DT 110 Technical Drafting I
Prerequisite: DT101 Recommended
Offered: Fall
Description: Fundamentals of drafting including lettering, sketching, instruments, geometric constructions, orthographic projections, dimensioning, tolerancing, section views and auxiliary views. Drafting will be performed on the computer using AutoCAD software.
DT 111 Technical Drafting II
Prerequisite: DT101 & DT110
Offered: Spring
Description: Advanced drafting practices using customized AutoCAD software. Basic studies will include pictorial drafting, descriptive geometry, revolutions and software customization. Working/shop drawings in topography, developments, cabinet/millwork, structural steel, and welding will be performed. Emphasis is placed on increased productivity by customizing AutoCAD to the student’s requirements.
DT 114 Creo Parametric 3D
Prerequisite: None
Offered: Fall
Description: The Creo Parametric I class is a computer-aided design (CAD) software class for learning parametric feature-based solid modeling, assembly construction, technical drawing creation, and finite element analysis (FEA) and motion simulation. This class introduces students to the concept of parametric modeling, and how if differs from direct modeling while exploring and applying design intent and design elements. Lecture topics cover elements starting with basic core features of all parts, continuing with building simple assemblies of those parts, and culminating with creating both detail part and assembly production-ready drawings. Lab exercises reinforce these learned concepts, while incorporating industry best practices and standards.
DT 115 Creo II
Prerequisite: DT 114
Offered: Spring
Description: The Creo Parametric II class is a computer-aided design (CAD) software class for learning parametric feature-based solid modeling, assembly construction, technical drawing creation, and finite element analysis (FEA) and motion simulation. This class furthers the student’s understanding of parametric 3D design, and builds upon the concepts introduced in Creo Parametric I. Students will learn advanced modeling techniques to create more complex parts incorporating organic shapes not easily achieved with the basic core features. Advanced assemblies will now be constructed using joint connections between components, constituting a basic mechanism. The student will perform kinematic (motion) studies using these mechanized assemblies to analyze the feasibility of the design. Large assembly management techniques will be taught. Drawing and design concepts will continue to be developed, using more advanced methods. Lab exercises reinforce these learned concepts, while incorporating industry best practices and standards.
DT 117 Geometric Tolerancing & Dimensioning
Prerequisite: None
Offered: Fall & Spring
Description: An introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing ASME Y14.5-2009. Students will learn to identify, use appropriate geometric symbols and techniques of geometric dimension, and produce industrial quality drawings. Students will also learn to measure and verify geometric dimensions and tolerances of manufactured items.
DT 226 Printed Circuit Board Design I
Prerequisite: Student should have basic knowledge of MS Windows 10 Operating System (OS). This includes the ability to navigate files and directories, install software, locate and open software, and access the Internet through a web browser.
