4-units-2hrs lec a wk, 6hrs lab a wk by arrangement.

Course Description: Computer graphics and design in precision manufacturing using applied geometry, math, layout, and tolerancing. Advanced design processes and documentation for the designer. Students may concurrently enroll in CGD110. An open entry/exit course.

Course Prerequisites: Eligible for English 250, English 430A, and Mathematics 233. Completion of CGD2 and CGD4.

Required Texts: The companion for Cadkey 97. Engineering graphics, communication Required.

Course Materials: 3.5" Diskettes, Zip 100 mb disks, 8.5" X 11" Sketch Pad.

Units: Advanced CAD Graphics, Advanced CAD Descriptive Geometry, Advanced CAD Plane Geometry, Tolerancing, (general/Ansi 14.5) Container design (fiber). Math for layout. Documentation control and file management, use and application of the Internet.

Expected student Outcomes: At the conclusion of this course the student will,

• Be able to apply the knowledge and skills learned in other CGD classes and the foundations in the drawing and manipulation of more complex objects.
• Have the basic knowledge on ANSI Y14.5-88 (theory) and be able to apply.
• Be able to layout and dimension basic corrugated board containers.
• Be able to use the Internet to obtain reference manuals and other technical data as needed for the specific project.
• Be able to apply and use the skills and knowledge learned in a more complex and advanced problem solving setting. (Application)
• Be able to do a summary report on a design problem with detailed accounting of each step, supporting graphics and data, and construct a project folio.
• Be able to create 2D, 3D wire armatures, solids and surfaces.
• Be able to render for geometric precision and presentation using various graphic software as needed (software provided in the CGD lab).

Class work and schedule of content: Student work is turned into the instructor upon completion for instructor evaluation. Lectures and class demonstrations are linked to the class progress and need. All student work is assembled into a student portfolio with documentation of projects and processes used. Save all work files on disk with selected files to have a hard copy print out.

Grading: Ability to apply drawing commands and and manipulate the work 80%. Student papers on industry & the digital world 10%. Classroom self management 10%. Extra work and/or special projects are accepted as part of a student's grade.

Tests: Tests are administered at the conclusion of each study area. Tests are performance, involving drawing on the computer.

Attendance: Students are expected to attend the assigned class times and arranged lab times. Failing to attend will result in incomplete projects and drawing practice times.

Class requirements for completion: Completion of assigned projects. Assembled portfolio of all class work. Participating in the drawing and written tests

Students requiring special services or arrangements because of hearing, visual, or other disability should contact their instructor, counselor or the Disabled Student Services Office. Occupational/Vocational students-Limited English language skills will not be a barrier to admittance to and participation in Vocational Education Programs.

Students are expected to exercise academic honesty and integrity. Violations such as cheating and plagiarism will result in disciplinary action which may include recommendation for dismissal.
