COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Engineers and scientest use drawings to communicate technical information without ambiguity
to executives, fabricators, customers, and each other. As with most things drawing has a well-
defined set of standards by which technical drawings are produced. This course introduces the
language of engineering drawing using computer aided design (CAD) software. While AutoCAD
is important topic within this course, this course teaches more than just how to use CAD software.
It teaches projections, dimensions, and other foundations of engineering drawing through
sketching, a critical skill for engineers. The course also gives the opportunity to apply this new
knowledge to creative engineering design projects.
