I. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
CT 102 Engineering Drawing and MicroStation CAD C-1, P-4, Cr-3
This course includes both basic technical drawing techniques and Microstation CAD to support engineering design. Topics include line types, dimensioning, scaling, auxiliary views, sectioning and notations. This course also introduces the use of MicroStation software. Topics include operational concepts; main palette use; projecting elements; entity construction and editing; entity manipulations; and text and dimensioning parameters.
II. MATERIALS:
Microstation V8i CAD software provided by MVCC in the computer laboratories. Text (optional) Harnessing MiroStation V8i, G.V. Krishman & James E. Taylor, Delmar Cengage Learning, ISBN-13: 978-1435499843 ISBN-10: 1435499840. On Demand Bentley E-Learning Account & MVCC Online Blackboard Account. Students will also be using Online MVCC Blackboard for assignment submittal. https://mvcc.blackboard.com/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp
III. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This course is designed to enable the student to prepare completely annotated detail drawings of civil engineering related drawings while applying basic engineering drawing techniques and using Microstation software.
IV. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Students will be able to read civil engineering drawings.
2. Students will be able to prepare completely annotated detail drawings of civil engineering plans from given example plan sheets, sketches, or other detailed drawings. (j)
3. The student will demonstrate the ability to draft use proper line weights and styles according to standards.
4. Students will demonstrate the ability to utilize file management.
5. Students will be able to effectively use the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the civil
engineering technology field using computer software to produce computer aided design and drafting (CAD) and. (a)
6. Students will demonstrate the ability to view orthographic projections and interpret multi-view and section view drawings and be able to draw an isometric view.
V. MAJOR TOPICS:
1. Setting up a MVCC Blackboard & Bentley account. Engineering drawings; reading plans, drawing set format,
index, estimate sheets, plan view, scaling, and sketches.
2. Creating CAD drawings; drawing files, precision inputs,
blocks, delete, view control, text, lines, circles, arcs, fillets, trim, creation of cell library, insertion of cells , fence, copy, mirror, rotate, chain, & dimensions
3. Complex geometric constructions, modify elements, detail
drawings, insert files, drawing templates, scaling to plot, inserting geo-referenced images & digitizing data. Referencing external files.
