ETGR 1103. Technical Drawing I. (2) This course deals with the fundamentals of technical drawing. Topics include drawing layouts, sketching, orthographic projections, views, lines, dimensioning techniques, and introduction to Computer Aided Drawing (CAD). Upon completion of the course, students should be able to understand, interpret, and produce basic technical drawings, as well as be familiar with the most common commands of modern computer aided drawing tools such as AutoCAD.One hour of Lecture and three hours of laboratory per week.
ETGR ETME 1104. Technical Drawing II. (2)Prerequisite: ETGR 1103. This course is a continuation of ETGR 1103, and introduces the student to advanced techniques of Computer Aided Drawing (CAD). Topics include three-dimensional wireframe, surface, and solid models, tolerancing methods, as well as rendering and generation of two-dimensional technical drawings from three-dimensional models. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to create, modify, and render three-dimensional models using modern computer aided drawing tools such as AutoCAD. One hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. (Spring)
ETME 2202. Introduction to Mechanical DesignParametric Modeling. (2) Prerequisites: ETGR 1104, ETGR 1201. This course introduces mechanical design techniques using computer based parametric modeling tools such as Autodesk Inventor. Topics include feature based solid modeling, design constraints, use of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD &T), assemblies, mechanisms, animations, and design documentation via technical drawings. Proficiency is demonstrated by an end-of-term design project. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to define solid models parametrically and generate the complementary engineering drawings. (Fall)
CMET 3224. Construction Project Administration. (3) Prerequisite: CMET 2680 Junior Standing or AAS degree. A study of the project management processes used in the design and construction of civil engineering projects. Topics include the roles and responsibilities of project participants, project delivery methods, engineering and construction contracts, project control and documentation, and dispute resolution mechanisms. (Fall)
ETCE 2112. Construction Surveying and Layout. (3) Prerequisites: CMET 1211 and ETCE 1104 ETGR 1103. Corequisite: ETCE 2112L. An intermediate surveying and site-planning course covering plane survey, design and layout of horizontal and verticalcurves, direction and traversing, design of site plant,control of grading, and global positioning system. Twohours of lecture per week. (Fall)
ETCE 2410. Introduction to Environmental Engineering Technology. (3) Prerequisites: MATH 1103 and ETGR 2101 with a grade of C or better. This course is designed to serve as an introduction to environmental engineering technology.
