This course was a general introduction to design and drafting that used mechanical and computer techniques. The design of a product from idea to final working drawings serves as the focus of this class. The goal of this course is to develop foundational understanding and skills in mechanical drafting. Students experiences include both manual- board and T-square- and computer aided drafting (ProDESKTOP). Basic drafting, including orthographic views, dimensioning, sections, auxiliary views and intersections and development drawings were some of the major topics covered.
