This course will continue to explore the field of mechanical drawing including multi-view drawing, dimensioning, and assembly drawings. We also look at design by creating drawings then building a cardboard chair that must support your weight. All drawing will be done using AutoCAD.

Course Outline:

• Review of orthographic drawing on AutoCAD

• Review of dimensioning

• Constructional geometry

• Sectional Views

• Introduction to Design

 

 Projects:

• Drawing assignments including detail and assembly drawings

• Final projects – design and build cardboard chair

 

Course Overview: 

This course is the continuation of the Introduction to CAD class and an important element in “STEAM” education. This class can be considered as an art elective. This course will continue to explore the field of mechanical drawing including multi-view drawing, dimensioning, and assembly drawings. We also look at design by creating drawings then building a cardboard chair. All drawing will be done using AutoCAD.
