EG 110 - Industrial Graphics with CAD

Description
In this course, students learn to interpret and create industrial drawings. Students use AutoCAD to create single and multiview drawings using proper view position, auxiliary views, and section views. Students are introduced to: dimensioning, tolerances, threads and fasteners, as well as basic functions in CAD necessary to manage files.
