ENGINEERING GRAPHICS AND DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY

Catalog description

This course introduces the principles of graphic modeling and problem solving with the support of 3D computer-aided design. Students solve common math and engineering problems with the assistance of 3D CAD models. Typical assignments involve generating industry standard multiview projections, creating 3D mechanical, architectural, and civil engineering CAD models and surfaces, finding intersections and angles created by multiple lines and surfaces, constructing developments, and performing vector computations. The course also covers 3D point data management and topographical surface modeling and its uses in civil and mechanical applications.
