It also allows you to see how your knowledge and skills fit into the business world. (Prerequisite: The internship must be preapproved by the appropriate instructor. A minimum 25 credits completed from the Drafting and Design Technology program) (2 credits: 0 lecture/0 lab/2 OJT) MDAD1234 Special Drafting Problems This course is meant to allow the student to focus on drafting and design applications that interest them. These items can include functions that they have struggled with or items that are new, such as Architectural or Electronic design. The student will need to present the instructor with their plans for approval at the beginning of the course. (Prerequisites: MDAD1204, MDAD1252) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab) MDAD1236 Trigonometry & Statics During the first part of this course students learn trigonometry basics including right triangle trigonometry, law of sines, law of cosines, and polar coordinates. The second part of this course gives the students an understanding of static loads on structural members. (Prerequisite: MATH1515) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) 146 Course Descriptions MDAD1244 Design Projects Lab This course is a design class that will focus on the design process itself. The student will gain confidence in her or his ability to apply sound product design parameters based on design considerations. A holistic approach will be used to incorporate the many functions of a designer in a company. Many times this course is completed in a group format. The content goals of the course will change with the individual student design. The course will be taken in conjunction with Design Projects. (Prerequisites: MDAD1206, MDAD1208, MDAD1214, MDAD1218, MDAD1236) (5 credits: 0 lecture/5 lab) MDAD1250 Print Reading for CAD Design This is essentially a blueprint reading course that focuses on drafting essentials. Content will include 2d view projection, line types, dimensions, tolerances, sections, auxiliary views, and all the other basics required to understand a basic engineering drawing. This course lays the building blocks for the remainder of the Drafting and Design courses. Special Note: The student will be required to either scan and send in assignment sheets or send them through the mail to arrive on or prior to the posted due dates. (Prerequisite: none) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) MDAD1251 Manufacturing Processes for CAD Design This course covers manufacturing methods and materials. It includes plastics, steels, machining, casting, molding, material selections, etc. This course also covers material handling, JIT, inventory reductions, etc. Attention will be given to understanding the characteristics of manufacturing processes and systems. This will help the student in fitting into today’s and tomorrow’s manufacturing climate. (Prerequisite: none) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) MDAD1252 Working Drawings 1 for CAD Design This course will provide the student with a solid understanding of what is required of industrial technical drawings. This course covers assemblies, sectioning, machine parts, tolerancing, sheet metal developments, fasteners, and weldments. Special note: The student is required to purchase a student version of Solidworks, Inventor, or equivalent 3d software. (Prerequisites: MDAD1204 and MDAD1250, or MDAD1241 and MDAD1250, or MDAD1255 and MDAD1250.) Concurrent enrollment in MDAD1241 Solidworks is required if Solidworks has not been completed.) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab) MDAD1241 Solidworks This course covers the fundamentals of Solidworks parametric drawing and design. The student will use Solidworks to create 3D parametric models as well as use these models to create engineering drawings and documentation. (Prerequisite: none) (3 credits: 1 lecture/2 lab) MDAD1242 Design Projects This course is a design class that will focus on the design process itself. The student will gain confidence in her or his ability to apply sound product design parameters based on design considerations. A holistic approach will be used to incorporate the many functions of a designer in a company. Many times this course is completed in a group format. The content goals of the course will change with the individual students design. The course will be taken in conjunction with Design Project Lab.
