St. Clair County Community College 2004-2005 Catalog
DRAFTING AND DESIGN
Industrial Technology Department 810-989-5754
DR 114 Blueprint Fundamentals. This is a course which is designed to help the student develop the basic skills required for industry print interpretation. A step-by-step approach is used to understand the "blueprint language" used in industry.
Prerequisite: None
2 credits, plus .5 contact hour* = (2 lecture, .5 laboratory)
DR 115 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. This course is designed to develop technical knowledge and skills which will enable the student to prepare and interpret engineering drawings using the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing System in accordance with the current ANSI Standards.
Prerequisite: DR 114 or DR 160, or equivalent
2 credits, plus .5 contact hour* = (2 lecture, .5 laboratory)
GA
DR 150 Drafting and Design Technology. A feature of this course is the six weeks or more work experience in industry in the program of study that the student is enrolled. This on-the-job experience will be developed by the employer in conjunction with a coordinator designated by the college. There will be a written training program developed which is agreed upon by the student, employer and the college. Special requirements may be necessary.
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
1 to 6 credits (80 hours work experience = 1 credit)
DR 160 Fundamentals of Drafting. This course offers an introduction to the use and care of instruments, along with drill in geometric construction; practice in lettering, reading and checking of drawings; principles of orthographic projection; practice in the making of working drawings, and drafting room practice in conventional representation. A brief introduction to oblique and isometric projection is also made.
Prerequisite: None
4 credits, plus 2 contact hours* = (3 lecture, 3 laboratory)
DR 161 Descriptive Geometry. Solutions to geometric problems by drawing board methods are studied. Topics include distance problems, angle problems, problems of intersection of lines and surfaces, area problems and development of surfaces.
Prerequisite: DR 160
4 credits, plus 2 contact hours* = (3 lecture, 3 laboratory)
DR 162 Advanced Drafting with AutoCad. This course will provide students with an overview of applications as they apply to the fields of engineering drafting and design. The students will learn and apply computer-aided design techniques and principles to create drawings and will learn the software capability of the system by generating, moving, and editing the basic geometric elements. Students will become familiar with system hardware such as CRT, keyboard, menu, etc. In addition to formal classroom lecture and demonstrations, students will use equipment such as a CAD system and other related hardware to complete a series of assignments.
Prerequisite: DR 160 or AD 170
4 credits, plus 2 contact hours = (2 lecture, 4 laboratory)
CL
DR 163 Solidworks _ Product Design & Development. This course provides an introduction to the process of developing solid models using a solid modeling program. Techniques for planning, developing, organizing, and maintaining CAD files related to solid modeling will be addressed. Through lecture and hands-on exercises, students will explore the concepts and usage of explicit modeling, parametric modeling, and feature-based modeling by using all of these tools integrated within SolidWorks.
Prerequisite: DR 160
3 credits, plus 1 contact hour = (2 lecture, 2 laboratory)
DR 266 Jig/Fixture Design. The principles of tooling design for productive machining operations are the main focus of this course. Comparative analysis of standards and commercial work-holding devices for such operations as drilling, milling, turning and grinding (cams, links, motion and gear) are also designed along kinematic outlines. From shop sketches actual layouts are formulated and assembled. From the design drawing, working drawings are then produced following all present day drafting specifications, with emphasis on standard component parts and supply catalog. Winter Semester only
Prerequisite: DR 162
3 credits, plus 3 contact hours* = (2 lecture, 4 laboratory)
DR 267 Tool/Die Design. Principle concepts of material flow and properties along with fundamental die design pertaining to forming, cutting, drawing and piercing operations performed on standard industrial presses are reviewed. From actual part prints, actual die designs are formulated, working drawings are made, machine mechanisms are reviewed, and reproduction is made. All practices geared to those used in modern drafting room today. Fall Semester only
Prerequisite: DR 161 or permission of instructor
3 credits, plus 3 contact hours* = (2 lecture, 4 laboratory)
DR 270 Introduction to Solid Modeling. This course provides an introduction to the process of developing solid models using a hybrid solid modeler. Techniques for planning, developing, organizing and maintaining CAD files related to solid modeling will be addressed. Through lecture and hands-on exercises, students will explore the concepts and usage of explicit modeling, parametric modeling, and feature-based modeling by using all of these tools integrated within the Unigraphics Hybrid Modeler.
Prerequisite: DR 162 or previous industry experience related to CAD
2 credits = (4 lecture/laboratory)
