10606104Engineering Technology Practices
Course Information
Description
Focuses on the creation of complete sets of engineering detail and assembly drawings including the accompanying engineering documentation, bill of materials and the application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standards. Emphasis is placed on product design analysis, the engineering change process, product data management and an introduction to stress analysis and rapid prototyping. Other areas of study: threaded fasteners, non-threaded fasteners, springs and gears.
