Course Objectives
By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
- Learn engineering drawing, which is a graphical language
- Draw engineering drawings in a CAD environment (AutoCAD Mechanical)
- Create the solid models of single parts (in the AutoCAD environment, and in the Autodesk Inventor environment)
- Creates engineering drawings (in AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor environments)
- Reads engineering drawings
- Interprets dimensions, size tolerances, and some annotations
Course Content
Introduction to computer aided drawing. Geometrical constructions. Orthographic drawing and sketching. Three dimensional drawings. Dimensioning principles. Sectioning and conventions.
Course Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed the course, the student will have achieved the following:
1. Draw views, two-dimensional sketches, in CAD environment (particularly in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor)
2. Import 2D AutoCAD file into Inventor environment and create the solid model of the object.
3. Create solid models of objects; objects in basic shapes, composite bodies, custom-built machine parts, building modules etc., particularly in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor environments. Import/export the files from/to other common solid model environments (Such as CATIA, Solid Works, SAT, Pro Engineer, Parasolid, etc.)
4. Draw the orthographic views of an object in CAD environment (particularly in Autodesk AutoCAD environment).
5. Create principle orthographic views of an object from the solid model (particularly in Autodesk Inventor and 3D AutoCAD environments).
6. Dimension the views, show some annotations, provide the size tolerance of functional features, and general tolerances for non-functional features.
7. Explain and interpret the dimensions and the associated tolerances, and some annotations.
8. Create auxiliary views,
9. Create sectional views.
10. Read orthographic views; i.e. visualize the 3- Dimensional model of the object shown to its orthographic views and create the solid model.
In short, having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to write and read the language of the industry, “Engineering Drawing” and to create the solid- model of a single part and its engineering drawings
