EGR 11203 INTRODUCTION TO CAD (3)

This course introduces students to the principles and techniques of mechanical drawing and technical design. Emphasis is placed on the creation and interpretation of engineering drawings, including orthographic projections, dimensioning, tolerancing, and the use of drawing standards. Students will learn how to represent mechanical components, assemblies, and systems using 2D drawing techniques, and gain familiarity with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software for 3D modelling and the creation of digital drawings. Topics also include geometric construction, sectional views, and isometric drawing. The course provides the foundation for effective communication of mechanical design concepts and prepares students to create clear, accurate, and standardized technical drawings for manufacturing and assembly purposes.
