  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    This variable-credit elective course emphasizes the student's independent search for advanced knowledge as well as additional hands-on skills beyond current ECAD course offerings. The student and instructor will devise a formal plan of study to satisfy credit workload requirements within the semester timeline. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1070 or ECAD 2050 or ECAD 2053 with grades of B or higher and instructor and dean consent.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course provides in-depth coverage of form, orientation, runout, profile, and location tolerances. Topics include analyzing production drawings, investigating inspection procedures, and calculating and specifying tolerances. In the lab portion of this course, students will investigate tooling, machining and inspection aspects of GDT and use CAD to apply symbols to drawings. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020 or instructor consent. Recommendation(s): ECAD 1070 and ability to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and calculate simple percentages with the use of a calculator.
  • 2.00 Credits

    Students will graphically solve problems dealing with true lengths, sizes, distances, angles and intersections of various points, lines and planes. Other topics include vectors, sheet metal development and detail drawings and bend allowance calculations. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1040; course placement into MATH 0070 or above, or completion of MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher. Recommendation(s): ECAD 2050 and MATH 1015.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course covers assembly, production and pictorial drawings. CAD models and drawings will be created based on various manufacturing processes such as casting, forging, molding, machining, and welding. Other topics include joining methods using threaded and non-threaded fasteners. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1040, ECAD 1060 and course placement into MATH 0070/MATH 1015 or above or completion of MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher. Recommendation(s): ECAD 2020 and ECAD 2050 or ECAD 2053 and MATH 1015.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Students will use Autodesk's Inventor software to sketch, create, edit, and dimension 3D solid models, as well as create 2D drawings from these models. Assembly modeling and 2D & 3D printing are also covered. These skills are necessary for job qualification in many areas such as mechanical design and engineering. The class uses a hands-on approach in order to build a foundation for continued training or self-instruction. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020 or ENGR 1020 or instructor consent. Recommendation(s): ECAD 1070 and course placement into MATH 0070/MATH 1015 or above or completion of MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Students will use SolidWorks software to sketch, create, edit, and dimension 3D solid models, as well as create 2D drawings from these models. Assembly modeling and 2D & 3D printing are also covered. A hands-on approach is used in this class in an effort to build a foundation for continued training and self-instruction. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020 or ENGR 1020 or instructor consent. Recommendation(s): ECAD 1070 and course placement into MATH 0070/MATH 1015 or above or completion of MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Students will use CREO Elements/Pro (formerly Pro/Engineer-Wildfire) software by Parametric Technology Corporation. Activities include sketching, creating, editing, and dimensioning of 3D solid models. From these models, students will create 2D drawings and make assemblies. 2D & 3D printing are also covered. The class uses a hands-on approach in order to build a foundation for continued training or self-instruction. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020 or ENGR 1020 or instructor consent. Recommendation(s): ECAD 2050 or ECAD 2053 and course placement into MATH 0070/MATH 1015 or above or completion of MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course introduces students to the many devices that transmit power from one component to another. Topics covered include calculating dimensions, loads, and stresses. Sizes of gears, cams, bearings, seals, clutches, belt and chain drives are also determined to create detail and assembly drawings. Job seeking and keeping skills will also be discussed. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 2040, MATH 1015, and PHYS 1020 or instructor consent. Recommendation(s): ECAD 2020 and ECAD 2050 or ECAD 2053.
