must be a junior or senior to be eligible. Students interested in applying for this credit should have completed an application to be approved and forwarded to WSU.
Course Objectives:
The student will learn Graphics Communication with an emphasis on freehand sketching, geometric construction and modeling basics, multi-view projections, pictorial presentation and preparation of production drawings. The student will also learn how to read and produce blueprints, dimension parts for manufacturing operations, tolerance features, and understand standard threads and fasteners. The student will also be introduced to the use of computers in the preparation of drawings.
1. The students will be able to use drafting machines and tools
2. Students will be able to understand professional drafting room procedures and safe practices
3. The students will be able to understand and demonstrate the use of vertical, upper case, and gothic lettering
4. The students will be able to understand and demonstrate sketching techniques
5. The students will be able to understand and demonstrate drawing layouts
6. The students will be able to understand and demonstrate how to complete a drawing using the alphabet of lines
7. The students will be able to develop and complete multi-view drawings
8. The students will be able to produce geometric shapes, such as: straight lines, geometric angles, plane figures, circles and arcs, and irregular geometric figures
9. The students will be able to understand how to reproduce a drawing
10. The student will be able to develop drawings to specified scales
11. The student will be able to apply standard dimensioning practices to a drawing
Required Textbook & Materials:
Fundamentals of Graphics Communication, 4th edition, Gary R. Bertoline
ISBN 0-07-286458-3, Copyright 2005
Basic Technical Drawing, Spencer, Dygdon, & Novak
Most of the reading and assignments can be found on my blog.
Due to the increasing cost of drafting equipment, students are encouraged to provide their own drafting tools. The following items are a minimum of what students are required to have in class;
.7 mm Mechanical Pencil
.5 mm Mechanical Pencil
Paper for notes and instruction and a 3 ring binder for the portfolio
The following will be provided: (Students can purchase their own tools and supplies from Office Max, Staples, or Ogden Blue)
Erasing Shield
Scales: Architectural, Civil, and Metric
Triangles: 30-60-90 and 45-45-90
Eraser: Mylar
Compass
Drafting Vellum and Plot paper.
Course Requirements:
* The class portfolio is required for each student and is a very important part of this class.
1. The portfolio will be kept in the classroom. Upon completion of the class, the contents of the portfolio will be kept by the student.
2. It should have you competency profile, a copy of the disclosure statement, class outline, class handouts, and assignments.
3. During the course, all lecture notes, assignment sheets, jobs sheets, worksheets, drawings, quizzes, and tests are to be kept in the portfolio in order by subject, and by the order in which they were accomplished.
4. The portfolio will be graded by its neatness (organization/craftsmanship) and completeness.
Grading:
Each graded assignment, drawing, exercise, test, quiz, journal, etc. will be given points rather than a letter grade. The student’s points will be recorded on a spreadsheet. At the end of the quarter, the student will total the points earned and divide by the total points possible to determine the final percentage. The resulting percentage will be converted to a letter grade based on the following:
95-100% = A
90-94% = A-
87-89% = B+
84-86% = B
80-83% = B-
77-79% = C+
74-76% = C
70-73% = C-
67-69% = D+
64-66% = D
60-63% = D-
59-00% = E
Student Code of Conduct:
An approved Weber State University Concurrent Enrollment class is an academic extension of the WSU campus. As such, students registered for WSU concurrent credit are expected to assume the personal obligation to conduct themselves in a manner which is compatible with the University’s role as a public institution of higher education.
By registering for WSU concurrent enrollment credit, a student agrees to maintain certain standards of conduct which, if violated, may result in University discipline. Typically a concurrent student will be expected to assume responsibility for meeting a high school’s student code of conduct as well. (PPM, 6-22, IV Student Responsibilities, A.)
The WSU Concurrent Enrollment Student Code of Conduct is based on the WSU Student Code. The WSU Student Code is the summary document for the Student Policy and Procedures Manual (SPPM) and incorporated into the university’s Policy and Procedures Manual (PPM) No. 6-22 accessed through http://weber.edu/ppm/6-22.htm.
WSU Concurrent Enrollment adjunct faculty have the authority to determine the appropriate sanction for violations b-g (defined below) according to agreements breached with the sponsoring WSU academic department.
For cheating violations (defined on page 2 of this document), the instructor of the concurrent enrollment class will notify the Early Access Programs office and, unless the sponsoring WSU academic department has indicated a different policy, the instructor will use, as a minimum, the following generic departmental grading policy for cheating in concurrent enrollment classes:
1. A student found cheating one time will receive “0" for that exam grade and the grade may not be omitted from a class average. A report of the student’s name, class, behavior, and resulting discipline will be sent from the Early Access Programs office to the student, the high school administration, and the sponsoring WSU academic department.
2. A student found cheating two or more times will receive an “E” (failure) and no credits for the course. A report of the student’s name, class, behavior, and resulting discipline will be sent from the Early Access Programs office to the student, the high school administration, and the sponsoring WSU academic department.
