Catalog Course Description:

 

 

 

Expands the knowledge and use of AutoCAD software commands with the continuation of training begun in CID. The course covers topics involving the creation and manipulation of orthographic and three-dimensional drawings, introduction of solid modeling, the concept of creation and management of symbol libraries, and rendering the models. The students will be able to use AutoCAD to enhance their performance in producing various drafting projects, create a three-dimensional model, and turn the model into a fully detailed set of working drawings. 

Entry Level Standards:

 

 

 

Must have college level English and math skills.

Prerequisite:

 

 

 

CID 1100; CID 1100 for CET majors

V. Evaluation:

 

 

 

A. Testing Procedures: 20% of grade

 

The purpose of this class is to provide more practice with complex drawings. Students will be evaluated on the correctness of assigned drawings, formal tests, and quizzes.

 

B. Laboratory Expectations: 30% of grade

 

Students will be evaluated on the correctness of assigned drawings, on-line tests, and quizzes.

 

C. Field Work: 50% of grade

 

Students will be assigned several sets of working drawings including 3-D solid model, rendering, and all necessary orthographic drawings required to sufficiently describe the part/parts for manufacture or construction.  These projects are practice for real world applications and in preparation for the final CIDD project class.

VI. Policies:

 

 

 

A. Attendance Policy:

 

Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities.  As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.

 

B. Academic Dishonesty:

 

Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course. NOTE:  It is expected and desirable that CID students assist other students. However, students may only submit work completed by themselves.

 

C. Accommodations for disabilities:

 

If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately. Please see the instructor privately after class or in his/her office.
