Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental working knowledge of
the microcomputer based CAD environment using AutoCAD software on IBM compatible
computers. AutoCAD is a command driven program and the first course, GE
211, deals with standard 2D drafting conventions - while the advanced course, GE
212, is almost entirely 3D. You will learn how to manipulate the software to
create new drawings, edit existing drawings, save your drawings properly,
and learn how to print or plot your drawings. You should also hopefully enhance
your computer literacy. The course will be taught with an emphasis on current
mechanical drafting conventions and applications; but the skills developed will
be transferable to other drafting disciplines, as well as other CAD software
packages. Students should expect to spend 2 to 4 hours per week in the lab in
addition to their regularly scheduled class time. Open lab hours will be posted
in the lab. There are no prerequisites for this class – but a knowledge of
Drafting would be helpful.The purpose of this course is to provide a fundamental working knowledge of

Required Materials;
Textbook: AutoCAD and its Applications, by Shumaker - for reference.
Floppy Diskettes: Two 3.5 in, 1.44 MB disks. ( I normally supply these!)
Grading Policy:

COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING
For GE 211 and GE 212
COURSE NOTEBOOK REQUIREMENTS
 One
of the requirements of this course is for each student to submit a professional
quality notebook of all semester assignments (Plots, Printouts, etc.). The
notebook will be submitted to the instructor at midterm and at the last lab
session of the semester (prior to the final exam). The gradeyou receive for the
notebook will depend on its completeness and thoughtful organization. Each
assignment should be as perfect as possible; therefore it is advisable to make
corrections and update your work as soon as your marked up work is returned to
you.
Please organize your notebook as follows:
1. Assemble the notebook in a good quality, clean3-ring
binder.
2. Divide your notebook into the following three sections;
a. Assignments - corrected and
marked-up assignments
in their
proper order!
b. Handouts
c. Notes
3. Include a typed or plotted cover sheet.
This cover sheet should include your name, date, course
title, school, and instructors name.
