This course provides instruction on modern graphics and modeling fundamentals for engineering design. Topics covered include freehand sketching, drafting techniques, geometric modeling, visualization methods, and computer-aided drafting and design. Students will engage in a team project utilizing 3D rapid prototype modeling. Textbooks required include "Graphics for Engineers" by J. H. Earle, and workbooks on engineering design graphics sketching. The course emphasizes attendance, conduct, and grading policies, with specified point systems and grading criteria. Additional information on course drop dates, lost items, and accommodations for students with disabilities is also provided.
