Description
ENGTE-105 DRAFTING PRINCIPLES 9   Includes line work, lettering, applied geometry,
      dimensioning, orthographic projection, and the use
      of drafting tools. Emphasis on various methods of
      drafting views of objects including auxiliary
      views, revolutions, intersections, developments,
      technical illustration, precision dimensioning,
      working drawings and reproductions of drawings.
      Traditional and CAD drafting tools used.
ENGTE-130 COMPUTER AIDED MACHINE DRAFTING 9   Application of computer aided drafting skills
      using AutoCAD software on increasingly complex
      drawings. Emphasis is on drafting technician's
      position as a designer and detailer for support of
      engineered and manufactured products. Techniques
      of dimensioning and tolerancing detail drawings
      for manufacturing covered. Current manufacturing
      techniques and engineering product design
      processes also covered.
      Pre-requisite: ENGTE 105.
 
ENGTE-135 APPLIED PHYSICS I 3   Combines lectures, classroom discussion and
      problem solving to teach fundamentals of physics.
      Topics include uniform linear and circular motion,
      uniform acceleration, projectiles, Newton's First,
      Second, and Third Laws of Motion, curvilinear
      motion, forces in rotation, elasticity, friction,
      work, momentum, rotational motion, mechanical
      properties of materials, vibrations and waves,
      sound and fluid mechanics, energy, and properties
      of materials. Pre-requisite: ENGTE 123 or MTHPT
      123
ENGTE-154 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER DRAFTING 4   Teaches basic computer skills using various CAD
      software. Learning centers around these components
      and how they send and receive information. Basic
      understanding of computer hardware, software, and
      disk operating systems. Uses basic drafting skills
      learned from traditional drafting courses to
      create simple dimensioned drawings.
 
ENGTE-204 CIVIL TECHNOLOGY 9   Covers basics of mapping including contours,
      symbols, topography, curve geometry, and curve
      data. Methods of calculating angles, bearings,
      distances, areas, quantities, and grades studied.
      Maps drawn from survey field notes. Practical
      problems given in cross-sections and profiles,
      cuts and fills, grades, earthwork, and horizontal
