Topics Covered
1. Introduction: need for spatial representation and visualization.

2. Drawing projections: multiview orthographic, isometric, etc.
3. Three dimensional representations and model construction processes.
4. Graphic and written requirements for product realization
Course Outcomes:
Outcome 1: To train the student to be able to understand the major manufacturing

processes
1.1 Students will demonstrate the ability to identify, describe, and analyze the major
manufacturing processes, and their capabilities and limitations
1.2 Students will demonstrate knowledge of process capabilities of major
manufacturing processes
Outcome 2: To train the student to convert design requirements into selection constraints
and objectives
2.1 Students will demonstrate the ability to convert design requirements into constraints
and objectives for selection of manufacturing processes
Outcome 3: To train the student to select manufacturing processes based upon design
requirements and process analysis
3.1 Students will demonstrate the ability to select manufacturing processes under single
and multiple constraints based upon process analysis
3.2 Students will demonstrate the ability to select manufacturing processes under single
and multiple objectives based upon process analysis
3.3 Students will demonstrate the ability to make use of process capability information
to select and/or synthesize manufacturing processes and systems
Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Visualize objects and ideas;
2. Use and understand technical drawing terminology;
3. Interpret technical drawings
4. Establish and explain methods used for decision making;
5. Communicate ideas in a visual medium;
6. Sketch pictorials and various views of objects;
7. Create both orthographic and perspective drawings of objects and 3D CAD models;
8. Participate constructively in a team engineering activity;
9. Establish and maintain a well-organized, detailed notebook (physical or digital);
10. Develop skills to support lifelong learning
Course Outcomes
Outcome 1: Students gain familiarity with the elements of 3D visualization and good sketching
technique.
1.1 Students are able to prepare elementary sketches of 3D objects with correct
interpretation of 3D geometry and topology and comprehend a sketch.
Outcome 2: Students gain familiarity with the basic structure and content of engineering
drawings.
2.1 Students are able to sketch and use 2-D computer-aided design software to draw
multiview orthographic and other projections including isometric, auxiliary, and
sectional views, and are able to properly provide dimensions and tolerances and
common drawing notation to a drawing.
Outcome 3: Students get hands-on experience with solid modeling and visualization.
3.1 Students are able to generate 3-D parametric, feature-based solid models and
generate two dimensional views from these three dimensional solids.
3.2 Students are able to generate assembly models and use rendering techniques and
create simulations and animations of the moving parts of an assembly.
Outcome 4: Students are exposed to the visual, written, and team work requirements associated
with engineering product realization.
4.1 Students understand requirements for complete product specifications (e.g.,

drawings and technical specifications) and can read, understand, and interpret
drawings (e.g., assembly, articulation, quantity take-offs).
4.2 Students are able to work in a team project and understand the importance of
communication, scheduling, and attainment of project goals.
