Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Apply the appropriate ANSI or ISO standards to a given detail drawing.

2. Apply the following types of dimension syles to a mechanical drawing: ordinate, baseline, dual, tabular.

3. Tolerance drawings using general tolerances, local tolerances, limits, bilateral and unilateral tolerances.

4. Given surface finish constraints, use appropriate symbology to designate those surface finishes on the drawing.

5. Using the charts of running fits and clearances, properly apply the dimensions and tolerances on each mating component.

6. Understand and apply GDT dimensions, tolerances, material conditions and datum’s to a drawing.

7. Create the following section views: full, half, broken-out, offset, revolved, and removed.

8. Properly apply common fasteners and specifications to an assembly drawing.

9. Create a complete set of working drawings including: assembly drawing, BOM, detail sheets, engineering change orders.
