The Engineering Drafting and Design places an emphasis on learning to use both manual drafting tools, board drafting, and a suite of Autodesk software. This pathway incorporates real-world application of basic engineering skills and graphics. Students will build solid communication, comprehension, calculation, problem-solving, and technical skills. There are three courses in the pathway: Intro to Engineering Drafting and Design, Survey of Engineering Graphics, and 3D Modeling and Analysis .AutoCAD is used extensively in the course for both single view and multiview drawings, as well as Inventor. In the second course, Survey of Engineering Graphics, tolerancing principles are introduced and students learn how to draw section views, auxiliary views, isometric and perspective drawings, and patterns and development diagrams. Students in the second course also raise their skill in Autodesk Inventor. Students in the advanced course, 3-D Modeling & Analysis, continue learning about mechanical drawing, including working and assembly drawings as well as deepening their understanding and ability to use Inventor as they produce drawings and solve engineering type problems.
Introduction to Drafting and Design
1st Year:
Students learn drafting techniques through the study of geometric construction at which time they are introduced to computer-aided drafting and design. The standards are aligned with the national standards of the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA)
Course Content:
Careers in Engineering Graphics, Lab Safety, TSA, Measurement and Scales, Orthographic Projection, Pictorial Drawings, Isometric Views, Autocad, Drafting Tools and Techniques
Survey of Engineering Graphics
2nd Year:
The course is designed to build student skills and knowledge in the field of engineering graphics/technical drafting. The course focus includes employability skills, career opportunities, applied math, working drawings that include sectional, auxiliary, detail and pictorial views, and pattern developments. In addition, elements in applied mathematics are integrated throughout the course.
Course Content:
Advanced Autocad, Inventor, Tolerance, Projected Views, Flatpack Furniture, Drawbridges, Puzzle Cubes
3D Modeling and Analysis
3rd Year:
Reverse engineering strategies are recommended for third level working drawings. Computer-aided design (CAD) is recommended for use extensively with each standard in the course. Focus is on employability strategies, career studies, applied math, fasteners, working drawings, and assembly drawings. The final culmination is a presentation project that contains information mastered throughout the three courses.
Course Content:
Revit Tiny Houses, Character Animation, Prototyping, Structure Design, Fusion 360, 3D Scanning, Haptic Modeling
