Announcements

8 Dec: After some discussion with some students in our class, I have decided that the Final Exam will be "open book". I think this will relieve some stress for all of you. During the Final Exam, you will be free to use the course textbook and any written notes you may have. You cannot use other books, or materials copied from other sources.

Please remember to include your peer evaluations when you submit your project drawings on Monday. Everyone must submit an evaluation of his/her teammates. Use a single sheet of paper. List the names of your teammates, not including yourself. Next to each name, write a numerical score from 1 to 20. If you wish, you may also write a line or two to justify your score. Grade on participation, not quality of work. A person who has participated fully in the project should receive a score of 20. If everyone on the team was fully engaged in the project, everyone earns a score of 20. A person who has hardly participated should earn a score of 1. If a person has not participated at all in the project, let me know, and I will give that person a score of zero for the entire project. Put your evaluation in a sealed envelope, and submit it with your team's drawings. Your teammates will not see your evaluations.

4 Dec: The Final Exam will be Wednesday, 13 December, 8:00 - 11:00 AM, room 155 Dwinelle Hall. There will be a Review Session on Monday, 11 December, 6:00 - 8:00 PM, location TBA.

Nov. 26: Final project presentations and demonstrations will be held during Lab on 6, 7, and 8 December. On these days, come to Lab at 3:00 PM on the day of your presentation, and stay for the entire period. You will need to vote on the projects at the end of the period. Please sign up for a 15 minute presentation slot. Sign-up sheets are posted on the inside of the south door of room 2105 Etcheverry Hall. Project drawings will be due at 6:00 PM on Monday, 11 December.

24 Oct: The second Midterm Exam will be held on Friday, 3 November, 7:00 - 9:00 PM, room 1 Pimentel Hall. A review session will be held on Wednesday, 1 November, 7:00 - 9:00 PM, room 100 Genetics and Plant Biology (GPB).

10 Oct: Laboratory attendance this week is mandatory. Please go to the laboratory section that you normally attend. We will be organizing project teams. If you do not attend lab, you may not be assigned to a team.

2 Oct: All requests for review of scoring on the midterm exam must be submitted in writing by 3:00 PM on Monday, 9 October. The GSI's will explain the scoring scheme during Lab this week. If you would like your midterm score reviewed, please write the reason for your request (100 words or less) on a separate sheet of paper, attach it to your exam, and submit both to the E28 HW box on the 3rd floor of Etcheverry Hall. The instructors will review all such requests Monday evening. After 9 Oct., all midterm grades will stand.

19 Sep: Midterm Exam will be next Friday, 29 Sep, 7 - 8 PM, room 120 Latimer Hall.

There will be a short tour of the Etcheverry Hall Machine Shop this week during lab. You must wear closed-toe shoes. Please bring your safety glasses, if you have them.

Please staple your HW pages together, or you will start to lose credit.

13 Sep: Due to the failure of the A/V equipment in the lecture room this morning, today's lecture material will be presented during the first hour of each lab session this week. There will be no need for an evening make-up lecture.


Description

Introduction to engineering design graphics.  Review of basic fabrication processes.  3-dimensional visualization and spatial reasoning.  Engineering sketching.  The fundamentals of orthographic projection, with applications. Parametric and feature-based solid modeling.  Land contours, profiles, cut-and-fills.  Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.  Drawing conventions and presentation of 3-dimensional geometry on 2-dimensional media.   This course will introduce and emphasize the use of CAD on the computer workstation as the major graphical analysis and design tool.  A design project is required.  3 units.

Class Details

 

Textbooks:

Lieu, D.K., and Sorby, S.A., Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design, Preliminary Edition, Thomson/Delmar Publishers, 2006
Required

Planchard, M.P., Planchard, D.C., Engineering Design with Solidworks, SDC Publications, latest edition.
Recommended

A variety of good manuals on AutoCAD and Solidworks are available from the many bookstores around campus, and may be used as reference material for those with little or no CAD experience.

Organization:

15 weeks of lecture.  Open laboratories.  Weekly homework assignments.  One group design project.  The midterm examinations are scheduled for the evening (7:00 – 8:00 PM) of Friday, 29 September, and the evening (7:00 – 9:00 PM) of Friday, 3 November.  The Final Exam (Exam Group 4) will be held on Wednesday, 13 December, 8:00 – 11:00 AM.  Availability for lectures, laboratories, and all examinations is required for enrollment in the class.

Homework will be assigned in lecture on Wednesdays and will be due on Wednesdays the following week.  Completed homework sets are to be submitted before 3:00 PM in the labeled boxes located on the south wall of the 3rd floor of Etcheverry Hall.  Graded homework sets will be returned at the same location.  Late homework will be marked off by 50%, and will not be accepted one week beyond the due date.

Laboratory:

The first week of class, you must attend the laboratory originally assigned to you.  You may forfeit your enrollment in the class if you are absent from both the laboratory and the lecture during the first week of class.  After your enrollment is confirmed, attendance in laboratory sections is optional.  You may also attend any lab section you wish, depending on machine availability.  Students who are officially enrolled for a particular section have priority for machine use during that section's time.  There will be dates when you will be required to attend the laboratory section in which you are officially enrolled (e.g. for enrollment check and project group organization).  The purpose of the laboratory sections is to provide a forum where students can receive assistance with lecture and homework material from the instructors and other students.  At the beginning of each lab session, the GSI's will usually present a short review of the week's lecture material, and provide useful hints for CAD work.  Although laboratory attendance is not required, it is highly recommended.

The building is locked at 5:00 PM and on weekends; however, students enrolled in the class can access the building with their student ID card key.  The laboratories are locked at all times, and are accessible only with a student ID.  Activation forms will be available from Ms. Sherrell Gordon in room 5102 Etcheverry Hall.  There is a fee of $10, payable only by check to the Regents of the University of California, for activation of ID’s.

The CAD workstations in rooms 2105 and 2107 Etcheverry Hall are provided for student use in this, and other, courses, except when a class is in session.  The 30 student stations in each laboratory (60 stations total) are networked to a printer and a fileserver, where personal files (up to 100 Mb) may be stored.  Each student should have a USB drive for file transfer and back-up. Most homework assignments will require the use of a computer.  It is recommended that students use their own computers and software for doing their homework and project outside the laboratory.  The software used for this course is AutoCAD and Solidworks . 

If problems are encountered with a machine, place a note under the keyboard describing the problem, and move to another machine; otherwise the instructors have no way of knowing that a machine is down.  Keep the room secure; do not allow unauthorized access.  Please notify the instructors or campus security of any suspicious persons or events in, or near, the Labs.  Theft of computer equipment and personal property has been a problem.
