Course ListingsFall 2012Engineering-IntroductoryEN 0002ENGINEERING GRAPHICS/CADIntroduction to the key elements of engineering graphics via sketchingand CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Emphasis is given to graphicalconcepts and tools which aid engineers to visualize, communicate, anddocument engineered products and constructed systems. Topicsinclude sketching for engineers (orthographic and axonometricprojections), engineering drawing conventions, basic dimensioningstandards, two-dimensional geometry construction with CAD, solidmodeling, paper vs. model space, and the rendering of solid models.Sections01542 EN 0002CE1 H+T Minardi, Lee R 0.5 Also RegisterFor MandatoryLab01543 EN 0002LA E+W Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201544 EN 0002LB G+W Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201545 EN 0002LC I+W Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201546 EN 0002LD K+W Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201547 EN 0002LE D+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201548 EN 0002LF F+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201549 EN 0002LG H+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201550 EN 0002LH J+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201551 EN 0002LI L+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201552 EN 0002LJ N+R Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201553 EN 0002LK E+F Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 201554 EN 0002LL F+F Minardi, Lee R 0.0 Must RegisterFor En 2EN 0015USABILITY ENGINEERINGIntroduction to user requirements collection, task analysis, interactiondesign, graphical/information design, prototyping, usability testing andfield validation.
