Course Description
This
course is a broad introduction to mechanical design using Computer-Aided Design
(CAD) tools and freehand sketching fundamentals. Emphasis is placed on a thorough
understanding of projection principles and the visualization of exact space
conditions relevant to 3D modeling. The
concept of 3D problem solving techniques using CAD is stressed. There are no prerequisites for this course.
Procedures and
Requirements
The
course consists of homework assignments, quizzes, and course supplements, with
new subject areas covered through reading assignments and other complementary electronic
media. Each module is followed by (at
least one) drawing/HW assignment(s) using the theory and principles of the
subject areas. Quizzes are contained
within most of the learning modules.
Each quiz relies heavily upon on the text book reading assignment, the
student’s proficiency on homework assignments and any corresponding content
pertaining to its respective learning module. This course focuses significantly
on the student’s drawing technique, application of concepts and proficiency in
Solidworks as well as the fundamentals of engineering graphics. Because a large
part of this course is hands on and visual in nature, the student is encouraged
to embrace to textbook readings and other visual tools provided.
Students
are required to visit the course site regularly. Open lab sessions scheduled throughout the
week are also available for the student to complete CAD assignments. These open labs are monitored and are
available on a "first come, first served basis. Students may use the graphics labs only to
work on specific CAD assignments from the MET department.
Maintaining
steady progress in the completion of the learning modules as well as the timely
completion assignments and assessments is expected and required throughout the
course. As with any online course, students must exercise a high degree of
organization, discipline and motivation as they progress through the term.
Assignments and assessment have set due/close dates. Assignments submitted after
the due date will be assessed a 15% penalty. It is the responsibility of the student to confirm that any submitted
deliverable has indeed been posted in the appropriate drop box. Students
should plan ahead to ensure these objectives are achieved. Any student needing additional help should
make an appointment with his/her professor.
Also, there are ample open lab sessions available for the student to
complete assigned work.
ADA/504 Compliance
Students with disabilities
who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to
contact the ATTIC counselor working with disabilities at (678) 915-7361 as soon
as possible to better ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a
timely fashion

Assignments
Assignment shall include but
not be limited to drawings and/or HW. All assignments are to be submitted
through their respective assignment drop box in WebCT and on the announced due
date. Any drawing/HW assignment turned in after the due date will be
considered late and will lose 15% of the total possible points for the
assignment. Assignments can be submitted up to
Quizzes
Quizzes are contained within
most of the learning modules. Each quiz
is based on the reading assignment and any corresponding content pertaining to
its respective learning module. The student’s knowledge and understanding of
the material presented in the reading assignments, homework and chapter reviews
is essential to ensure successful performance on the quizzes. The time limit on
each quiz is unlimited. Quizzes are open for a window of several days. Quiz
opening/due dates coincide with the opening/closing of their respective module.
Modules will remain available beyond their closing date to allow the student to
review for midterm/final assessments. Once a quiz is closed it cannot be
made up.
Exams
A mid-term exam (or project)
will be given. Also, a final exam or
final project will be assigned. Each
exam will be comprehensive and will cover material from previous modules. Exams (projects) can only be made up with a
legitimate excuse and at the professor’s discretion. A grade of zero will be assigned to any
missed exam (project).
Student Conduct
Academic dishonesty and
non-academic misconduct, in any form, is not tolerated in the classroom. This includes, but is not limited to,
cheating, plagiarism, and disorderly conduct.
Please refer to sections in the 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog on A Disruptive Behavior and Academic Dishonesty@.
