COURSE DESCRIPTION: The dual purpose of this course is to allow the student to become familiarized with the basic technical drawing elements of mechanical engineering graphics as well as the concepts and features of the AutoCAD computer-assisted-drafting program. The course will discuss the principles of graphic communication, projections and the industrial standards utilized in typical engineering drawings. The course will also simultaneously discuss the implementation of the drafting theory by using the computer as an electronic drafting board and design tool. Weekly instruction will be given in two parts: a two hour theory class and a three hour lab session. Theory sessions, which will be held in classrooms, will involve a lecture portion as well as individual manual sketching. The lab sessions, which will be held in one of the AutoCAD equipped computer labs, will consist of approximately ½ -hour theory (software) and 2½-hours of hands-on lab practice. In most sessions the student will be introduced to new drafting principles and/or the necessary CAD commands, operations and techniques to implement the theory. A series of specifically designed illustrative exercises, assigned during the course, will provide the student with the necessary practice for skill development. 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. Employ the AutoCAD software to prepare precise and fully annotated electronic schematics as per IEEE 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: 2008-08-11 THIS COURSE ADHERES TO ALL COLLEGE POLICIES (See College Calendar) Page 2
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. *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. 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.)
