2. Course Description

EGR 110 Engineering Graphics(3 credits) Corequisites: ENG5 if required by individual student’s placement; MTH163. Presents theories and

principles of orthographic projection. Studies multiview, pictorial drawings and sketches, geometricconstruction, sectioning, lettering, tolerancing, dimensioning and auxiliary projections. Studies the analysis and

graphic presentation of space relationships of fundamental geometric elements; points, lines, planes, and solids.

Includes instruction in computer aided drafting. Lecture 2 hours + lab 2 hours, total 4 hours per week.

3. Introduction

This Engineering Graphics course is a basic course in technical drawing using Autodesk ® Inventor. Parametric

modeling will be the main vehicle for teaching the concepts of graphical representation. Freehand sketching

techniques will also be emphasized. The course content includes multi-view drawings and theories of projection, the use of Inventor commands, pictorial drawings and sketching, geometric construction, sectionalviews, dimensioning and tolerances, auxiliary views, assembly drawings, and general engineering methods of

illustration and graphic communication. A major group design project will emphasize the importance of

teamwork which is clearly a very important aspect of the engineering design process. During the course of thegroup design project, each group will be responsible for maintaining appropriate documentation related to the

management of project. Each group will be responsible for producing an animation assembly of their project

utilizing the Inventor software as part of their final report.

The learner must be able to prepare and/or supervise the preparation of assembly drawings and also assume

complete responsibility for all of the various parts fitting together properly. Hence, engineering graphics work

is ultimately one of the most important functions that engineering/design firms perform. Creativity is often oneof the most rewarding aspects of daily life, and computer-aided design as well as freehand sketching, both

clearly play a key role in capturing and illustrating the engineer’s ideas.

4. Objectives

a. Work as a team to develop a design concept/problem into a solid model with assembly and details ofthe necessary views to illustrate the design project.

b. Demonstrate specific skills, understandings, and professional attitudes needed by engineers.

c. Visualize and illustrate using Inventor 2013 sample parts and assemblies, which are typically

designed by engineers.

7.2 Research Skills: Participants should possess computer skills to do online research using a variety of

search engines; be familiar with your college’s library website and available methods of obtaining

articles and documents via Thomas Nelson’s library (http://www.tncc.edu/library) resource site.

7.3 Writing and Communication Skills: Participants should possess a firm command of written

communication skills, including the mechanics of writing and grammar, the ability to organize thoughts,and the ability to demonstrate those skills in all written work.

Observation of "Netiquette": All your online communications need to be composed with fairness,honesty and tact. Spelling and grammar are very important in an online course. What you put into an

online course reflects on your level of professionalism. Several netiquette guidelines are listed below

(Shoemaker-Galloway, J. (2007, August 6). Top 10 Netiquette Guidelines. Retrieved June 4, 2009,

from: http://internet.suite101.com/article.cfm/netiquette_guidelines)

o Use Computer Courtesy: Whether a person is sending an email, chatting in a chat room or

speaking in a forum, it is important to be courteous and respectful of others online. Always

remember the Golden Rule!

o Use Emoticons: When communicating online, it can be difficult to gauge a writer's emotion. Unless

a web camera or microphone is used, the writer's expression or emotion is difficult to determine. Byusing emoticons, the writer's proper emotion will be conveyed to the reader.

o Be Brief Online: It is important to keep messages short, especially when writing an email or typing

in a chat room. By using common chat abbreviations or acronyms, not only will the reader

appreciate the brevity of the message, it will save the author valuable time typing the message.Remember, keep it short and be brief except of course when posting required replies to discussion

board questions. The instructions for length in the discussion board are provided on the Blackboard

site. o DON’T SHOUT: No matter what forum, writing in all capital letters is considered SHOUTING

and is considered very rude. A word or two in caps is fine, but shouting is not recommended. o Pay Attention to Language Issues: Improper, inappropriate or bad language may get a participant

kicked out or permanently banned from a forum or group. It is also important to remember people

from other countries may be participating in the conversation and language barriers may be an issue.

This also is addressed in the student handbook as well. o Think Before Posting: It is important to note, what is posted online today, may come back and

haunt the writer tomorrow. That silly or fun photograph posted on a social networking site, may keep

that person from getting a job later on. Many colleges and employers are now searching social

networking sites prior to hiring.

o Keep Personal Information Private: Posting private and personal information in the wrong

location can have serious consequences. Identity theft is a rapidly growing concern. Divulging toomuch information could give predators and those with bad intentions valuable information. Be

careful where personal information is posted. If private information is posted in a group setting, read

the guidelines prior to posting. Children should not post private information online. o Obey Copyright Laws: Obey copyright laws. Don’t steal! This is also considering scholastic

dishonesty which will be addressed later in this document.

o Help Internet Newbies: Be patient and helpful with others. Remember, everyone was a newbie

once. o Be Aware of Cyberbullying: Cyberbullying is increasing rapidly. If targeted by a cyberbully, do

not respond. Keep all ORIGINAL correspondence, with dates and times if possible. If the messages

are of a threatening nature or safety is a concern, contact your instructor as soon as possible.

By following these simple and straightforward Netiquette guidelines, the online learning experience will

be enjoyable and safe for all!

7.4 Computer Literacy: Participants in this course must be proficient with the basic functions of the

Windows XP operating system especially with respect to saving files to the computer’s hard driveand/or thumb drive and retrieving these same files. The computer systems that are currently being used

do not have Windows VISTA installed, so it is not necessary to have an understanding of that system. If

you are unable to fulfill these requirements, another class delivery method is more appropriate for you.
