2 COURSE DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the fundamental concepts and features of the AutoCAD (2D) computer-assisted-drafting program. This is a hands-on lab course which attempts to cover as many pertinent software commands and functions as possible in order to help students, with no previous knowledge of the program, to become competent and capable operators. The in-class exercises (which build upon each other) are designed to clearly illustrate AutoCAD commands while reiterating the CSA drafting standards discussed in the Blueprint Reading Course (MT-152). Weekly instruction will be given in one of the AutoCAD equipped labs in a 3-hour session consisting of brief lectures on software theory and drafting standards followed by a lab session, with an emphasis placed on hands-on experience. Session times typically break down as follows: 25% lecture/instruction and 75% in-lab usage of the CAD equipment and software. In most sessions the student will be introduced to new drafting theory as well as CAD commands, operations and techniques. A series of specifically designed illustrative exercises, which will be assigned during the course, will provide the student with the necessary practice for skill development. It should be noted that these exercises are intended to be completed and submitted by the end of the class or by the start of the next session. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion, students will have reliably demonstrated the ability to: Comprehend the fundamental graphic language concepts of mechanical engineering drafting (CSA standards). Effectively use the fundamental program commands found in the AutoCAD software. Employ the AutoCAD software to prepare precise and fully annotated multi-view two-dimensional orthographic engineering drawings & graphics, including full and partial sections, all of which properly adhere to CSA standards and meet acceptable industry standards. ESSENTIAL EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS (EES): This course supports the students ability to: Communicate clearly, concisely and correctly in the written, spoken and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of audiences. Reframe information, ideas and concepts using the narrative, visual, numerical and symbolic representations, which demonstrate understanding. Use a variety of computer hardware and software, and other technological tools appropriate and necessary to the performance of tasks. Create innovative strategies and/or products that meet identified needs. Manage the use of time and other resources to attain personal and/or project-related goals. Take responsibility for his or her own actions and decisions. PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT & RECOGNITION PROCESS (ES): This course is eligible for PLAR through the Registrar and SETAS offices. Assessment of portfolio and/or testing may be discussed with faculty. SETAS: THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 2

3 EVALUATION & GRADING SYSTEM: Evaluation Policies: Attendance to all classes is mandatory. Students are expected to punctually attend all lectures and to complete all drawing assignments in the allotted time specified for each*. Failure to attend 20% or more may result in the student not being permitted to write the final exams. If one of the term tests cannot be written because of documented medical or compassionate reasons, the weight of the final exam will be proportionally increased. Note that a mark of zero will be recorded in cases where no reason, acceptable to the professor, is provided. Students must write and pass the final exams in order to pass the course regardless if sufficient marks have already been obtained in the semester. (Note: any student, who is otherwise passing the course but will fail as a result of failing the final examination, will be permitted to write one supplemental examination. This supplemental examination will normally occur within approximately two weeks after the final grades are posted.) This course does not prescribe to re-writes except in such cases as discussed in the Student Accommodation section. All Drawings & Assignments will be marked in the following manner: Mark Assigned: Rationalization: Relative Valuation: OK N-OK (Not-OK) Ø Drawing is correct and complete. (Drawing may contain up to 3 minor errors.) Drawing is mostly correct but contains more than 3 minor errors or 1 major error. Drawing has more than 5 minor errors, 2 or more major errors or was submitted late. 1 point ½ point 0 points IMPORTANT NOTE: Plagiarism and copying will not be tolerated. All copied work (assignments/drawings/tests), including the original, will receive a zero grade. No exceptions! (Refer to the College s Plagiarism Policy on Page 5.) Evaluation and Grade Allocation: Portfolio: In-class Drawings & Assignments* 10% Tests: Term Test #1 20% Term Test #2 30% Final Test 40% TOTAL: 100% *Note, unless otherwise specified, all drawing assignments are generally due at the end of class or by the start of the next session. Late drawing assignments will not be accepted or marked. SETAS: THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 3

4 STUDENT ACCOMMODATION: All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website ( ). If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

Proof of Student Status Students must produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a driver s license, health card, or other government-issued photo identification. Final Examinations When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-id cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-id will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-id, but they will be required to produce photo-id at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. More Final Examination Policies are available at Cheating Any student who, in an examination, copies from the work of another person in the examination room, or who uses notes or other memory aids without the permission of the invigilator, or who permits such copying, or supplies such notes or memory aids to another, breaches proper conduct and is liable to a sanction under this Academic Honesty and Plagiarism Policy and Procedures. This type of action may also be subject to an academic sanction such as a failing grade. Plagiarism Any Student who, in an assignment, submits work that is substantially copied from the work of another person, without attribution, and represents that such work is his or her own, breaches proper conduct and is liable to a sanction under this Policy. This type of action may also be subject to an academic sanction such as a failing grade. Academic Progression Policy for Diploma and Certificate Programs College Academic Standings will be applied.
