Course Description

Students will learn the fundamental concepts of visualization technologies applied for engineering purposes, through lectures, readings, laboratory, and discussions. They will learn to use appropriate graphic language to depict a new structure, machine, and system on a paper or on a computer screen to communicate with other members involved in the design or construction processes.

Topics will include the fundemental background in engineering graphics, such as 2D and 3D CAD system, multi-view projections, sectional views, design and construction drawings, perspective, structural drawing, topographic drawings, and welding representations.

Students will aslo master various computer tools in this class. They will learn to use Autodesk Autocad to render 2D and 3D drawings, Project 4D to illustrate construction processes, and 3D studio Max to generate detailed animations for construction purposes.
