Detailing-Assembly-Fixture Design

Catalog description

Concentrating on the appropriate documentation of the engineering design intent, this course introduces the technician to the concepts, skills and tools for developing formal, precisely constructed detail, assembly, fixture and tooling drawings. Knowledge and application of graphical principles for the creation of mechanical drawings is demonstrated through freehand sketching as well as the use of a computer-aided drafting/design system. The importance of standards, documentation and the appropriate use of technical graphics to compliment the communication process will be stressed.
