• EDD 101: Engineering Drawing 1

  3.00 Credits

  Community College of Allegheny County

  
  This is a course in basic drafting techniques used to produce engineering drawings. Conventional drafting and dimensioning practices as outlined by the National Occupational Skill Standards, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) will be used to produce orthographic drawings, pictorial drawings, auxiliary views and section drawings. Technical drawings will be completed using freehand sketching techniques, conventional drawing tools and CAD.
