EG 120 - Engineering Graphics I

1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
This course is intended to introduce the student to the history and fundamentals of the graphic language. Topics include three-dimensional visualization, orthographic and axonometric sketching, projection theories, auxiliary views, basic concepts of projective geometry (visibility, lines and planes), as well as an introduction to 3-D CAD. (prereq: none) 
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Have an understanding of the process of logical spatial reasoning and visualization
  • Develop the ability to sketch in pictorial and orthographical forms
  • Develop the ability to read and create two-dimensional layouts with general dimensions
  • Have an understanding of and an ability to utilize projective spatial graphics
  • Develop the ability to use three-dimensional computer programs for engineering graphics
