Course Descriptions


 

Engineering Graphics Technology

  
  • EGT 101 - Mechanical Design I


    3 Credits

    Provides the training to develop skillsets on how to produce technical drawings utilizing the latest technologies. Course will develop skills in hand lettering/sketching techniques and the use of a Computer Aided Design (CAD) based drawing system. Course covers how to develop technical drawings demonstrating multi-view orthographic projections, auxiliary views, section views, and beginning dimensioning concepts based on ANSI/ASME standards.

    Corequisite(s): CAD 101  

  
  • EGT 102 - Mechanical Design II


    3 Credits

    Provides the training and skillsets on how to produce technical drawings that include hardware, threads, springs, and pattern developments. Develops skills on the application of dimensioning systems and the application of applying tolerances to produce baseline, ordinate, tabulated, chart, and rectangular coordinate dimensioning based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards.

    Prerequisite(s): EGT 101 , CAD 102  with a grade of “C” or better.

  
  • EGT 105 - Print Reading


    3 Credits

    Focuses on the interpretation of mechanical shop and working drawings. Examines drawing formats, view selection, hardware, symbols, dimensioning, and tolerancing systems utilizing the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard.

  
  • EGT 201 - Engineering Materials


    3 Credits

    Investigates the physical and mechanical properties of engineering materials used within industry. Includes the study of ferrous and nonferrous metals, polymers (plastics), ceramics, composites, and other advanced materials.

  
  • EGT 205 - Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing


    3 Credits

    Focuses on interpreting and applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GDT) in machining or drafting per the ASME Y14.5 specification. Demonstrate and distinguish GDT through math formulas, tolerancing systems, modifiers, symbols, datums, and tolerances of form, profile, orientation, run-out and location. Students examine and interpret the generation of a working drawing, and how they are developed as a team effort between design, drafting, manufacturing and quality control.

  
  • EGT 210 - Mechanical Design III


    3 Credits

    Provides the training and skillsets to produce industrial working drawings and working models based on ASME standards. Examines industry based design management models and the process of controlling drawing revisions. Design concepts for linkages, gears, bearings, belt drives, and chain drives will be covered. Examines part function and their relationships to develop detail, assembly, and subassembly drawings including a list of materials.

    Prerequisite(s): EGT 102  and CAD 202  OR CAD 240  OR CAD 255  with a grade of “C” or better

  
  • EGT 280 - Internship


    3 Credits

    Provides students with the opportunity to supplement coursework with practical work experience related to their educational program. Students work under the immediate supervision of experienced personnel at the business location and with the direct guidance of the instructor.
