3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to "personal digital fabrication" using the Century College Fab Lab modeled after the Fab Lab at MIT. It is designed for "garage inventors", entrepreneurs, artists, or individuals with new business ideas needing to create prototypes. Students will use laser cutters, 3-D printers, vinyl cutters, ShopBot CNC routers, and desktop milling machines to fabricate and test their design projects. The Lab is designed to allow students to explore their interests in a variety of fields including graphic design, art, business, computer-assisted design (CAD), physical and natural science, mathematics, and engineering. Recommendation(s): ECAD 1070 or ECAD 2053; ability to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and calculate simple percentages with the use of a calculator.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course students will use CAD software to create various geometric constructions, multiview drawings, 1st & 3rd angle projections, and simple dimensioning. Detail drawings will be created that incorporate auxiliary and section views, tolerancing, and finishes. Other topics include an overview of the drafting profession, drafting office practices, revisions, and standard parts. Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020 and ECAD 1070; Math placement into MATH 0070 or above OR completion MATH 0030 with a grade of C or higher.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a survey course of the manufacturing processes, materials and properties as pertaining to drafting and design. Materials processes such as casting, forging, machining, welding, forming and molding and how they affect a design or drawing will be explored. Students will be exposed to these processes and how the results of these processes affect drawings through fieldtrips, demonstrations and videos. Recommendation(s): Ability to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and calculate simple percentages with the use of a calculator.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the fundamental concepts, tools, and commands of AutoCAD software. AutoCAD skills that will be practiced include drawing, editing, annotating, and plotting of two-dimensional (2D) drawings. Students are encouraged to bring drawing projects from their major, industry, or hobby as a possible final project.
-
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.
