Course Description:
This course is designed to acquaint students with graphic solutions used in solving engineering
and drafting problems. Particular attention is given to orthographic projection. Methods of
visualization relating to auxiliary views, lines and planes, and points are explored in detail to
help prepare students for advanced drafting and computer-aided design (CAD). This course
utilizes SOLIDWORKS parametric design software to create parts, assemblies, and drawings.
3 credits; (2 lecture, 2 lab)
Prerequisites: DFT-107 Drafting I
Co-requisites: DFT-107 Drafting I
Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of meeting the requirements in this course, students
will be able to:
1. Implement drafting concepts and procedures of first and third angle projection.
2. Develop solid models for multiview projection.
3. Create three-dimensional (3D) solid models that capture design intent using
parametric modeling.
4. Modify parameters on the part at different stages while maintaining other
dimensions.
5. Construct assemblies and detailed drawings used to document 3D models,
which drive their parametric relationships using SOLIDWORKS modeling
tools.

Means of assessment:
Weekly graded modeling assignments, midterm and final exam.
