COURSE OUTLINE
GRAPHICS II
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
EN102. 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: EN 101 or instructor's approval. This course is designed to further expand and enhance the student's knowledge and skill in technical drafting and computer-aided design (CAD). This course focuses the student on drafting bearings, pulleys, brackets, and other mechanical parts.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Giesecke, Mitchell, Spencer, Hill, Dygdon, Novak (2000). Technical Drawing (11th Ed.). Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ.

MATERIALS:
1. Projector
2. Drafting library of reference material

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  1. Draw removed sections, revolved sections, aligned sections, and offset sectional views.
  2. Employ the use of conventional break lines.
  3. Draw secondary auxiliary views.
  4. Determine the different reference plane on an auxiliary view.
  5. Position the reference planes to an edge view, symmetrical view, or nonsymmetrical view.
  6. Demonstrate the use of auxiliary views to show true length of a line, pointview of a line, edge view of a line, and true size of a plane.
  7. Compare and contrast empirical design and scientific design.
  8. Demonstrate problem solving using new ideas.
  9. Draw an assembly and detailed view for the manufacturing of a design.
TOPICAL OUTLINE OF UNITS:
I. Sectional Views 1. Removed sections
2. Revolved sections
3. Aligned Sections A. The student will employ sectional views in drawing with hollow core design and internal part dimensioning.
II. Auxiliary Views 1. Inclined surfaces
2. Breaklines
3. Primary auxiliary views
4. Secondary auxiliary views A. The student will relate to objects that have inclined surfaces that does not show true size and shape in any regular view
B. The student will use conventional brake lines in drawing partial auxiliary views
C. The student will demonstrate the use of auxiliary views to show true length of a line, point view of a line, edge view of a line and true size of a plan.
III. Design and Working Drawings 1. Design Sources
2. Design concepts and Design process
3. Working drawings
4. Assembly Drawings A. The student will associate design sources, concepts, and design processes in developing working drawings
B. The student will draw working and assembly drawings to practice the use of assembly drawing, zoning, and parts list.
IV. Isometrics 1. Isometric Drawings A. The student will apply AutoCAD's isometric drawing capabilities using the swap and isoplane commands
B. The student will practice isometric drawings in class.
V. The Third Dimension 1. Elev. command
2. Vpoint and Hide Commands
3. Objects of different elevations and thicknesses A. The student will apply CAD's 3D modeling capability using the Elev, thickness, vpoints, and hide commands
B. The student will create simple 3D models and be able to view them from any point in space.
VI. X/Y/Z Point Filters 1. 3D face command
2. Invisible Options
3. Creating 3D lines
4. Vpoint Rotate option A. The student will apply AutoCAD's 3D X/Y/Z point filters using the 3D face commands
B. The student will draw inclined and oblique surfaces, wireframe cones, domes, and spheres in 3D.
METHOD OF INSTRUCTION:
Each student will be assigned problems in all units covered. As nearly as is possible, each problem will be related to an industrial situation requiring the student to exercise problem approaches and solutions.

METHOD OF EVALUATION:
Each student will be tested and evaluated during the course. The quality and quantity of work completed. Each student's final grade will be based on the development of their skill for the entire course.
