| Abstract | Introduction I teach a course in Mechanical Engineering Technology called Production Drawing. It is offered in the spring semester during the students' sophomore year. At this level the students have taken two courses in AutoCAD and are proficient in the use of CAD. In Production Drawing, AutoCAD is not specifically taught although some aspects of the software are reviewed as required. Production Drawing covers how to develop working drawings and a Bill of Materials for a design project. Working drawings are assembly drawings that show the parts assembled and numbers all the parts to correspond with the Bill of Material. The bill of material is a parts list that provides all specifications of manufactured parts, purchased parts, and fasteners needed for the design. The students learn how to detail and select parts that are needed for the design project. Detailed parts are specialized parts that are manufactured instead of purchased. Students learn the proper techniques to dimension, tolerance, call out material, weld symbols, finished surfaces, geometrical tolerances, and fits between parts. In this course, an Industrial Design Project was introduced to have the students apply the skills they are learning to a real design project. A local manufacturing company of high speed rotating equipment for the printing industry has allowed us to design one of their pieces of equipment. The paper will discuss what the students learn and how it applies to the real world. It discusses the what the students learned before the industrial project was introduce and what impact the project has made on student learning. The students get real practice for industry and the project covers all the topics taught in this course. |
