This course will address aspects of freeform modeling and HVAC applications.
In this course the student will model, using a current version of Unigraphics, industrial projects giving careful consideration to their interrelated features. The student will use both sketches and Boolean operations to complete their models. The importance of parametric controls within and between part files will be stressed.
Practical geometry and trigonometry as a continuation of Technical Calculations I. The scope of this course includes solutions of geometric shapes and solids, right and oblique transfers using industrially related situations. Successful completion of this course requires a grade of "C" or better.
Develop and complete industrial assembly drawings and detail drawings for assemblies, using appropriate dimensioning and ANSI tolerances, complete bill of materials including threads and fastener information and identification. Course will involve, also, aspects of tolerance stack up their calculations. Addresses the family of drawings and assembly.
Develop and complete industrial weldment drawings using various welding processes and types of joints used to draw weldment assemblies using related symbols, appropriate materials and dimensioning practices. This will include raw stock materials, piping and structural members. Converting castings to fabrication parts will also be addressed. Successful completion of this course requires a grade of 70% or better on a comprehensive II exam.
The application of basic methods, symbols and conventions to prepare working drawings for the construction of residential buildings. This course is designed to permit the drafting student to develop, design and create drawings typical to the residential industry. These drawings will allow the student to demonstrate their understanding and design capabilities applied to residential structures. Each student will perform appropriate calculations and prepare all drawings applicable to modern residential construction.
Correctly specify geometric form controls and positional tolerances to engineering drawings with the use of ANSI geometric symbols.
Preparation of mechanical design layouts, details and assembly drawings, using mechanisms such as linkages, pneumatics, hydraulics, gear trains, belt and chain drives and control systems. Application of geometric dimensioning and tolerances to appropriate detail drawings. This is a five (5) week course.
In this course students will prepare layouts of single and double line drawings for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and will also study and apply mathematic calculations as they pertain to their assignments. The use of vendor catalogs and live components are used in the preparation of the above-mentioned drawings. The student will also prepare a sequence of operations explaining how each schematic operates.
The student will model, using a current version of 3D parametric software, industrially correct projects giving careful consideration to their interrelated features. The student will use both sketches and Boolean operations to accomplish their models. The importance of parametric controls within and between part files will be stressed.
This course will address advanced layout techniques and practices that are typical in the design industry. Students will be presented with design concepts and will use problem solving techniques to accomplish tasks. The course includes the study of power transfer systems such as couplings, chain and sprocket drives, and the use of motors and bearings. Instruction in the application of clutches, and their uses in machine design, will also be stressed.
This course shall be considered a capstone project for the authentic assessment of the curriculum. The student shall select a project that shall challenge the student and demonstrate various abilities and skills acquired in their previous classes. This project shall include an oral presentation along with a written report and a demonstration of their chosen project. This demonstration may include all associated drawings, a finished part of their design, and an electronic "slide show". This course is designed as a research/lab course to design/improve a consumer product. Instructor shall supply minimal guidance in the development of this project.
This course will facilitate the concepts and principals employed by drafters in the Industrial Process Piping industry. Using practical laboratory application with topics including flow diagrams, orthographic and isometric spool drawings, plan & elevation piping arrangements, selection of valves, pipe racks and supports. Students will generate a variety of accurate CAD piping assignments similar to the ones currently used in industry today.
In this course students will master isometric exploded view technical illustration, including such topics as applications, pictorial selections, and illustration techniques. In addition students will learn about basic printing process, scaling artwork for press runs and coordinating with printing firms. The student will also supply complete assembly instructions (sequence of operations) explaining how this job is put together and functions.
This course will include the necessary theory and laboratory application in the design of chemical processing plant layout. Calling upon skills developed in prerequisite coursework, in addition to Industrial Process Piping Plant Layout standards, students will create an actual CAD model of a plant that they have designed for a comprehensive understanding of piping plant design.
Through the use of standard industrial codes and formulas to write computer programs that will enable CNC machining centers and CNC turning centers to produce parts, within quality standards. To be able to write these CNC programs both from scratch and with the use of commercially available CNC programming software.
By arrangement with advisor. Directed study is to provide an opportunity for the student to continue study in a subject area of special interest or special concern, related directly to an actual job opportunity within the drafting curriculum.
