Course Description
Standards and techniques are introduced for interpreting and communicating engineering designs and written/oral communication supporting those designs. Visualization skills are developed using 2-D drawings, orthographic multiview drawings, orthographic isometric drawings, and descriptive geometry. Engineering design, documentation, and presentation will be introduced and practiced through a final project.
