EG 123 - Applied Engineering Graphics/CAD

1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
The objectives of this course are to acquaint the student with the operation of a CAD system and to apply projective geometry knowledge acquired in EG-122 to spatial problems both manually and on the computer. Specific topics will include perpendicularity, clearance distance, parallelism, piercing points and intersections. (prereq: EG 122 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Have a greater awareness of spatial relationships and visualization
  • Have the ability to understand and utilize projective geometry techniques in the solution of three-dimensional problems
  • Have the ability to utilize three-dimensional computer graphics to generate, manipulate, and analyze graphical representations and spatial relationships

Prerequisites by Topic
  • Isometric and orthographic sketching
  • Scales
  • Projection theory (auxiliary views, points, lines, planes, visibility)
  • Spatial geometry (true lengths, point views, edge views, true size)
  • Sections
  • Dimensioning

Course Topics
  • CAD generation and editing of 3-D wire geometry (8 classes)
  • CAD view layout and dimensioning (4 classes)
  • CAD solid model creation (5 classes)
  • True angles (4 classes)
  • Rotation (3 classes)
  • Perpendicularity (4 classes)
  • Parallelism (4 classes)
  • Intersections (5 classes)
  • Evaluations (3 classes)

Laboratory Topics
  • Freehand sketches
  • Instrument drawings of spatial problems of each of the course topics
  • Computer generation of 3-D objects
  • Manipulation of 3-D geometry within a CAD envionment
