PRDE 1010 - Design Principles

Credit Hours: 4.00

Prerequisites: None

(formerly PRDE 1000)

No credit after PRDE 1000. This course is intended to provide students with a strong knowledge of theoretical design. Main topics that will be discussed are descriptive geometry, orthographic projection, assembly and detail drawings.

Contact Hours: 6
Billable Contact Hours: 6

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will use Descriptive Geometry techniques to develop views.

Objectives: Given a project drawing the learner will:

Project points within views, with a minimum of 90% accuracy.
Construct true length lines, with a minimum of 80% accuracy.
Construct true views of planes, with a minimum of 80% accuracy.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will develop views of objects using orthographic methods of projection.

Objectives: Given a project part the learner will:

Create principal views, with a minimum of 90% accuracy.
Create auxiliary views, with a minimum of 80% accuracy.
Create section views, with a minimum of 80% accuracy.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will apply dimensioning and information to engineering drawings.

Objectives: Given an assembly drawing the learner will:

Add revision columns, general notes, dimensioning, and appropriate notes with a minimum of 90% accuracy
Add revision columns, general notes, dimensioning, and, notes with a minimum of 90% accuracy
Apply geometric dimension and tolerances with a minimum of 90% accuracy.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will develop views of objects using perspective drawings.

Objectives: Given a project part the learner will:

Create principal views, with a minimum of 90% accuracy.
Create isometric views, with a minimum of 80% accuracy
Create section views, with a minimum of 80% accuracy.
