EG 122 - Engineering Graphics/Visualization

1 lecture hours 3 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
This course is designed to develop within the student the skills necessary to visualize three-dimensional relationships existing in the world around us and to represent, with standard graphic conventions, those relationships in a visual form. Topics include shape and orientation recognition, pictorial sketching and mechanical layout conventions including normal views, auxiliary views, sections, dimensioning and scales. In addition, projective geometry theory is presented as a basis for analysis of true size, shape, and distance. (prereq: none) 
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Gain enhanced three-dimensional visualization skills
  • Gain enhanced two- and three-dimensional sketching abilities
  • Have a working knowledge of the orthographic projection system and its use in solving spatial relationship problems
  • Understand the basics of the general forms and uses of section and detail drawings
  • Have a general understanding and working knowledge of dimensioning and tolerancing

Prerequisites by Topic
  • None
