Engr 103, Computer Aided Drafting and Engineering Graphics (3 credits)

Department of Physics and Engineering

Fort Lewis College


 

Course Objectives: To develop the ability to effectively communicate design ideas and technical information. To achieve this the course will provide students with an introduction to engineering technical graphics and its relationship to the design process.  Three dimensional visualization and CAD modeling is emphasized.  Proficiency with industry standard CAD software is stressed. The ability to read and create technical drawings are valuable skills covered in this course.

Homework Assignment Instructions

 

Prepare for drawing exam 1:

Ex. 1  (print scale 1:1) Draw the 2D object in the units specified, draw a rectangular border and print in either landscape or portrait mode (choose the most appropriate).  Be sure your name, section number, drawing title, units, and scale are included in the title block. 

On the handout provided, sketch the front, top, and right views of the objects shown.  Please note the specified front view – the top and right view should be determined based on this orientation.

Prepare for drawing exam 2:

Ex 2, Ex 4, Ex 5, and Ex 6. Reproduce the drawings.  Create a separate layer for the centerlines.  Create a layer for your title block (must include your name, section number, drawing title, units, and scale) and print from layout space. Use the following print scales: Ex2 1:1, Ex4 1:1, Ex5 1:1, Ex6 1:2.

 

Prepare for drawing exam 3:

a) Ex 7 and Ex 12.  Draw the front, top and right view of each the 3D model, add dimensions using appropriate dimensioning techniques, print with an appropriate border in layout space. Use a print scale of 1:1 for both drawings. NOTE: Ex 7 all fillets and rounds are 0.25 inches.

b) Measure and draw an object. The Master padlock shown here can be found cabled to the box where you turn in your homework in the back of the computer lab BH570. With a ruler, make the necessary measurements, in millimeters, to accurately draw the object. Estimate to the nearest ½ millimeter. Orient the padlock so that the side with the word Master on it is the front view.  Create a cabinet oblique sketch of the object and fully dimension the sketch as needed to create a CAD drawing from the sketch. Create a CAD drawing of the three primary orthographic projections.  Add dimensions using appropriate dimensioning techniques, print with an appropriate border in layout space. Use a scale of 3:1. Turn in both the sketch and a printed copy of the CAD drawing in your homework folders.

Prepare for drawing exam 4:

Ex 4, Ex A, Ex C, Ex D. Draw each object as a 3D wireframe model. Use one grid interval equals 1 inch when dimensions are not given. View the object in SE isometric and edit the wireframe so that the object appears as a 3D model with hidden lines removed.  Print the SE isometric view with an appropriate border in layout space. Complete cabinet oblique sketches of Ex 4a, Ex A, and Ex C.

 

Prepare for drawing exam 5:

Ex 13, Ex 14, and Ex 15. Draw the objects as 3D solid models (using solid modeling techniques, not wireframe drawing).  Print the SE isometric view (Visual style = 3D hidden) with an appropriate border in layout space. Complete a cabinet oblique sketch of Exercise 13.

 

Prepare for drawing exam 6:

Ex 16. Draw the object as a 3D solid model. Create the front and top orthographic view and one full section view of your choice. Choose the best orthographic view as the front. Your final drawing should include the two orthographic views, one section view, and the 3D isometric.  Dimension the orthographic projections.

 

 

3D-Ch 11, (Ex 1) Create a full set of working drawings (detail and assembled) – Printed drawings should include orthographic views (think best and necessary) of each of the component parts - one view should be a section view, with the necessary dimensions.  Display the assembled 3D object as a SW isometric view with hidden lines removed.
