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)
